Insanity

"Yours is a culture that has long used physical pain as a punishment for unwanted behavior not only in children, but in adults. You actually kill people to get people to stop killing people.
It is insanity to use the energy that created a problem to seek to solve the problem.
It is insanity to repeat the behaviors you want to stop in order to stop them.
It is insanity to model behaviors all over your society that you say you do not want your offspring to copy.
And the highest insanity is pretending that none of this is happening, then wondering why your children are acting insane."

Neale D. Walsch

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?"

Marianne Williamson

Making people independent and self-sufficient

"By everyone taking initiative, free of ego and its judgements, then we have creative action. With this action we discover that within our self-sufficiency we have the ability to love the differences and the uniqueness in each other.

When one speaks of self-sufficiency this means taking a mature attitude towards life. Whatever choices one makes life reflects it. There is no running away from all the responsibilities that we face in life. Looking for ways of simplifying and easing things for ourselves creates selfishness. By instead creating joy for everybody it is possible to build a joyful selfless service to humanity."

Stillness

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe. I call it stillness, but it is a jewel with many facets: that stillness is also joy, and it is love.

Eckhart Tolle

Ausência #3

É certo, é certo... Já passou mais de um mês desde o meu últimos post!
Estou em época de fraca colheita... Há dias assim, há épocas assim...
Deve ser da geada!!! ihihihih

Weeeeeeeee....

O melhor da vida:

Sobre o tempo: A Lua Nova!

Estava eu a aguardar o semáforo verde de peões, quando "an old lady" me aborda:
"Vou-lhe ensinar uma coisa! Vê a Lua Nova? Está com as pontas para cima: é o marinheiro em pé e é sinal de mau tempo!"
De facto, tem estado um grizo do caraças. Ela não é parva nenhuma!
E acrescenta "Se as pontas estiverem para baixo, é marinheiro deitado! Quer dizer que o tempo está ameno."

Fiquei a pensar, com a minha arrogância urbana: mando-a passear ou finjo prestar-lhe atenção? O facto de ter um lenço à cabeça e transportar um carrinho de compras cheio de pertences, não lhe era muito abonatório. Não tem ar de louca... A simplicidade do seu discurso não significa ignorância... Ah! Deve ser um oráculo "à la Matrix", com uma mensagem complexa camuflada de inocência... Porquê eu?! E que raio de mensagem encobrem as pontas da Lua... hm?

Ah! Finalmente o verde!!!
