Meditation not Medication
1barefootgirl:
When I was 11/12, I was taught meditation by a grade school teacher who took it upon himself to do that…I think I was one of the very few who caught on though… Have been doing it ever since (getting a lot of other instruction and practice a long the way). :-)

The Absolutely Negative Solitude
Everything reliable having been exhausted,
There is no place between heaven
and earth
To place this mortal body.

Zen in the Art of Archery
Master: The right art is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede. What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen.
We masters say: one shot - one life! What this means,...
WOW!...
let me just say how very impressed i am by the shear creative impulse that is expressed here on tumblr. i am truly awed by all of you. keep expressing and inspiring!

Family:
Sister: Do you just sit around with your friends and talk about this stuff? Who actually wants to hear about this?
Me: -_-

Love is ever present...
Love never changes. You do. You change with each passing day. Fickle because of who you want to be, who you want to know, what you think. You change according to your needs, your wants, your desires. Love that is projected, narcissistic love, love that is conditional is not real love. That’s ok. We all do it.
