Wallflower???

Yo! Marko da rapper


We choose how actively we take part in the cosmic dance of life.
We can become wallflowers,
mere spectators to life,
if we get trapped in the patterns
and habits of the past.
Or we can choose to dance by being present
and open to the energies,
the opportunities
and the guidance available to us each moment.

Sanskrit poem

Attachment

I get log jammed a lot....seems like the only thing that helps to open the flow is silence....
when I sit in silence I clear my attachments.....yoga, sketching, morning walks help too, but I think it is the silence.....the clearing of all that clutters my mind.
Have a great day.....hope you like the quote below.
Love, Michele

Attachment

What is in the mind does not belong to the mind. The content of consciousness flows in and out. But mind is not the content.
Attachment to content creates a log-jam in the river of mind. It complicates and confuses. For everything that we want there is something that we don’t want.
This attachment is an attempt to control what cannot be controlled.

Every time you surrender ego, more ego comes up. That is the nature of the process. It doesn’t mean that you are doing anything incorrectly. It just means that you are going deeper.

BRANDYWINE HUNDRED, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police have arrested a Chester, Pennsylvania, man who they said was running naked and drunk on Interstate-95 and caused three accidents.

Police said Ardonas Gilbert, 26, was running along the southbound lanes near Marsh Road about 10 p.m. Monday. He is charged with two counts of assault and a single count of being drunk on the highway.

Two citizens tried to help Gilbert, but police say he began to assault them. Then police said he ran back into traffic and caused three accidents when cars tried to avoid hitting him.

No one was seriously injured.

The Greatest Danger Before You

My friend Sarah sent me this today. Very powerful. Happy Day......jump off the treadmill of the daily grind and enjoy it!!! Namaste, Michele

In the end -- and it will end -- your life will seem to have sped by like a fleeting dream. Much of your story will be the age-old but ever joyful human experience: romance, family, satisfying work, and happy completion. I wish you a great fountain of successes. You will also be provided with all the failures and tragedies necessary to deepen and widen your soul -- sufficient, I hope, to make you wise and forgiving of all human frailties. I pray that these necessary troubles will never long crush your optimism nor your love for this magical life.

The greatest danger before you is this: you live in an age when people would package and standardize your life for you -- steal it from you and sell it back to you at a price. That price is very high.

You have already been selected for this program. You have its credit cards and designer labels already expensively around you. In the months ahead, you will find yourselves working long hours, too exhausted for community life or even good friendships -- too compromised to take a stand against the abuses of the system you serve. A great treadmill has been devised for you, and its operators do not care much if it wears you out or kills you. A system is in place to steal your life from you, if you will let it. Don't let it.

Read, study, meditate and think for yourself. Let your most serious education now commence, if it has not already done so. Refine and hold your own values, and pay the high price necessary to live those values. Decide what is important to you, and hold your ground against all temptations and tortures. From the pink granite of your own values, build a fortress against the world's ethical compromises, or you will soon be among those dead of eye who stand next to you in elevators but who are not alive. Don't let them steal your life. This is the only warning you will receive.

--Granny D

and who are you?

The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions,
the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education,
physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history,
belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial,
religious, and other collective identifications.
None of these is you.
-Eckart Tolle

wonder

It's not just that I'm getting older and cramming for finals.
It's that it becomes more and more real. And the closer you get
into that experience, the less any words describing it make any sense.
And so you're finally reduced to silence, awe and wonder.
John Shelby Spong

Enlightenment

You may have expected that enlightenment would come like sap!
Instantaneous and permanent. This is unlikely. After the first "aha"
experience, it can be thought of as the thinning of a layer of clouds.
-Ram Dass

Remember the whole thing is just a play and the Lord has assigned you a part.
Act your part well; there all your duty ends.
He has designed the play and he enjoys it.

Miss Kelly

Miss Kelly
By: Macy

My dance teacher, Ms. Kelly is great at many things. She is a mom, she owns her own dance studio, she is in charge of a dance company, and she has to deal with all the studio parents. I seriously don’t know how she does it!
Ms. Kelly has short, curly blonde hair, and a wide smile. What she usually wears is a colorful stretchy shirt, jazz pants, and hip-hop shoes; this wonderful teacher always has a hopeful spirit. She helps you improve, she is very patient, and she is also always willing to work things out.
She also has a family. Her husband’s name is Scott. He always does maintenance at the studio such as scenery for a recital. The three kids that she has all dance. There is Samantha (Sami), Andrea, (Andie), and Daniella (Danni). They are in 10th grade, 6th grade, and 4th grade. It amazes me how busy she is but yet she still has time for her family.
Ms. Kelly owns Medina Centre for Dance Art (MCDA). She teaches tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, and combo. Trinity Dance Company is the company at MCDA, and she is in charge of it. All the costuming, choreographing and scheduling performances are up to her. Sometimes she is not the most organized person, however she always pulls everything together in the end, Her tolerance level must be very high, with all the parents and kids worrying and asking questions. Eventually, she fixes everything and answers all the questions. She is also very giving. The dance company does charity work such as UNICEF and danced at The Race for the Cure. I’d never want anyone as a dance teacher but her.
Now you know how busy Ms. Kelly is. She probably never rests! Her talent amazes me and I am very inspired be her. If I was her, I would always be crabby and tired, but she never seems to be (well sometimes). She is AWESOME!

forgiveness

“The anger, the resentment, the bitterness,
the desire for
recrimination against people you believe have wronged
you:
they harden the heart and deaden the spirit and lead
to self-inflicted wounds.”
-Bill Clinton
