Not Seeing

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

—Rainer Maria Rilke

Sometimes I can't see for looking. If you are here it is because you heart has led you here. Welcome. I have missed you.

Instead

I could be with you. Instead I'm playing stupid ass Facebook games. Not for long though. Right?

Jupiter

More than the moon. I should have been following Jupiter.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

No! This is all a mistake.

Ego

I am lost when I long for you. Writing this makes it worse. In more than one way I desire sleep and illusion.

Time to go Home

Late and starting to rain,
it's time to go home.
We've wandered long enough
in empty buildings.
I know it's tempting to stay
and meet those new people.
I know it's even more sensible
to spend the night here with them,
but I want to go home.

We've seen enough beautiful places
with signs on them saying
This is God's House. That's seeing the
grain like the ants do,
without the work of harvesting.
Let's leave grazing to cows and go
where we know what everyone really intends,
where we can walk around without clothes on.

~ RUMI (from: Open Secret, translated by Coleman Barks)

Thanks to VM for sharing.

Sounds better than it is

Laboring in obscurity.

Sweeping

As in not. And I stick by that promise.

Stop being so religious

What
Do sad people have in
Common?

It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past

And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.

What is the beginning of
Happiness?

It is to stop being
So religious

Like

That.

- Hafiz

Where they can't find me

Which is why I'm here now.
