Experience is the only way to become alert.

I have always been a pioneer on the Internet.

So I encountered good and bad things.

It is the same as in life.

We will only learn from our own experiences.

Thanks for your wishes.
Am grateful to have been able to bring my projects to a good end, in the end 🙂

I’m sure your project will be successful, Mieke. Best wishes to you and your partner with the endeavor.

Malcontent, I have received my share, ever since Intent(blog) started in 2005.

Made my own website (heartphone.org) in such a way that comments were not possible.

That is the only way for being virus-free 🙂

Am going offline forgood as soon as I have finished my latest video project.

It contains lots of poems I made with a beautiful lady-friend from India.

We have learnt so much from one another and expressed this in a beautiful poetic way. I want to honour the feminine force in this way.

Good luck in your political career
Fulfillment will be very near
If you set your mind on this
Setting a goal and completing it will always give so much bliss 🙂

All the best!!

Much love and inspiration from Mieke

Been having a few problems posting on the site of late. Obviously some malcontent (gosh…I wonder who that could be?) with a knowledge, albeit limited, of scripts, and html- which is satisfying some craving to fill the emptiness within their unhappy, imaginary self.

😉

I have nothing to say
and I am saying it and that is
poetry as I need it .
This space of time is organized
We need not fear these silences,-
we may , in fact , come to
love them .

This is a composed talk , for I am making
it just as I make a piece of music .
It is like a glass of milk . We need
the glass and we need the milk .
Or again it is like an empty glass into
which at any moment anything may be
poured.
As we go along , (who knows?)
an i-dea may occur in this talk .
I have no idea whether one will
or not . If one does, let it .

So , out in- too the
world I go . Political gathering .
Life is political .

Breath ing in ,
breath ing out ,

mindfully . ahhh

Dinner tasted so much better
cause we did make it together

Son and daughter nowadays
do this in the same ways
with their mates
raising kids together
working part-time for the better
atmosphere at home
never doing things alone
anymore
but together
🙂

Have a fun day!

🙂

giving me inspiration
in my daily investigation
making me creative
in the moment I have
I believe that this is all
needed to survive 🙂

peace

(the oven is crying out) 🙂

When the sun rises
above the horizon
a new day is born

The forces of nature
will slowly paint
the reality
in which we are able to acquaint
ourselves

It is so different
for people to experience

how can we ever
come further than obedience
to the forces of nature
in order to become mature?

I’m having fun, too, in this time-line….

But maybe it’s just as important to stand deep in our ignorance, thus enjoying an unending exploration of the world’s secrets and the mysteries of our own hearts.Anything more than that could lead to a superior place of illusion.

Today we have astounding resources for knowledge, but we also desperately need the means of forgetting and letting go of what we know.

The new pond,
a frog jumps in,
-no sound. -Ryokan

🙂

I only know
am a blank screen
always able
to begin
anew 🙂

Be careful with that knowledge. 🙂

This is as close as I’ll come to getting involved in the “free will” vs. “non free-will” debate.

AND

With every choice we make, we create a different “time-line.”

🙂

Guess the status quo status: 50:50 will be the best Nature can guarantee us.

Raising a son and a daughter made me grow into that direction in a natural way 🙂

🙂

Bhagavid Gita says we can’t
We are deluded in believing we can.

Up till now science has come up with the same conclusion.

We are all part of Nature.
Nature is creative, we rehearse what nature gives us to rehearse.

I do not believe that being conscious of oneself means separation of Nature.

I don’t happen to believe, along with Rabbi Kushner, that eating from the Tree of Knowledge was sinful, and may in fact have been one of the bravest and most liberating events in the history of the human race.

Pretty epic stuff, yes? 🙂

Or is it always a subjective one to be interpreted in all those subjective realities of each individual personally?

I think Eve said the same thing in the Garden about boredom by making the choice she made. 🙂

By observing my grandchildren I simply see the difference between a boy and a girl.

It there was no difference life would be very boring.

Thanks for the great conversation.

Wish you a happy day!

They may indeed hear better than men at an older age, but do they really listen? 🙂

Women in general do hear much better at older age than men !!

Lol

It is kinda funny. I look around at other guys, and gals, who are my age. They act elderly!! Not young at heart, which is surprising when I think about our generation. But I sense that’s more about the opportunities missed. It’s become almost stereotypical!! To the point that the generation which came after is acting the same way! Elderly! LOL!

I hope their hearing isn’t too far gone, because the tee-shots have a little bit more distance on them this year.

FORE!!!!!!! 🙂

Being in nature and becoming one with the playful movement of golfing 🙂

But those students did already something the author was not expecting 🙂

Another for instance of the many..

This weekend I went out to a heated driving range to knock the rust off of the golf swing. The dinky little golf ball soon looked huge, and, it was as though I became it…

Sometimes this happens while cooking, too. 🙂

the bonding of a mother with her new born baby
It is as if two souls melt into one.

Or the bonding of an artist with his/her work

There are many.

Well, at least he is giving every man a chance to write down what it is exactly that he thinks about when he does not think about sex 🙂

Up till now the book is a bit hit among young male students who write notes in it during college……..

The first is Carolyn Myss http://www.myss.com/
Myss has an astonishing ability to offer down to earth guidance through the realm of spirit and intuition like no one I have ever read before.
One of the over arching themes that run through the many books of hers that I have read is her desire and capacity to say “Man Up” to both men and women in some manner of personal, spiritual, or emotional crisis in a way that inspires both sexes to be strong, courageous, articulate and powerful; while she is being nurturing intuitive and affectionate.

The Second is Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
http://www.clarissapinkolaestes.com/

I assure you if you could assemble a meeting of these four individuals amazing things would happen and astonishing progress would be made on this matter.

I will leave you with a poem by Dr. Estes entitled How Too Silence A Woman

It is one of my favorite pieces of contemporary poetry, but you really have to hear her read it aloud to do it justice it’s awe inspiring.

How Too Silence A Woman, Retrieving Her Voice

at the same time.”
When they say, “I cant understand you when you’re being so angry.”
Say. “You couldn’t hear me when I was being nice,

When someone says, “That’s not practical.”
Say, “It’s practically a done deal, thank you very much.”

believe you, or follow it.”
Say, “I will do it, I will believe in it, and in time,
the world may well follow it.”
When it is said, “No one wants to listen to that.”
Say, “I know you have a hard time listening to that.”

then I am going to blow the doors off that system

When they say, “It’s already been done.”
Say, “It’s not been done well enough.”
When they say, “It’s not yet time.”
Say, “It’s way past time.”
When they say, “It’s not the right day,
right month, right year.”
Tell them, “The right year was last year,
and the right month was last month,
and the right day was yesterday,
and you’re running behind schedule, vato,
and what in the name of God and all that is holy
are you going to do about it?”
When they say, “Who do you think you are?” —
tell them …
tell them who you are,
and don’t hold back.
When they say, “I put up with it,
you’ll have to put up with it too.”
Say, “No, no, no, no.”
When they say, “I’ve suffered a long time
and you’ll have to suffer too.”
Say, “No, no, no, no.”
When they say, “You’re an incorrigible, defiant,
hard to get along with,
unreasonable woman … ”
Say, “Yes, yes, yes, yes …
and I have worse news for you yet —
we are teaching our daughters,
and our mothers,
and our sisters …
we are teaching our sons,
and our fathers,
and our brothers,
to be
just
like
us.”

Cool Screen name. I’m still trying to figure out how to pronounce….

I ran into the site you just posted last week. Good stuff!

mieke

Huh? 🙂

What have women done with their revolution? Name one women’s organisation dedicated to the wellbeing of others. It appears to be all about beign a goddess in the kitchen/office … and that’s it.

Some author has written a book recently with the title: “What do men think of when they do not think of sex?”

Rest of the book consists of empty pages.

It sells by the dozens.

Now I ask you and then you ask me 🙂

“Any attempt to grasp it ends in frustration. And yet, it’s unavoidably right here. It is not something mystical and transcendental that you have to work very hard to see. It is this direct experiencing right now. It is seemingly obscured by the very effort to pin it down, grasp it mentally, conceptualize it. In that grasping and the ensuing frustration, we feel confused and separate. That grasping, seeking movement of thought creates the mirage of “me,” the phantom self that is always incomplete and seemingly needs to find something or become something or figure everything out. Waking up is simply relaxing that mental grasping. In the words of one Zen teacher, waking up is opening the hand of thought.”
