Thoughts: Perspective
Thoughts: From the bones of a dying world…
From the speech, by Terence McKenna:
“You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”
Writings: We are SO alike….
Just wanted to share, my friend:
It was a couple of years ago that I was having lunch with my Indian friend Anand. He said something clever (can’t remember what), and I responded, “Yeah, I do it that way, too. Great minds think alike, hey?”
He smiled and said, “In India, when we have a situation like that, we say, “Fools seldom differ.”
Love you, all the same,

Thoughts: Nearly spring….
Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky, How beautiful it is? All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness there is a poem, there is a song. Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.
When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with the music of many leaves, which in due season fall and are blown away. And this is the way of life.
