For Someone

For someone. Just sprang up.

pic under creative commons though author not trackable due to fuzzy content management these days

 

Though you certainly can:

It might also be better

to not pull the trigger

too fast.


If you like so, find the rhythm ...
... and go for it.


With a smile
totally subconsciously today. I even don't know for whom this is. Regard it as a presence present.

Yours,
Lyn

(And seems it's a very inspirited time these days again and I am very curious for more to come but need my shelter first).

Finding of the Day - Consciousness

Human consciousness ist quite a funny thing. Most people are convinced that they do have reasonable knowledge and understanding about why they act in this or the other way.


Beautiful Sri Lankese Elephant from http://www.srilankasafaris.co/asian-elephant. See the fly????? Sry, I couldn't not resist .....

In reality they resemble a fly which is sitting somewhere on top of an elephant.

Whenever the elephant heads for an action or direction, the fly is delighted and tells to itself:

'I am such a smart kid. Exactly that is where I wanted to go.

I really got this fully under my control.'


Enjoy the picture in your head, have a nice Sunday, too.

Nightshifting,
Lyn

A Smile Each Day ...

... keeps the doctor away.


Or: Can smiles save lives?

It's not only once in my life and experienced in both directions that this simple recipe showed to be the essence for human survival.
Its ingrediences are even for free.

Of course, there are also false smiles and they may contain some worms hidden. But you will soon find out about by what they do to you and how it feels. In the short or in the longer term you will know.

Just never listen to any kind of people trying to convince others that what is for free has got no worth.

 

It's maybe even to the contrary:

ALL that is of worth IS free. 

(Which does not automatically imply that everything that is for free is of worth, too.)

Never noticed? Just look around and think it over once more (if you like so). If you have to 'pay' in no matter which sense for humanly necessary interaction THEN there is something severely wrong. Though people do it all the time, practicing livestock husbandry instead of understanding the meaning of human interconnection.

And it's up to us to cherish what we receive ... and keep it well and worthy.

Me got this smile just by seeing the blackbird sitting in the remainings of the Christmas tree on my balcony. As around here their habitat was taken, for a while only hopefully, they now settle where they find a nice place to be (and I am happy I had had no time yet to get the tree to recycling). Even old Christmas trees serve a great purpose - and if it was for only one smile in the morning. Not that I cherish only these; I cherish any being that is.

Looking forward to my little portion of sunshine, to give and to receive, and wishing you also a brightening up for this day (and that you may be able to notice). I know not only from one occasion that a smile can save a life. Literally bilaterally.

Yours,
Lyn

Rediscovery of the Day - Friendship

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

From the great Khalil Gibran's 'The Prophet', 'And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship"'.

The tiny booklet is each time beautiful and read or listened to from time even over decades, growing and learning to know ourselves through time, we learn and learn more and more and understand. There are still passages I know I will only get in ten or more years in the future. Growth is a mystery, too, in itself though that and how it works can not be measured but is nevertheless proven.

And as soon as spirits which belong for a good purpose have found one another, there is always an illusionist not far away, taking advantage of a prey. Who falls for sirens in neediness or due to programmed triggers will be left much more needy than he ever thought he could be.
It's us who fall for illusions which, if to be seen through would  be wiped away like a silent tracker who follows an invisible path in the underwood will dust off the net of a spider just like nothing, on his or on her way.

Intuition tells us the truth but we are the idiots who do not listen. So soft is its voice that it never urges. It is there and respects our free will.


The input did work but the siren sang so overwhelmingly sweet.
I am sorry, so often. We all have to find out by ourselves.

Recovering and rediscovering,
especially that we are never alone,
gratefully for this life despite
all the unnecessary I daily see,
curious anew and
over and over
again.

Yours,

Lyn

Finding of the Day - Unique


All human beings are born unique, but most die as a copy.


Sorry, I could not track the author. I clearly like the way it is to the point.

Cheers and a happy, entirely New Year,
Lyn
