Musings


The illusion of control and the control that illusion has over us sometimes does a good deal of pushing us in a position where we think we can plan out our lives.

------------

Inspiration comes from within. The external things that seem to inspire us are just the water that helps the seed of inspiration within our souls to germinate.

When I was a kid, moral science text books told me that God is everywhere. I did not like it then.. from where I was, I wanted God to be more tangible entity.. like God!.. but today, when I saw 7 superbly delicate white and dark green huge butterflies moving about in perfect synchronization, I sensed God. Right there. I was right. He is tangible and He is everywhere.

From Karla...with Love.


"Most loves are like that ... You heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, and your self-respect and independence. After a while, you start throwing people out - your friends, everyone you used to know. And it's still not enough. The lifeboat is still sinking, and you know it's going to take you down with it. I've seen that happen to a lot of girls here. That's why I'm sick of love." ..

Pasha!!


He chews all the stuff I own...including my phone!! has done it...many times. He pees in my plants.. pads around with his muddy paws all over the white tiles before allowing me to wash them..
But he's who I allow even in solitude. He's truly my best friend :)
He's my pet dog, Pasha! and here's what his life around me is teaching me everyday..

Unlike us, Pasha does everything from the bottom of his heart! Whether he wags the tail or barks.Have you ever seen a dog that suffers from inferiority complex or ego problems? Have you ever seen a dog that pretends to be someone he is not? I haven't !
Here is a brief summary of “Pasha Pilanti” life lessons:
- Give and accept affection, freely and often;
- Always be curious about the world around you, especially when new people come into it;
- Take naps; Lots of them!
- Forgive friends who don't have time to play;
- Go out of your way if they do;
- Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy-ride;
- Get the most out of the experience of fresh air and wind in your face;
- When family members come home, always run to greet them;
- Protect your territory;
- Run, romp, and play daily;
- Be loyal;
- Never pretend to be something you're not;
- If you want what is buried, dig until you find it;
- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close and nuzzle them gently;
- Don't bite when a simple growl will do;
- On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree;
- When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body;
- No matter how often you're scolded, don't feel guilty and pout. Run right back and make friends;
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

To quote someone special, "Men as well as animals do whatever makes them happy, differences lie in what makes them happy" :)

Be yourself - Graham Nash

How does it feel , when life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Your life seems uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home
Don't theorize
Look in your eyes, they can't tell lies
though you may disguise what you see
The mirror is free
We once had a savior, But by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Song birds are talking
And runners are walking
A prodigal son's coming home
Don't theorize
Look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you a key
Be yourself
We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that they learn on T.V.
What a way to be free
Be yourself
Then you can free yourself
Free yourself
See yourself
Then you can see yourself
Come on and see yourself
See yourself
