Quote of the day:
Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows
-Emil Cioran
1. Where the Lights Don't Shine
The other day I had some floor lamp delivered. A few minutes later it was all set up, no hassle, and apart from the use of a little screw driver, not much effort was put into assembling this lamp, a beacon of light and energy. Thereafter, It got me pondering about self -created suffering and its effects, about how we make things too complicated for ourselves sometimes. Whatever happened to simplicity? Our souls have become darker than before, and we are barely glowing.
2. 3:33AM
Every other night this same dream occurs. It isn't filled with jeopardy or any evil of sorts. I know this because although my mind may seem awake, my body isn't. Time does not really matter much when one is asleep, and dreaming. When one has wings like the birds, and flying effortlessly across vast lands. We become what we always wanted eventually, either in our dreams or in reality.
3. A Thousand Stories Need Just One Author
A thousand stories to be told and all waiting for the right author. It is not necessary for there to be a thousand authors for this task, as only one can readily accomplish what a thousand others can do. What is it that the heart can not yearn for? What great accomplishment can one not dream of? Just because something requires a lot of minds and thinking does not mean the same can not be thought of by one individual -you.
Peace & Love*

ReplyDeleteYes indeed, why must things get so complicated? Well said.
ReplyDeleteTo keep my life (and household) simple and (largely) clutter-free is something I have successfully been working on for years now; it's a constant work in process and gives me much joy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting bit about the recurring dream.

We can certainly screw up our lives by unknowingly complicating them with "stuff." I'm usually a fan of my dreams.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your musing.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said! Have a wonderful week!!
ReplyDeleteYour musings are always such an inspiration...thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.:)
I like your first thought - stop making life so complex. When I appreciate the small things, often the big things handle themselves.
ReplyDeleteAm I imagining things or are your posts updating different times during the day?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to simplicity? Good question. I'm conscious not to create suffering for myself when there is none. True there are loads of such everywhere.
ReplyDeleteNice musings. I do disagree that we have become darker. I think that every generation feels that way. I think we just become aware of the darkness.
ReplyDeleteGreat read boss. I salute your skills.

Deep thoughts. Enjoy the Bon Iver. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the need to focus on simplicity. And about your dream, funny you should mention that because it reminded me that last night in my dream I spoke to someone of a dream about a dwelling with different stairs and funny rooms. And they agreed that they had experienced that dwelling that way too. Talk about convoluted!
