Daring Adventure

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

-Helen Keller

Sing It George

 

You don't know who I am
But I know all about you
I've come to talk to you tonight
About the things I've seen you do.

I've come to set the record straight
I've come to shine the light on you
Let me introduce my self
I'm the cold hard truth

There is a woman we both know
I think you know the one I mean
She gave her heart and soul to you
You gave her only broken dreams

You say your not the one to blame
For all the heartaches she's been through
I say you're nothing but a liar
And I'm the cold hard truth

All your life that's how it's been
Lookin' out for number one
Takin' more than you give
Movin' on when you're done.
With her you could have had it all
A family and love to last
If you had any sense at all
You'de go and beg her to come back

You think that you're a real man
But you're nothing but a fool
The way you run away from love
The way you try to play it cool

I'm gonna say this just one time
Time is running out on you
You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth
You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth

I Am Awake

When the Buddha started to wander

around India shortly after his

enlightenment, he encountered

several men who recognized

him to be a very extraordinary being. 

They asked him, "Are you a God?" 

"No," he replied. 

"Are you a reincarnation of God?" 

"No," he replied. 

"Are you a wizard, then?" 

"No." 

"Well, are you a man?" 

"No." 

"So what are you?" they asked, being very perplexed. 

"I am awake." 

Buddha means "The Awakened One".

How to awaken is all he taught.

So Sad

Well, it didn't take long for him to venture out, or at least for me to find out, wonder how long it will take her. Very sad, but it was only a matter of time. When you get away with lies and aren't held accountable, the cycle never ends. If you refuse to change what your soul has been crying out for your entire life and keep living a lie, there is no other possible outcome.

He fully expected to go back to how it had always been, his pretend family life -- and the life with other women for emotional support, fun, a physical relationship, mental stimulation, and love. That is the truest, deepest reason for his instantaneous transmutation. When he thought of life there, it was always in terms of putting up with what he had to and getting everything else on the side, and never, ever, entertained even the notion of it being real or satisfying.
