Had the best idea for my Mom's birthday, and ipod. So, that she could listen to all the music she enjoys in addition to various podcasts, audio books, NPR, etc...So, here I am while the rest of the family is sleeping soundly(well not her heiness-Lady Issabelle). I need to get this done tonight because tomorrow there are other pressing things to attend to. So, you can understand my delima: Say F*@# it and go to bed or create more pressure and that sense of being overwhelmed. Hum...what would Brittney do? Shave my head and pretend that I am in crisis? Nah, I haven't flown over that cookoos nest yet. So I will do my best to finish what I can, do a few yoga poses, meditate, write in my journal(and you all thought you had an insight to my most personal, intimate thoughts and feelings). Now, I regret to say those are saved for my therapist. But, Do not dismay! Where else could you find such whit, irony and deep spiritual thought? Come on give the girl a break! At the least, I have been a little more consistant!
I couldn't decide which poem to end with, one that seems more appropriate to my rantings or one that is so passionately beautiful. So, here are both:
"Who would have thought that all things are the manefestation of the Essence of Mind!"
- The Sutra of Hui Neng
I love to see the big white moon,
A shining star in the sky;
I love to see the little stars,
When the shadow clouds go by.
I love the rain drops falling
on my roof-top in the night;
I love the soft wind's sighing,
before the dawn's grey light.
I love the deepness of the blue,
In my Lord's heaven above;
But better than all these things I think,
I love my lady love.
-Langston Hughes
Okay so it is bedtime, so I couldn't resist
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life ia a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
-Langston Hughes
