In response to "The Prompt"

Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.

In response to "The wasteland"

Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.

In response to "Failure is the best teacher"

Nice entry and I agree. Failure is a teacher but not always, and it is not for everyone.

In response to "THE STORY OF “PIPAL TREE” ON SUKHNA LAKE"

In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.

In response to "Tramp"

Well done!

Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.

He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.

Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!

In response to "My Beleif"

Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.

A SHIFT INTO SILENCE part 2

"Clearly it diminishes the importance of what is experienced. All attention is focused on the silence, the presence, whether or not I want it to do so. There is nothing but that and everything that happens from one minute to the next is there in the background. It’s exciting. I have fallen in love with this thing, fallen in love with the present moment, or, more precisely with what precedes the present moment. I have fallen in love with this thing that makes it possible to live in a calm and gentle fashion. This vision which sees, which enables seeing without the I/me being there: how could anyone do anything but fall hopelessly in love with it!”

In 2003, and as a result of a spontaneous awakening, Yolande quits her career and her lifestyle to devote herself to the observation of the silence/presence she speaks of. She currently shares her experience and her point of view in gatherings and retreats all over the world:

"The whole problem arises from the belief that we are this person. Silence is our true source and is natural in every one of us"
