Shivoham

I cannot stop listening to this amazing mantra. There are two versions that I have. I discovered this one second, and I think I am liking this one better - at the moment at least. I really love it.

This mantra is an affirmation of my true self. "I am the soul and not the body" I am Shiva!

The Teaching Gambit

Sometiimes my feelings can be hurt by the words of another. If that other is someone really important to me than inurring myself against such pain can be very difficult. But this should not be a very large problem when the other is just an acquaintance, or a stranger.

When my feelings are hurt by a statement it is probably because I have grown to attached to my opinions. My opinions are not my self. There exceptions of course. It is perfectly fine to be upset because of bad news (you're fired, there's been an accident, etc.) but not because someone has labelled me or disagreed with one of my opinions.

Facebook Time

Despite growing performance issues, my Pre continues to grow in the significance of the role it plays in my daily life. This is because of the Notes app (which I am using even now to write this) and because of FaceBook. I really love FB. I hear many people complain about how much time they "waste on CrackBook" but I am not a member of that whiners club.

Lucky Days

Danger from Above!

Fucking Shithawks.

I really do love all of God's creatures, but lately I seem to run a-fowl of the feathered ones. I swear they've been out to get me.

Life At Work

It was a strange day. Synchronicities abounded. Just little things, but it seems like I am getting better at going with the flow. I am a believer in the idea that the Universe will present me with greater challenges as my abilities grow. Today was one of those days.

Golden Memories

Hitching across this great country
Stuck on the road to Golden

I see it as an opportunity
To fully enjoy the mountains

I am oh so thankful for the music 
I carried with me on that Golden highway

I will always see those mountains in my mind
Whenever I hear the song Holiday

I will never forget all the places
I seen on my amazing journey

The characters behind the faces
And their influence on my reality

Random Musicians

I love living downtown in the Eastcide! Lately I keep running into random musicians, and not the usual buskers either. In fact they don't even take money.

Last night there was some kind of marching band on the corner at Pain & Wastings.

Today there was a ragtime jazz band in Gastown. Pretty cool for sure.

Life In The Park

Oppenheimer Park has got it's own storey, and it's a rather interesting one. But one for another day.
http://www.miss604.com/2010/07/oppenheimer-park-profile.html

It has played a prominent role in my own life. As part of both the Olympic legacy and the stimulus package the park recently underwent a significant upgrade.

Some people were sceptical that it was a good idea. The money spent, and/or closing the park for nearly a year. (my friend and neighbour Delayne was quite upset)

I think it was money well spent and the new park is living up to it's potential. The dealers are still there on the west side (Dunlevy St.). But the new playground and clubhouse on the East side (Jackson St.) are seeing allot of use. Although this was true of the old building, what is new is the sound of children playing and laughing. It was a great thing to see and hear this afternoon. It's a beautiful thing to have children playing in the heart of the DTES.

Love Is

Love is many things
This I feel is true.

Love is more than just
How I feel for you

It is the force that makes rain
Fall towards the ground

It is the void inside me
When you're not around

It is the plants striving up
Towards the Sun

It is the interconnectedness
That makes us all of one

It is the force that binds
All the atoms together

The root and cause of hurricanes
And all other kinds of weather

It is the underlying drive
Behind all the world's strife

It is both cause and effect
The true meaning of life

Manifesting Chaos

"All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure."  - Mark Twain

Reality is a tricky concept. There are many appropriate adjectives. One that I don't often hear is malleable. I believe that my thoughts have a strong influence on the world around me and over time actually manifest into reality. I am not referring to some sort of magical ability to make things appear or happen without doing the necessary work. Not really. The thoughts I think play a huge role in what actually happens to me.
