Swinging on Spirals User ID: 14874606 United States 09/09/2012 03:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How's it going to end? Quoting: Swinging on Spirals With change. Depending on perception and how well integration of changes is made, will determine how the changes change you. What do you think will become of those who cannot integrate change? ...For them, it doesn't end? It'll change. Just will not be as comfortable. An example would be something like this: When the markets crashed, many at the top couldn't handle it. It was extremely painful to them. So painful some could not live anymore. A small farmer somewhere, didn't notice much.

What a Ride!" We do not Die, We Awaken to the Dream that We Lived. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 19811792 United States 09/14/2012 10:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A bee circles a clover, A fisherman mends a glimmering net. Happy porpoises jump in the sea, By the rainspout young sparrows are playing And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be. On the day the world ends Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas, A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn, Vegetable peddlers shout in the street And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island, The voice of a violin lasts in the air And leads into a starry night. And those who expected lightning and thunder Are disappointed. And those who expected signs and archangels' trumps Do not believe it is happening now. As long as the sun and the moon are above, As long as the bumblebee visits a rose, As long as rosy infants are born No one believes it is happening now. Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet Yet is not a prophet, for he's much too busy, Repeats while he binds his tomatoes: No other end of the world will there be, No other end of the world will there be. --Czeslaw Milosz |

In this liberation lies the blessedness of the present. I say that there is an eternal reality which can be discovered only when the mind is free from all illusion. So beware of the person who offers you comfort, for in this there must be exploitation; he creates a snare in which you are caught like a fish in a net." |
