" Practicing The Way, sweetheart,"

She said softly, eyes half closed, while gently stroking my bare forearm,

"Is very much about purifying your mindstream, cleansing it of such silt and mud of defilements as you may have karmically accumulated, that the original clarity anf fluidity of its current may be restored...
And in so doing, honey, you will get to know that that rivulet of life you believed yours has never been other than an amorous interplay of the elements, gently slanting down, sloping away towards the vast, the great ocean of compassion that binds together all beings...
And just as on a calm lake a suave and mellow summer breeze may hither and tither waft soft ripples and make the liquid mirror of its surface glitter and glimmer in the warm sunlight,
Just so, sweetie, the very purpose of our fragile, brief, transient existences, is to manifest the oneness of it all,
And make that universe,
Sparkle with love..."

And I wish this was a dream a cherished dream come true. And as I think this thought I also knew the real is never the conceptual. The dream , a world without a practical consequence, a word, a thought under erasure. Does it hurt to think and dream, a world where nothing is a sin, where nothing begs for forgiveness, where I create myself and immediately dissolve before time, the hunter tracks me down and nails me, puts me down under a selective square of a parody of what I made of me. an abstruse symbol, a watery grave where everything flows , nothing is held. And in the very moment of saying this I know, how I yearn to create a body, a body that I could call You, a body, a You that will give me a name, a name that will never be erased Shared privately • View activity The Cloberth +1 Food for thought.

Horse Sacrifice : Significance Tighe, Sushama, Sheikha

  The universal significance of horse-sacrifice: 'ashwamedha' in Vedas: "We mortals who owe our Self to Time are performing a sacrifice ceaselessly. The Dawn (Usha) is the head of the sacrificial horse ; the Sun his eye, the wind his breath; his open   mouth the universal Fire (Agni), and Time, measured by our human parameter as year is the body of the sacrificial horse; the sky his back, the atmosphere his belly, the four quarters his ribs, the seasons his limbs, the half months and months his joints, days and nights his feet, the stars his bones, the clouds his flesh."

  . I was like a sleeping sea. You woke me up and the storm blew through. I shake my waves, I sink my ships; I climb to the sky and punish stars... I'm ashamed and hide between my folds, I go crazy and kill my fish. Don't look at me with fear... You wanted it... Alfonsina Storni
