"...the truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, ...a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off... They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating'.-Pearl S. Buck

i love me a good pray

I pray alot. I mean a.lot. You could nearly say i am in a constant state of prayer. Or another way to think of it is that prayer is my personal white noise. White noise for those who've not heard the term is basically background noise. Static. Because we dont watch teevee or listen to radio as such in our house, we have zero white noise...ah the bliss. It leaves a lot of space for general pottering around prayer. Unless im consciously thinking about it sometimes i dont even realise im doing it anymore.
I used to pray to a God. Yes just one specific God. But these days that is not quite inline with my personal beliefs whilst also being completely inline with my personal beliefs if you get my drift.
One of my favourite sayings is "there are as many roads to god as there are breaths of sons of god.'

This isnt meant to be about religion but i guess im just inlcuding it as its relevant to who/ what i pray to & how i pray.

To me...god is all. everywhere everything. god is not religion. god is existance. oh & god most definitely is love. god loves love. god loves love so much god decided to be love...man i love that.
So when i pray, i pray to all. i send my prayers, my thoughts, intentions, desires out to god...outward & inward to everything.
i offer & i request. i connect with god, with everything external of me & with everything internal of me....& i pray. oh i love me a good prayer. you know what i love better than a good prayer? when you can see the power of your prayer manifest around you...within you.

ps: feel free to replace the word god with universe, mother nature, God (in his/ her various religious forms), earth, gody god god, universe, goddess, angel...whatever or whoever god means to you.

shit or get off - a whinge about whingers

there is only so much whinging i can handle...either mine or others.

people are pigs. im sick of sitting in traffic. why are people so angry. there is so much crime in our neighbourhood. i hate my job. no one gives a shit about anyone but themself. the education system doesnt work. whats wrong with people these days? there are no jobs around here. people have no manners. there are so many cars on the road. i cant get out of debt. housing is so expensive. no one has any morals anymore? when i was a kid......!!!!

seriously, shit or get off the pot. do something about the things you dont like. stop complaining & make a change whether it be for the greater good of others in your community or just for yourself.

it really isnt impossible to live the life you truly want to live. peace is just a few choices & a little action away. contentment is right there at the tip of those fingers that you keep pointing at others, but you have to really want it. you have to want it so bad youre actually willing to get up off your arse & grab hold of it.

if youre not prepared to do that then that explains that incessant sound...all im hearing is yack yack yack...you can blame everyone & everything else for the rest of your days..but if youre not part of the solution youre part of the problem.
