"Humanism - 
the belief that , while our lives
should be devoted to happiness, 
they are impoverished 
without and idea of 
happiness
deeper than mere property-bound 
prosperity.
The special virtue of freedom 
is not that it makes you richer
 and more powerful
but that it gives you more time 
to understand
what it means to be 
alive. "

Adam Gropnik











" I do not believe
 they've run out of 
surprises. "

Larry Niven 












" The distinction
 between the past, present
and future 
is only a stubbornly persistent
 illusion. "

                                                                     Albert Einstein

Life itself
-they say-
is an illusion
from which
we awaken.

More and more
we know that
less and less
is
"Hard Fact.'

We live in the 
interpretation zone.

My narrative
and yours
are very different.

My inspiring leader
is your bete noire.

And vice
versa.

It's pointless
to be angry
at a dreamer.

For in doing so
we turn our dreams
into nightmares.

Sleep on!
All I can do
is to love you.

For after all,
in this realm of
dreams,
and sudden awakenings
what is there
but fellowship?

Sail on,
sail on
your cloud of dreaming.

And thank YOU kindly
for anchoring it
here
for a while.

                        fondly, cloudia

we only have a perception of reality. 5 senses are not enough.

I will always anchor myself here Cloudia. Your posts are always calling me into port :)

Jeannie said...

Our perceptions are filtered through our experiences and personalities. We add and subtract details all the time.

'Life itself is an illusion from which we awaken.' Interesting : )

Except your blog is never an illusion lounge - it is the truth lounge, the true path lounge. I love the way you gather us here for lotus petals of wisdom. Happy Sunday dear one x

Lovely words Cloudia. I love dreaming so much, I wonder if I would accept enlightenment - the erasing of the illusion.

To be honest, i do not like surprises !

All is illusion. Einstein was right - we are so cloaked in our own stubborn illusions that we fail to understand how things work.

This was lovely, Cloudia, all of it. Thank you.

And we have a lot to learn from our furry friends, who live and love in the here and now.
