moving from point A to point B
The last couple of days I've experienced the
happiest and saddest of moments with two close
friends on seperate occasions. Proof positive that
there must be balance in this universe. Some words
set in ink in days past that echo forward:
For my friend whose 24-hour rollercoaster has
finally rolled into the gate (i'm always here for
you. each derailment, no matter the size, will
only make you stronger and wiser and more capable
of true love when it comes) :
Always remember, "in jealousy, there is more self-
love than love (La Rochefoucauld)" and "we are
never deceived; we deceive ourselves. (Goethe)"
Finally, "hearts are stronger than swords (Wendell
Phillips)" so "let not your heart be troubled.
(John XIV)"
For my friend who's latest chapter is steaming
full speed ahead toward everlasting happiness (I'm
so happy for you...you deserve every moment of
happiness now and for the rest of your days
together):
"Love in its essence is spiritual fire." ~
Swedenborg
From a page in the book "One" by Richard Bach:
"What have you created?"
I should have painted our teacher, that moment,
she was so darkly bright.
"Two very different sunrises," said Leslie"
"Not two sunrises," said Pye. "The artist does not
create the sunrise, she creates..."
"Oh, of course!" said Leslie. "The artist creates
the painting!"
Pye nodded.
"The sunrise is reality, the painting is what we
make of it?" I asked.
"Exactly!" said Pye. "If each of us had to create
our own reality, could you imagine the chaos?
Reality would be limited to whateer each of us
could invent!"
I nodded and imagined. How to create a sunrise if
I'd never seen one? What to do with a black night
sky to start the day? Would I have thought of a
sky? Of night and day?
Pye went on. "Reality has nothing to do with
appearances, with our narrow way of seeing.
Reality is love expressed, pure perfect love,
unbrushed by space and time."
"...everything that is...that is reality...that is
truth... What we make of it is up to us."
