Oregonfire | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:56 pm     This is the thread to be mellow. MEL-low. Relax, take a deep breath, let it out. Become one with the computer chair. Think of puppies and flowers. Breathe, and relax, Breathe, and relax. Whoosh...bad energy is gone. Here is a Zen poem for you to contemplate. If you think that you have cut off illusory mind, instead of simply clarifying how illusory mind melts, illusory mind will come up again, as though you had cut the stem of a blade of grass and left the root alive. - Menzen Zuiho (1682 –1769) |

Cute1073 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Breathe, Breathe, puppies, flowers, one with the computer chair, the horribly judgmental people don't matter, breath puppies flowers, and one with the computer chair..... Yes! Thank you oregon you just kept me from typing a nasty post that probably would have been edited out. You are wonderful! |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Can I join in with a Novena instead? We're not supposed to have open minds and new age tendencies in the Catholic Church. Not that a Novena would be relaxing, but a few Ave Maria's could thread together as a pretty good Zennish chant if I channel them through my nose. |

Angelsluv | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:16 pm     Born To Synthesize Composer: Todd Rundgren Album/CD: Initiation (1975) A handful of nothing is all that I need It contains plus and minus everything The odd combinations are what make up The world that you see before you In one hand I hold what people call good The rest I hold in the other But these are just symbols to the perfected minds Of which we are but mere reflections I was born to synthesize Energize and catalyze I was born to synthesize Like waves on still water the forms reappear Quickly erasing the ones before But forms like these are born only to die But the life in them lives forever Pyramids, spheres, and obelisks are the patterns of all creation But the red polygon's only desire is to get to the blue triangle I was born to synthesize Visions rise before your eyes I was born to synthesize The orbits of consciousness spin 'round and 'round Apparently they go nowhere But the odd combinations are leading you on To your home which is in the center You were born to synthesize Ain't no jive - it's no surprise You were born to synthesize |
