I am waiting for it…. its not yet the time.

Sunrise By Norah Jones.

Sunrise
Sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock’s held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise
Sunrise
Couldn’t tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon’s already come and gone

And I said
Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you

Surprise
Surprise
Couldn’t find it in your eyes
But I’m sure it’s written all over my face

Surprise
Surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

Then I say
Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you

And now the night
Will throw its cover down, ooo, on me again
Ooh, and if I’m right
It’s the only way to bring me back

Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you
Hooo, yeah, hooo, hooo
To you

And if you want to listen to the song.. here it is

And its a nice slow day…

  • people possess basic goodness, they just hide it somewhere.. or it gets covered with perceptions.. from self and others..
  • there is always a leap of faith when one comes across positivity
  • happiness from the person I employ makes my day
  • a genuine conversation has its benefits
  • capability does not always complement congeniality
  • focus does not always mean sincerity
  • having a good laugh does make the whole world seem a better place
  • creative project keeps me from devil’s workshop
  • change is not always a heavy cross to bear
  • acceptance does not always mean tolerance and vice versa
  • thinking does not always lead to doing… and doing does not lead to thinking..
  • its better to learn home truths about any circumstances that one is in..
  • experience and not practice makes it perfect…

Buhahahah !!!

My daily reading says this which is so correct .. I am growing to love these cards.. :) Usually am into Egyptian but these cards are showing me wonderful insights.. Just started on this.. Think it does good for soul guidance.. :)

The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.

Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls – and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.

There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.

The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed.

Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang Chapter 4

Commentary:

This card shows a small wildflower that has met the challenge of the rocks and stones in its path to emerge into the light of day. Surrounded by an aura of bright golden light, it exposes the majesty of its tiny self. Unashamed, it is equal to the brightest sun.

When we are faced with a very difficult situation we have a choice: we can either be resentful, and try to find somebody or something to blame for the hardships, or we can face the challenge and grow.

The flower shows us the way, as its passion for life leads it out of the darkness and into the light. There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be.

Its Dad’s birthday today.. Happy birthday Papa !!

Its so good to have you here with me.. this time.. and I wish you many more birthdays..

Today said bye bye to my cook.

Great guy and all that.. but he has a mind of his own.. sigh..cooks amazing but I think he is made to do hotel business rather than home cooking.. more power to him..

Getting a decent cook.. well she looks like one at least .. tomorrow.. so am crossing my fingers..

Rest is the usual…

I need to vent.. have something knotted in my gut.. I need to get my good venting friend.. for tea.. and really let it out..

Either that… or am thinking that time will serve its purpose.. slowly and steadily.. and I will be able to think on that topic more objectively.

The Dream

This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this: “We come alone into this world, we go alone.” All togetherness is illusory. The very idea of togetherness arises because we are alone, and the aloneness hurts. We want to drown our aloneness in relationship…. That’s why we become so much involved in love. Try to see the point. Ordinarily you think you have fallen in love with a woman or with a man because she is beautiful, he is beautiful. That is not the truth. The truth is just the opposite: you have fallen in love because you cannot be alone. You were going to fall. You were going to avoid yourself somehow or other. And there are people who don’t fall in love with women or men–then they fall in love with money. They start moving into money or into a power trip, they become politicians. That too is avoiding your aloneness. If you watch man, if you watch yourself deeply, you will be surprised–all your activities can be reduced to one single source. The source is that you are afraid of your aloneness. Everything else is just an excuse. The real cause is that you find yourself very alone.

Osho Take it Easy, Volume 2 Chapter 1

Commentary:

Some enchanted evening you’re going to meet your soulmate, the perfect person who will meet all your needs and fulfill all your dreams. Right? Wrong! This fantasy that songwriters and poets are so fond of perpetuating has its roots in memories of the womb, where we were so secure and “at one” with our mothers; it’s no wonder we have hankered to return to that place all our lives. But, to put it quite brutally, it is a childish dream. And it’s amazing we hang on to it so stubbornly in the face of reality. Nobody, whether it’s your current mate or some dreamed-of partner in the future, has any obligation to deliver your happiness on a platter–nor could they even if they wanted to. Real love comes not from trying to solve our neediness by depending on another, but by developing our own inner richness and maturity. Then we have so much love to give that we naturally draw lovers towards us.
