Why we do what we do. Why all is as it is. Hunger/Creation/Desire...lower forms of Love... With only brief trips down to the pond the last couple days, i got a couple "snapshots." --- you know those views of events or expressions that seem to tell the "truth" or "story" about something or someone. One of them - i'll warn sensitive readers - (about the cray deaths in last post) may be disturbing. A big cray was atop another victim, apparently consuming the smaller creature. I assume this is because of the overpopulation of the pond, but it's not easy to see compassion in a crustacean. This gives more meaning to the pond work, but it's all a creative experiment - life is that is. I read - http://wikilivres.ca/wiki/An_Autobiography_or_The_Story_of_my_Experiments_with_Truth - by Gandhi - at an early age. As he continued and put all of himself to his cause - even losing his body - that is why he is truly a "Great Soul" and his experiment was a glorious truth....If we can be totally honest - we can admit to not knowing ---- let's say - more than we actually do know about what life is. Maybe the opposite is one thinking they know so much of the "Truth" that they have a right to injure, destroy or despise others. Most just believe what they were told - and behave as others do from their area. Some will give their lives or take other's for "their beliefs". It seems almost borne out of social needs, retaining culture, and needing to have an answer for what happens in the afterlife. If we have the courage - we can follow our own path of the heart. Life unfolds in wonder... Any birth on this amazing planet will eventually result in a death. The earth is called a "middle planet." Some can be experiencing like a heaven and others like a hell. Most move thru all experiences learning/gaining or suffering/losing... If our identity is the observer (the one who is residing IN the body)
, much becomes clear, and everything is learning/growing/remembering/Being. ----Oh yeah, the other snapshot was the many flowers - recovering,opening, and reaching/looking to the sky...
