Chi thanks also for this thread

IO Storm · 07-01-2009, 12:52 AM

Thanks from me, too, Trish.

These are amazing.

Congrats on Part II

Aysha · 07-01-2009, 12:57 AM

Ok yall. I have asked one of my very talented friends to use some of her photos on this thread. She takes some amazing shots and I think they will compliment this thread alot. So any images with her name at the bottom are hers. They are truly awesome. Enjoy!

If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ''Here comes number seventy-one!''

awesome picture!! I can't wait to see more, and you're right...looks like they will definitely enhance your already wonderful inspirations.

However, throw in a few ocean scenes....I still love the ocean and have gotten used to seeing it

Hugs and prayers!

There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.

Mark Twain

Aysha · 07-03-2009, 02:08 PM

It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.

Confucius

IO Storm · 07-03-2009, 03:29 PM

So true! And, it doesn't have to be perfect, either.

Thanks Trish.

Alex Noble:
If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.

Rusty Zipper · 07-04-2009, 06:42 PM

well said alex

Aysha · 07-05-2009, 06:35 PM

Before, I was so stupid. But, you know, when you have friends who died on the street, you say, okay, let's calm down. It's not the kind of energy I want to have in life. I want to go slower, and longer.
Olivier Martinez

Aysha · 07-06-2009, 07:32 PM

A successful person is someone who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that are thrown at them. Use them as stepping stones.

Aysha · 07-07-2009, 07:31 AM

Carl Jung:
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.

“A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?”

Aysha · 07-09-2009, 07:50 PM

This is all I need to remember today.

Rusty Zipper · 07-09-2009, 08:39 PM

Not So Alone Again
by Sean Bowers aka Dharma Hooligan

Here again in this begrudged sense of self pity

I want to write your love song

I want to write about all things in the world

about the "system"

about the "man"

about the "peoples struggle"

and how wonderful I am for noticing someone other than myself

I want to write about the beauty of a woman

As seen through the reflection on the T window

and how if everything in my head would just shut up

I could tell you her name

I want to write about a generation of mad men

To feel a sense of kinship

I could tell you about all their idiosyncrasies

and how they define all that I am

I want to write about childhood memories

of fishing the Metoliouis with my father and my fathers father

and the first time I caught a fish with a Snoopy pole

and how spiritual it was

I want to write about how San Fransisco rain

feels on the face of a 15 year old boy

having just discovered crystal meth and punk rock

I want to write about the pride of an intellectual street thug

and how street cred means more

than anything your angry God has to offer

I want to write about the crushing defeat

of divorce

and how heroin, booze, and violence the only medication

I want to write about how the lines wrote in lust

translated as "love"

leaving a whole decade of children empty

I want to write about a community of strangers

I didn't know two days ago

whom I now love

Thank you Dharma Punx

and not so Dharma Punx

Now my family

now my friends

Always my sangha

For you I put my pen down

and sit with you in joy.
