forgive, even if you cannot forget. Grievances stop us all from moving on. You now have a chance to gain freedom.

Yoda's proverb

"do or do not; there is no try."





Yoda's proverb from StarWars.

Cancer, Saturday, 16 July 2011

The molehill is absent one day, present the next. Not so, the mountain. The mountain is hard to climb and is snow-capped. Not so the molehill. I'm really not trying to insult your intelligence.I'm just pointing out that somewhere in your world, something very small is being perceived as if it were something very big. What lies behind this great leap of the imagination? An emotional trigger. Only a deep, profound mood or feeling can intoxicate the brain to the point where it confuses a set of signals that are obviously distinct and different. Get some perspective. Then cheer up.

My Latest Favorite Song

QUE SERA, SERA
Doris Day


When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher, "What will I try?
Should I paint pictures"
Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

When I grew up and fell in love.
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

Now I have Children of my own.
They ask their mother, "What will I be?"
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera!"





It was written by Jay Livingston
and Ray Evans for Alfred Hitchcock's
1956 re-make of his 1934 film
"The Man Who Knew Too Much" starring
Doris Day and
James Stewart.

The Camino de Santiago

Lena: (In Spanish) On the Camino, the baggage you carry is your fears.  Fears of getting sick, cold, wet....

Paloma: (In Spanish) Getting lost -

Lena: (In Spanish) Having a headache.


Lena: (In Spanish) And you learn something very curious, that you realy don't need everything in there.

From the trailer

In a flow

In a flow

I am in a flow

Since my mother’s water broke

I came into a flow of water

Sliding forward, slipping away on a journey

I am in a flow

Extend my arms to grab air

It is only a moment of gasp to realize

I am free to breathe

Clock ticking by my ears

Throw my hands to stop the rush

It is only a moment of scream to realize

There is not such thing called time

I am in a flow

Twist my legs to change the way

A force pushes it back

Relax, the curb is coming

I am marking a trail behind me

Not for you to follow: only for me to remind

My branches carrying on

I will go on in my flow

"The Blind Men and the Elephant"

John Godfrey Saxe's ( 1816-1887) version of the famous Indian legend:

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.

The First approach'd the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -"Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he,
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

MORAL.
So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!
