Life is a series of natural and
spontaneous changes. Don't resist them -
that only creates sorrow. Let reality
be reality. Let things flow
naturally forward in whatever way they like.
~*Lao-Tzu*~
The world is a drought when out of love.
~*Brandon Boyd*~
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples, no complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple. The philosophy is kindness.
~*Dalai Lama*~
The modern picture of the artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldn't see, to be high, live low, stay young forever -- in short, to be the bohemian.
~*Tom Wolfe*~
Walk barefoot
Feel the sand between
your toes,
and the living grass.
The warmth of the sun
on the road.
Connect with the earth.
Feel the different textures.
Enliven your senses.
Savour the freedom.
Adopt the pace of nature:
her secret is patience.
~*Ralph Waldo Emerson*~
May there be goodness for those who know the Earth to be sacred.
~*Dalai Lama*~
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders across the stars...
~*Jack Kerouac*~
Sounds of laughter
shades of earth
Are ringing through
my open ears
Inciting and inviting me

Which shines around me
like a million suns

There is a peace
in every one of us.
A love unconditional.
Built from the beat,
shown through our dance.
A brother with a smile,
a sister with a groove.
Open your heart,
let the vibe take you.
A deeper love,
never explored.
Open your mind,
close your eyes.
Hold on to the vibe,
let go of the rest.
If you love you belong.
If you dance you love.
If you love you belong.
Electric ties,
we dance together.
As one.

ANYTHING Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Jack Black, Quentin Tarentino, Kevin Smith, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, or Jim Carrey. I find that I can rarely go wrong with any of them. There are certainly more... oh, and I love me some Bruce Willis. Yum!!
I absolutely love documentaries, cultural, environmental and historical films... and old horror movies. You can't beat Hitchcock. Old (like 1950's and earlier) Disney, and 80's cartoon movies! And thanks to my husband, I now appreciate a good western.
Way too many more to list... Anything with an intelligent twist, or can make me laugh until i pee myself... or actually scares me. ;)
I ♥ a good movie.
Ok, so yes television is the root of all evil... blah blah blah... but I still have some shows that I adore!

And in spite of all the mastery we’ve attained, we don’t have enough mastery to stop devastating the world – or to repair the devastation we’ve already wrought...

We have become a nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world - a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us... no redeeming social value. Just WHORES. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you.

Eccentric geniouses, club kids, those who fully embace positivity...
who can laugh at themselves,
who care enough to never litter,
who live and let live,
who love and let love,
who reduce, reuse and recycle,
who always find time for a hug,
who plant and cultivate the earth,
who practice what they preach,
who give peace a chance,
who make smiling a priority,
who create any kind of art,
who do for others just because,
who pay random compliments,
who always seek out the good,
who speak out against hate,
who live by the golden rule,
who forgive wholeheartedly,
who reach out and understand when it's undeserved,
who teach that love is never wrong,
who walk in someone else's shoes,
who do not take life seriously,
who never give up hope for happiness.
