i love cooking. chewing on fresh spices. The Bus. north shore. riding kamehameha highway. summer sun that never sets. writing; though it all goes to waste. singing out loud--head through window--all hours of the day. dancing myself exhausted. reading. currently being seduced by several authors. dreaming; both the conscious and the unconscious kind. i spend my days among the sick and pretentious, learning how to heal. i'm picky about friends and lovers, but i love the ones i pick. i am an enfp hermit. but if anything, i am a woman.
"Life is short, and it is sinful to waste one's time. They say I'm active. But being active is still wasting one's time, if in doing one loses oneself. Today is a resting time, and my heart goes off in search of itself. If an anguish still clutches me, it's when I feel this impalpable moment slip through my fingers like quicksilver. Let those who wish to turn their backs upon the world. I have nothing to complain of, since I can see myself being born. At the moment, my whole kingdom is of this world. This sun and these shadows, this warmth and this cold rising from the depths of the air: why wonder if something is dying or if men suffer, since everything is written on this window where the sun sheds its plenty as a greeting to my pity? I can say and in a moment i shall say that what counts is to be human and simple. No, what counts is to be true, and then everything fits in, humanity and simplicity. When am I truer than when I am the world? My cup brims over berfore I have time to desire. Eternity is there and I was hoping for it. What I wish for now is no longer happiness but simply awareness."
A. Camus -The Wrong Side and the Right Side-
"The presence of thoughts is more important than our subjective judgment of them."
C.G. Jung -Memories, Dreams, Reflections-
I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering"
Steven Wright
"To transcend the material world (and thus gain insight into the essence of things), to transcend the senses (and thus gain knowledge of the soul), to transcend the ego (and thus feel united with all creation), to transcend even time (and thus feel the force of past lives and prophecies): these are the lofty goals of the sage, and in their heart of hearts all Idealists honor this quest."
David Keirsey
"As the eye to the sun, so the soul corresponds to God.

With a truly tragic delusion these theologians fail to see that it is not a matter of proving the existence of the light, but of blind people who do not know that their eyes could see. It is high time we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to teach people the art of seeing."
C.G. Jung -Psychology & Alchemy-
"No doubt, when modesty was made a virtue, it was a very advantageous thing for the fools; for everybody is expected to speak of himself as if he were one. This is levelling down indeed! for it comes to look as if there were nothing but fools in the world."
Schopenhauer -Parerga & Paralipomena-
"What inspires respect for woman, and often enough even fear, is her nature, which is more "natural" than man's, the genuine, cunning suppleness of a beast of prey, the tiger's claw under the glove, the naïveté of her egoism, her uneducability and inner wildness, the incomprehensibility, scope, and movement of her desires and virtues."
Nietzsche -Beyond Good & Evil-
"The task is endless, it's true. But we are here to pursue it. I do not have enough faith in reason to subscribe to a belief in progress or to any philosophy of history. I do believe at least that man's awareness of his destiny has never ceased to advance. We have not overcome our condition, and yet we know it better. We know that we live in contradiction and do what is needed to reduce it. Our task as men is to find the few principles that will calm the infinite anguish of free souls. We must mend what has been torn apart, make justice imaginable again in a world so obviously unjust, give happiness a meaning once more to people poisoned by the misery of the century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But superhuman is the term for tasks men take a long time to accomplish, that's all."
A. Camus -The Almond Trees-
