A star, lit up like a cigar.
Strung out like a guitar.
Maybe you can educate my mind.
Explain all these controls.
Can't sing but I've got soul.
The goal is elevation.
"When we come to see that everything we precieve and experience arises as a result of an indefinite series of interrelated causes and conditions, our whole perspective changes. We begin to see the universe we inhabit can be understood in terms of a living organism where each cell works in balanced cooperation with every other cell to sustain the whole. If then, just one of these cells is harmed, as when disease strikes, that balancce is harmed and there is danger to the whole. This, in turn suggests that our individual well-being is intimently connected both with that of all others and with the environment in which we live. It also becomes apparent that our every action, every deed, word, and thought, no matter how slight or inconsequential it may seem, has an implication not only for ourselves but for all others too..." - Dali Lama
Serve the Truth.....Defy The Lies....Meditate and Destroy!
May all beings meditate and destroy the causes of suffering in the forms of internal and external oppression and ignorance. And may the inner revolution bear the fruit of freedom you took birth to experience!
"Only the forgotten die.
Any fragment of memory, dream or ideal,
No matter how small or distant
Merely rests.
Regret is the aftertaste of a challenge.
Uncertainty, the chance to visit regret.
Faith, the ability to ignore uncertainty.
The past is what we've let go.
The present, our leftovers.
But the future is wild,
Free with the promise of our awakening."-Mike Fontana
"Sometimes believing is painful because the star that guides us true
is the same that burns out and destroys the hope within you.
And all those wishes you made on that star,
tattooed to your body, every hope and ideal, a scar.
What you have wasn't given, it was thoughtlessly decieved
and innocence was lost because you believed.
But there is no corruption you still see the light,
and the things you believe in were the things meant to guide,
so don't be afraid to continue.
You learn from experience and grow with the seasons
And the winds of change leave you stronger for reasons.
All that you believed, before all your doubts
proved your tears intent, and that's all that counts.
Sometimes we don't give to the people who deserve it,
Other times we share with those who'll abuse it.
But greater stars shine, and you still hold the sky
So embrace your beliefs, and kiss the rest good-bye."- Mike Fontana
"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."- Douglas Adams
"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."- Albert Einstein
