Been down so got damn long that it looks like up to me. - The Doors
She still making music? Saw her live twice in the early 00's."If you’re not getting happier as you get older
Then you’re f*ckin’ up"
If Yr Not by Ani DiFranco
The Sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older.
And one day closer to death.
Been down so got damn long that it looks like up to me. - The Doors
Indeed, the mystic path of surrender....................Embrace the suck.
Morrison stole that from Richard Farina:Been down so got damn long that it looks like up to me. - The Doors
Having survived some very bad times I can confidently say that unless you are very seriously ill this is absolutely not true.There is no 'better'.
Only vaguely recognized the name when I was dj'ing but I played a few of her more recent songs and she's good. That was a few years ago now though.If Yr Not by Ani DiFranco
Like most good aphorisms, it can have multiple meanings. I stole that one from the military but I studied Chinese Buddhism in college. It was always way beyond me. I'm on a new antidepressant and happily, I'm starting to see that.Indeed, the mystic path of surrender....................
Pretty close, the apple is what divides the world into things. When a squirrel enters my yard to eat of the olive tree, my cats start chittering and flicking their tails. Perhaps if you could focus like them you might experience only presence. There is no cat and squirrel, there is only awareness. Perhaps as a child you lay on the grass and experienced just being there? Nothing at all in the world has changed from then. Same sky same grass same potential to be there.And only found half a worm.
Of course I imagine the world to be only as I know it which means I don't know much at all, but I am very hopeful that the more we understand the chemistry of conscious awareness the more we will be able to help people who suffer. I would like to believe that all kinds of mental despair have a psychological origin but I don't know enough to have any real idea. There may in fact be genetic components to the chemistry of the brain that cause depression and it is wonderful that already advances have been made to help out many many people. I thank Zen for introducing to me the notion that why I believed I suffered wasn't the real problem. It caused me to focus on my assumptions. What I discovered in one small instant when my focus shifted from deep introspection to external awareness was that my problem with the fact that life is meaningless is as meaningless as everything else. It has nothing to do with anything.Only vaguely recognized the name when I was dj'ing but I played a few of her more recent songs and she's good. That was a few years ago now though.
