DOLPHIN WAVE...

Dream Journal #3: Its dolphins time...such beauty only found in dreams...dreamt of a pod of dolphins circling together with some ferocious sharks....I was standing at the edge of a wooden platform and somehow had to cross over to the other side. One dolphin beckoned me to come join them and "invited" me to hop on the biggest one...Alamak I was thinking I'm so heavy definitely have to be the biggest one to take my weight..lol...The sharks were circling menacingly but the dolphins assured that all was aye ok.. So hop on I did...wat a ride! ...they rode the waves for a while and then dived down deeper into the ocean where many shimmering things lie waiting...including beautiful sacred geometry shapes formed by the reflection of the sun in the ocean and beautiful dolphin language.... amazing stuff.

There was a tiny dolphin emerging from its mother and what a special moment to be able to witness a dolphin birth amongst them...the baby dolphin was free and lingered around the mummy dolphin for awhile before its mother nudged the baby into my arms....what sheer joy! Am in dolphin heaven! unforgettable...

Soundwaves from Whales & Dolphins are extremely healing and here are some special moments with the ancient ones from millions of years ago...Also had the fortune to meet Patricia Athena, the founder of Dolphin Wave Research when she came to S'pore for a Dolphin/KwanYin healing workshop last year(healing for the earth, self & others). Strong vibrational energy work indeed. She is a firm believer of the healing power of the Native Americans and had a wealth of knowledge to share. A rare soul I have met. Gave her a little silver KwanYin amulet & am glad she loved it...something to remember me by....She said dreams of dolphins signify a bridge between the unconsious and conscious mind and to reconnect with our inner peace, joy and bliss within our hearts to bring about greater healing. Hope to see her again real soon...

~Dreams of Dolphins..... timeless

"In the end, life will seem like one long nights dream with all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter & spicy experiences but still only one night's dream..." the next dream will only get better..

BUTTERFLY KISSES

~snapshot of my butterfly drying its wings in the sun
before it said goodbye and took off.....

Butterflies shimmering in the darkness
Under silent whispers of scented willows
Tassles fluttering with the passage of time
Tales of love to keep me safe at night
Everlasting hugs from Daddy
Real as butterfly kisses
Floating in the morning breeze
Lets go...our secret sanctuary lie waiting
Yesterdays mystery unfolds...

Butterflies are always seen as symbols of joy and happiness...even one friend once told me that butterflies carry wishes to heaven to be granted! Always loved them butterflies since Daddy took me to the Butterfly park @ Sentosa when i was just this tall...*points up to the waist*...so magical when butterflies lands on top of yer head, on your arms..shoulder and hands...constant source of enchantment till this day. Love to save em caterpillars from the birds and keep them in the mini fish tanks..feed them lime leaves, watch them grow...and let them go when they break open and fly away as butterflies...simple kind of magic...they say whenever a butterfly is born, another child's wishes come true....

Big Black butteflies are also almost always present at funeral wakes..as if telling the relatives that everything is ok. The beauty of butterflies stems from its rich spirituality and mystery. I know i have been trying to piece together this 100,000 pieces jigsaw puzzle called life and every piece brings me one step closer to completion. Its tedious job ..slowly but surely...its definitely not the destination but the process of piecing it all together...thats all worth it when its completed...and will take a giant step back and look back in wonder when its all done..

I know whatever I have expressed here seems profound & deep to some and sheer nonsense to others but i guess ultimately I'm a drama mama and just have to answer to myself and listen to my heart as this little soul's journey is just that...to heal and release myself from fear and restlessness stemming from fear...there is no more fear...when the butterfly is released from its cocoon...very symbolic..a natural state of peace that is with me and within me at all times...

Butterflies will always always have a special place in my heart... this song's for Daddy..i will always be Daddy's little girl.....


Daddy's love...everlasting...

BREAK THRU THE SILENCE

Break thru the silence of the heart
Reality sets the dawn of new beginnings
Every which way the airborne steed goes
Avenues of broken lies and beds of nails
Keep the faith on pegasus's wings
~
Time is not the quintessential essence
Holding on to the unicorns secret
Rest my weary head on angel's wings
Undeclinable magic o'er the compassionate fool

BREAK THRU & BREAK FREE...

"undiscovered talent..." pure magic

Silence ...keeping still and silent. Is it really possible in this noise polluted and confused world? Thousand and one thoughts assail us from every direction...is it possible to be without sound even for a second? ..Refusal to speak is not it....escaping and keeping mum can't solve the problem...but beautiful silence...living without being...incredible peace and joy of freedom....without senses....soar away..!

Went for lunchie today with an ex classmate @ Upper Circular Road...bestest Lor Mee in town! The LorMee @ Amoy Street Market also equally good! Have to wait up to half an hour at times...but well worth the wait! Shiok Chunky crispy fish and the chilli is powerful too!! hahaha...YUMMIE!....Just tucked in when the rain came! arghhh..everyone rushed for shelter inside ...rushed to save their precious lormee from the rain...strong wind blew..even the huge umbrella swayed with such force....actually lormee taste even better now in this weather.. .:O)

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW....

BEAUTIFUL SONG MERGED WITH CLIPS FROM THE MOVIE "LITTLE BUDDHA"..simply beautiful..don't u agree?

"Idha Nandati, pecca nandati. Katapunno ubhayattha nandati. Punnam me katanti nandati; bhiyyo nandati suggatim gato." ~ "Here he is HAPPY, hereafter he is HAPPY. In both states the well doer is HAPPY. Good have i done, thinking thus, he is HAPPY. Furthermore is he HAPPY, having gone to a blissful state." Dharmapada 18

Some songs really reflect a persons mood at a certain period in their lives...and words cannot fully describe the moment of deep satisfaction from just hearing a few mere words......

SOMEWHERE....

Somewhere only we know

Oneness of existence

Mindstreams of calm and peace abiding

Every pain and suffering accepting as my own

Where peacocks roam ..poisionous snakes abound

Happy are they who dwell among bodhisattvas

Everlasting empathy of the soul no less

Rare is this precious birth

Experience the bliss from the depth of your heart...O beautiful Gem!!...

~~~

Have a great week ahead buddies!

~With metta, PEACE Outz..

CHILDHOOD..BEAUTIFUL PERFECTION

The annual spring cleaning is here...time to clear out the cobwebs to usher in the Lunar New Year! Was clearing junk from the old chinese cabinet last night and found so many old faded photographs of years gone by...photos r faded but not the memories..they still live on...funny how some photographs can evoke such strong emotions of happiness, tears of joy and pain, sorrow and laughter....streams of suspended memories....

I had a wonderful childhood nothing to complain ..always brought to wonderful places and travelled to beautiful places like Bangkok, Australia and many many more...Of course the zoo still holds many fond memories for all of us needless to say. Like the nursery song that goes " Daddy's bringing us to the zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow zoo tomorrow, we're gonna stay all day..." Oh what joy...simple fun..Joy to the world ..all the boys and girls..joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea..joy to U & ME~!

CHILDREN
Children of Innocence born from lotuses we pray
Holy ascended Masters from 3 lifetimes hear us
Inexhaustible karma from beginingless times O purify them
Leave our tears behind and fill us with an ocean of Bliss!
Dear fathers and mothers of true wisdom & compassion
Rain showers of blessings on our body, speech & mind
Ever present to protect us from demons within and without
Never let us be separated from the triple gems till samsara ends we pray!
~~~

I luved swimming when i was a kid..my dad used to bring me
to the Queenstown Swimming Complex without fail every weekend..come rain or shine....you can tell by the looks on my face ya..hahaa..

Best times of my life...no cares in the world..what innocence ..the nature of a small child..Innocence is within, deep inside? Dive deeper into rediscovery ...whats at the bottom of the swimming pool??? Nothing but cracked tiles and gold rings.. Rediscover the child within? Seems that the joy and wonder have been long gone replaced by pain and suffering...what if? what if all these are reversed?

Seems as if I have suddenly remembered something I've truly forgotten for a long time...Spending time with children taught me to believe , to play and to love without agenda. The only hidden agenda is LOVE? Children swiftly makes me truly smile from my heart and see the wonder....when the heart listens, the Angels sing...they teach us how to live, teach us how to love, teach us with the light of love...
My favourite bike! ...luved cycling up and down the corridors ....>>>>
Don't snatch my bike..I BITE!....hahahaa.now the corridors r not big enough for me...ahhahaa
As kids, we didn't have any ego the size of an african elephant, no attachments...except to mummy's breasts maybe...hehe...no preconceived notions....can this be it? Getting back to the basics..back to our original nature of innocence..return to the perfected seed...hmmm..i wonder..even an ugly demon will turn into almond pudding in the face of an innocent child with a pair of doe-like eyes...let the shackles of ego-binded chains be free..absolutely pure, pure absolut..not the Vodka..:O)...slip away

All kids are beautiful.... look back into the past...see the future? behold the rainbow..blooming lotus...is this it? the miracle of Love?? become little children all over again? Remember this verse from school.."become little children and enter the kingdom of heaven"...oh..the return to innocence...

Oh my sleeping child, the world so wild..but you build your own paradise..Paradise here on earth...


~AWAKEN THE SLEEPING CHILD. HAPPY indeed they live...like a moon free from dark clouds..
*with metta.....peace out..

DREAM WEAVER

Life is nothing but a dream??

Dreams what mystery to behold
Rising and setting sure as the sun
Every reflection of the mind @ rest
Atoms of impermanence
Memories of another dimension
Spell breaks, still not awake!

Dream Journal #2: Dreaming in the lotus again...getting weirder by the moment...a large hall filled with hundreds of people attending a blessing ceremony at a monastery. Squinted and saw HH Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama at the front on the throne with a long queue forming in front of him....people offering khatas (white silk scarves) for blessings....suddenly the dream switches to me fighting off a huge horrifying horrendously ugly monster..mind concentration ... both using lots of weird hand mudras to fight each other off..grrrrr....*get off my back*!!.....I Asked the darn monster "What do you want from me???"....The darn monster replied "I have been waiting for YOU!!!"..arghhhhh...wanted light to emit from the fingers and it did....what the..... the horrendously ugly monster fell and changed into a cute little gurgling baby....sitting in an opened bag...with fresh pink and white lotus flowers petals scattered all around.....grrrr....subconsiously releasing energy blockages? unleash the "demons".....Am i the demon or the demon is ME!?

Back to the blessing ceremony.....i was filled with so much joy upon seeing HH the 14th Dalai Lama..as if I've waited for this very moment my whole life.! ..Glanced upon a framed picture on the wall....oh my god..saw the reflection on the glass ....i WAS a MAN...! ..hahaa..and a very handsome one ...a little like the handsome prince in SHREK..with sharp features and high cheekbones....enough of self admiration already! ahahaa..oh its my turn now..i took the Katha offered it to His Holiness and he whispered a prayer and gave it back to me..put it around my neck....then he looked at me and said "PLEASE CONCENTRATE, FOCUS! BE SERIOUS!!!"..and broke into the heartiest of laughter.....

I humbly bowed and put my palms together and nodded.

Scene change: alot of lamas whispering to each other pointing in one direction...all eyes in that direction....one lama carried a baby wrapped in many layers of white katha and shoved the precious baby into my arms...he said..TAKE him and protect him even at the cost of your life! the rest of them nodded and said to me "YOU UNDERSTAND???!!!". I nodded back...bewildered... what was i supposed to do with the baby????

Recitation of the long life Prayer for His Holiness followed, the last atoms of the beautiful sand mandala cut away ....leaving nothing behind...million of sand grains carried away....

what phenomena ...dreams....Wake up Wake up Wake up!

*ALARM rings...OMG it's nine thirty am...gonna be late for work....runs like the wind....

"Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion." His Holiness The XIV Dalai Lama

BUY A PATCHWORK TO SUPPORT THE ELDERLY

This Chinese New Year, please support the Bukit Merah Old Folks Club in its Charity Patchwork initiative.

Especially hand-stitched by the elderly, these beautiful pieces of patchwork are sold at a special fund-raising flea market. All proceeds will be channelled back to the Old Folks Club.

Come on down to Block 79, Redhill Square OPEN AREA on 27 January (from 12pm to 1.30pm) to purchase your very own patchwork QUILT and do your part for charity!

Help to spread some festive cheer this Chinese New Year and do your part for the less fortunate this festive season! See you there! :O) Call Christine @ Tel:9636-9889 for more information.

One Rinpoche once said that even if people give just one cent, they should have this motivation of putting this drop of water into the ocean where it will not dry up. A drop of water on its own will dry up easily, but if you put it in the ocean, it doesn't dry up. Whatever their contribution is, however small their contribution, it will still benefit others. So no tiny drop will ever be lost in the big blue ocean...;O)

On a lighter note, what is really mind and matter?If you don't mind it doesn't matter..haha :O) I defnitely don't mind that new Prosperity Pizza with double stuffed crust to go with that bottle of Archipelago Brown Ale! YUMMIE...Cheers..

LITTLE FROG TO BEAT THE MONDAY BLUES!!

There is a story about a little frog that would not quit. There once was a bunch of tiny frogs, who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd of frogs gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants. The race began and the spectators voiced their doubts such as "Oh, way too difficult!"; They will never make it to the top"; Not a chance that they will succeed. The Tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one...Except for those who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher. The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult! No one will make it!" More tiny frogs got tired and gave up.

But one continued higher and higher and higher. He would not give up! At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top. Then all the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out that the winner was deaf!

The wisdom of this story is: Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic because we have to walk our own path in life. Whether it is an easy or difficult path, we have to walk it ourselves. If we receive encouragement and support from others, we should always cherish it in our hearts and in turn help others. If we all hear is critism and gossip, don't be too sad, just learn from the little frog that would NOT QUIT!
the cutest craziest froggie song ever

SAKYANT!! ~SPIRITUAL TATTOOS

Just accompanied my friend to have a spiritual tattoo done by His Holiness Lama Kunchok Tenpi Gyaltsen (Venerable Luang Phor Intavanno) recently.. beautiful+powerful.better than just normal ordinary tattoos... she simply loved it! you can see why.. :O)

This Scorpion Sakyant was personalized just for her to remove the bad elements, soften the effect of her planet clashes & for protection... The word "Sak" - means tattoo, and "Yant" - means "Yantra"..The Thai people strongly believe that these spiritual tattoos have mysterious powers to protect the bearer.

His Holiness Lama Kunchok Tenpi Gyaltsen (Venerable Luang Phor Intavanno) is a very approachable guru and he is always ready to help anyone with problems and advise them accordingly. He is always very caring towards his disciples and devotees. His compassionate and caring nature also makes us very comfortable & at ease when sharing our problems and inner most secrets with him. Luang Phor Intavanno is a very wise Guru with great understanding and knowledge in not only Buddhism but also in Christianity, Hinduism and Islamic teachings. More about the Biography of His Holiness Lama Kunchok Tenpi Gyaltsen >>http://www.gemsofthehermits.com/index.html

His Holiness is often regarded as a fatherly figure as well as the greatest pal to many of his followers. A very open minded and easy going teacher that emphasize a lot on the doing of good merits. Through disciples and followers of his Holiness we learn that this great Venerable is also a great motivator to all and always uses himself to set a good example to others. This page is specially dedicated to His Holiness and to all who require his blessings. I hope through this page, many hearts can be touched by His Holiness Lama Kunchok Tenpi Gyaltsen and many more can be blessed.

Luang Phor Intavanno often reminds us not to be disheartened over a minor setback. Along the way, it is natural for one to encounter some difficulties, problems & obstacles in life. Why not treat them as challenges and with prolonged effort, your good virtues and with the right attitude and approach, you will resolve your hurdles. He also often advises his followers and devotees to do merits with sincerity and not to be complacent about it.

The most powerful and popular Sanskrit tattoos that are done by Luang Phor are the Yant Gaoyord, Yant Jinjor Maharakroy, Yant Salika, Yant Lingtong Salika and his Yant Nametta (Yant Putasorn-photo on left).

Anyone considering doing one can drop me an email (fatmama88@gmail.com) or call 8157-5109 (please call after 2pm) to fix an appointment or drop by Blk 551 Bedok North Street 3 #01-540 to view many other handmade amulets by Luang Phor. Consultation and Sakyant Strictly by appointments only.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF NATURE

"One’s own view of reality as the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions." – Paul Watzlawick

Check out the cow on the left! it works like MAGIC !! Yeah what you see isn't always what you get...our minds are really both the canvas and the artist...! It really HITS you and turns YOU around...be constantly deceived...

that will even spoil the pleasure of those watching the game...
"The ugliness we see in others is a reflection of our own nature...
Time heals all wounds
Letting Go Bit by Bit
Like a butterfly emerging from
The darkness into the healing light
And the warmth of the sun
Echoing the quest for
Answers and evolution
Listen to the voice of nature
Like a moonlight shadow
Be carried away....

Yes. Time heals all wounds...the storm passes. What has caused me to burst into tears will soon be gone like the pollen in the wind. All a waste of precious time and energy to habour resentment or get angry with someone. After some time, cannot even remember what triggered it in the first place! Have learnt to let all these negativities come and go like a passing fart...nothing to hold on to...:O) worry & anger dries up blood faster than aging...!

Even that plate of fried carrot cake of also count as an optical illusion ...i keep saying nonono its not possible that its 1000 calories!! i see it as only 100 calories..minus the oiL....One of the BEST if not THE BEST fried carrot cake can be found at Blk 4A Jalan Batu Hawker Centre/Market.. This jovial lady makes her own carrot cake in trays and everything will be gone at 10AM...! So better hurry!


Constantly tossed & turned (like fried carrot cake) in every possible direction, I pray for peace in the dark night of my souL...

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL...

*perfect comforting voice..no less..never fail to get dreamy & swept away everytime..

"Angels are beings of Light...Humans are beings of LOVE.."..

Messengers of great power and mystery since beginningless times..there are certainly angels amongst us..protecting, comforting those in times of great need & times of loss..Our encounters with them always manifest when we seriously need them and not for the sheer fun of it..It seems Angels helps us all to discover our higher self for our greater good...Its comforting to know that we all have our own personal guardian Angel present with us since the moment of our inception..constantly inspiring, guiding, protecting us from harm...the "watchers who never sleep"..

So many people around the world have reported personal encounters and sightings of Angels that even skeptics are convinced that they do exist..and how the feathered people have changed lives dramatically..Walk around Borders or MPH and one gets mystified with the amount of literature soley dedicted to these winged ones..Used to like this TV series "Touched By An Angel" ...http://www.touched.com/touched05/index.php

....but cannot make them the central focus of your life else they get big headed..lol.

Heard so many stories from friends about their personal story from the angel circle gatherings many years back and visitations of the heavenly kind are nothing short of a miracle. Some brought along their precious Angel feathers as proof of their mystical existence..kids of all ages are also constantly entralled by them...you can always hear them at Toys R Us.."Mummy mummy i want that Angel Costume!"... they never cease to amaze..

Angels in my life
Never tired of whispering
Giving little flutters in the wind
Existence ever so sweet
Lavender clouds across the sky

Showering me with peace and tranquility ~ANGEL MIST

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. *Hebrews 13:2

ANGEL CLOUDS...see anything?? hehe

~Time is short, the music won't last...be an angel today! heh

SINGAPORE CRAWLERS

What a funky invitation card to the launch of Singapore's first ever historical pub walk...! tickles the funny bone . A familiar scene along the singapore river..cool soft breezes blowing, couples locked in arms, a swig or two with a couple of chums...a typical night out along the historical river.

To my friends who are overseas, this stretch along the singapore river brings u to another kinda journey ..of the senses...hahaa..just make sure u don't fall into the singapore river and add to the pollution after one drink too many! ;o)..mother of all headaches! .i am sailing....i am flying like a bird across the skies...passing high clouds, to be near a pub to be free?
Mother of all BUTTS!!!>>

GLASS & STEEL

"The hammer that breaks glass can shape steel. It is up to us to be shattered glass or steel."

Give the little dewdrops
Love to last a lifetime
Affection
Senerity
Soothing Angels caresses
+
Sadness and sorrow
Total darkness of the heart
Echoes through the silence
Endless whispers in heaven
Love the little cherbic child

It's sad to see little kids being abused and especially so when we cannot do anything about it. Just witnessed a neighbour's kid getting canned repeatedly in the lift without the slightest provovation recently and another time burnt with the end of a cigarette butt...This heartbreaking scene really make me wonder what is going through her little mind at that moment. Something which will scar her for life definitely. I noticed that she already has many old cane-marks on her little legs...such cruelty can hardly be ignored..

Sometimes I really wish I could volunteer my time to befriend children that are abused so that they will not suffer any long term effects of any sort...but do not have the right training...never too late to start.. Volunteering for a good cause..merits gained more than all the grains in the padi field...joy money cannot buy..

I believe all of us have been caned or whacked by parents at least once when we were naughty as kids back then but constant abuse is something of a different matter altogether.

LOOKING THRU THE EYES OF LOVE

"And now I do believe, that even in a storm, we'll find some light; Knowin' you're beside me, I'm alright. "...nice song by Melissa Manchester on the radio...every word in a song can be a source of inspiration to let the words flow.
The sound of my soul
Like fleeting clouds through an empty sky
Glimpse of eternity
Through the eye of the storm


Its a case of now you see it now you don't...so beautiful yet nothing lasts forever....but everything's still beautiful if we look through the eyes of love, loving kindness and an open heart. Turn flaming sharp arrows from enemies into sweet smelling flower buds...true beauty of life...

"Time lapse clouds set to an excerpt from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb"

SUSHI ENLIGHTENMENT

Enlightenment...The buzzword everyone's talking about..many say it is just BLISS....being in the moment, seeing things in a different perspective, reality as it is, mind/soul fusion, ultimate state of consciousness etc etc....what then is the correct alignment? Everyone is constantly evolving spiritually...just as is the cosmos is constantly in motion...the universe is also transforming itself over time...Some people say this impulse to evolve will see 1/1000 of the world's population getting enlightened by 2012! 4 more years to reach the blessed age?...wonder if that missing last piece of the jigsaw puzzle will fit eventually...What do I see??? I only see the sushi jumbo set....;o)..and the cup of slurpee floating by... *catch* All is perfect in the here and now...

What we encounter, what we feel, what we think, are only all signposts? markers to reveal our exact location? In this quest for perfection, I have been sprinting in the wrong direction! Found the golden compass to get the bearings right else the pattern repeats again... have to re-play this game of chess well...only time will tell..

This life sentence with no possibility of parole have to be stopped..caused by my own delusion..the solution is in my hands..I have to change my attitude cuz the problem is never out there..it is always in here..always have been..

Wishing everyone a great week ahead! May all beings BE HAPPY!

Endlessly unfolding
He is eternal
Never born, never died
I am nothing
Behold the beauty
Raindrops falling into the ocean
The cycle repeats again and again
Just once more
There is nothing more to want...Fall away...

"The miracle is that the buddha got there following a heart as human as yours and mine and just as vulnerable".the greatest story ever told....true inspiration on this journey of awakening...

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY!

ITS THE WEEKEND...HAVE FUN!

LAUGH & THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH U....

"Laugh and the world laughs with you...cry and you cry alone"....my dad's favourite quote...yah, guess if i lived each day in laughter, cleansed of yesterdays dust, then the rainbow will be back with a vengence...it will always be as magical as the first time i saw it... also to always remind myself to be as Happy as Muttley..laugh at everything that happens..always giggling at his master Dastardly..oh luv that snickering mutt to death!

Laughter breaks the icy cold winds around pple..laughter really may be the best medicine; whoa some even say a laff a day can boost immunity..hehee...

Spending the weekend at my maternal grandmas place..she is 82yrs old this year but still young at heart...she always make me laugh..would also wanna make her happy and cherish precious moments with her....time is not on her side...but i constantly pray for her to have long life...bought chinatown yuji mian for her and glad she enjoyed every bite of it...such is the simple joys in life...

I believe she has seen more in life then anyone else in the family had and she often tells me not to give up until the results are achieved...and to BE HAPPY!...and she also often talked about the pointlessness of of collecting too many unneccesary things cos we cannot bring everything along when we die....letting go seems easier with age...i often ask myself if I were to completely let go of everything i hv this moment, would it even be possible? i guess when i let go, my heart & mind will become lighter and easier to deal with worldly matters & spiritual pursuits...

"It takes spiritual effort to laugh the trivial things in life away. Life is a joke, but a serious joke! A difficult joke that has to be "caught" to be felt funny. Sometimes, the lessons learnt send us rip-tickling... But one day, with enough effort, we shall all smile gently like the Buddha."..the wake up call often comes in the form of the cruelest of jokes...but who gets the last laugh...?

peace begins with a smile, a tickle and a laugh?

BLESSINGS

"Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, even so let him cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings." ~Dharmapada ..

TGIF! Another week has gently slipped away...there is never enough time in a day with so many things to do...36hrs would probably suffice..I make some effort to give people what they want but I say "Enough on the war already!" Many others tell me thanks for trying...i say keep the faith...I have been too hard on myself...wruffle up a few feathers...join the gang...stay away...bird fight...can't please everyone... just have to keep reminding myself of that magic number 4, 8.and 10..not by sesame street tho..

Suddenly thought of that song "But it's alright now I learned my lesson well You see you can't please everyone so you gotta please yourself"....Thich Nhat Hanh, a well known Vietnamese monk also once said, "It is not so important whether you walk on water or in space, the true miracle is to walk on earth." becoming a kind human being is just so difficult..its not a garden party everyday...but I can only BE HAPPY and never explain myself to anyone cuz the person who likes me doesnt need it and the person who dislikes me wouldnt believe it anyway..so save the crap....win some loose some....wish everyone lotta luck anyways..

Simple image but an inspiration to many...sometimes its so difficult to understand whats happening in the here and now?...all experiences in this humble quest...the road is long...haffta strive on....I cannot do much but I try my best thru the kindness of the guru...so much blessings..it calms the heart..:O) the path to eternal bliss is a long and winding road...


Blessings from up above
Love makes things happen
Escapism missed his mark..
Sound of Solace
Soon as I get home,
Image of obsessions...
Never had nothing
Given a second chance
See the light...

OLD MAN IN A CAVE

"Sweet dreams are made of these..who am I to disagree..Travel the world and the 7 seas..Everybody's looking for something..Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused"....favourite song from Eurythmics...only in dreams...only in dreams...

Dream Journal #1: Dreamt of an old man in a cave last night..it was the weirdest of dreams...the dark dark cave was illuminated by a hole in the roof ..sounds of trickling water could be heard..ancient vines twisted in every direction...the cave was cold and dusty..but the energy around the old man was filled with such warmth....the old man spoke with an inner calmness...such beauty and moments such as these can only be seen in dreams...There were rows and rows of pictures of monks in saffron robes, statues of various sizes and many crevices held the weirdest of items., masks, swords and incense...seems like a sacred place...a big white tiger was walking about...not bothering anyone..

He spoke like a wise old man but with piercing firey eyes and he looked so frail, a sneeze could break every bone in his body...this seems to be a recurrent dream......did 3 prostrations and knelt down in front of him. The energy was intense...the conversation went on and on..speaking in an unknown language...but i seem to have understood every word....dreams touch every core of our being, yet they are only just that dreams..but somehow there seems to be an inner healing and spiritual dreams always leave me feeling loved unconditionally...dreams make me ponder what is the purpose and real meaning in life...I often wake up feeling inspired to do more

and suddenly water gushed in from the entrance and the old man commanded me to leave the inner chamber and help others who are trapped outside...i ran out and saw many people running for their lives!...the muddy water was everywhere....increasing with speed.....what am I to do?? Can't save everyone...everyone was reaching for higher grounds..heard the old man saying "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!" from beyond...

*the alarm rings*....

Saffron robes flowing

A second glance

Here's to the past glowing

Show 'em the ropes

inner light illuminating

silence paves the way....
