Great Quote from Total Recall

(the new version)

The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us. It fools us into believing it. But the heart wants to live in the present. Look there. You'll find your answer. 

Time

I'm a a little frustrated because I read a great image but it isn't written in a way to make a tidy quote. So, I have to paraphrase and I'm not sure I will do the idea justice. It comes from Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld book, Theif of Time. I guess it's a counterpoint to Death's Lifetimers, with each life flowing from the Past, through the pinch of Now into the Future. In the perspective of Time, there is no Past. It no longer exists. There is no Future. It doesn't exist, yet. There is only always, Now. Everything eternally destroyed and created. Always Now.

Inside my head

Graveside

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

- Mary Elizabeth Frye

You know how you stretch out on the sofa and drift between sleeping and waking?  Knowing what is going on around you but still floating in the dream?

Yeah.

Like that.

The deepest words 

of the wise man teach us

the same as the whistle of the wind when it blows

or the sound of the water when it is flowing.

It's all in your perspective

This is here. This is now.

My husband and I drove for 4 hours to come to his niece's wedding.   Tomorrow, she adds a whole crowd of people to her family.  And they are nice.  They are fun. I'm sure that they have all the crazy that families have, but right now they are celebrating this young couple who are planning to look after each other.  As are her family of origin.

Tonight and tomorrow, there is joy.

Don't Take Anything Personally.

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
