everything is transient

2011-10-09T12:25:00.000+02:00

Few days ago my computer crashed - and all files from hard disk are gone. All my works, photos, manips... everything. Even if I have some backup files (need to check out), lot of recent works will be lost.
So, now I'm without camera and without computer... I can't do anything else at the moment than take a break from everything.
Everything is transient. Art also.

So... time to save some money for new hard disk and new camera... also, time to read, meditate, study, enjoy autumn days...
Sometimes the change is good.

And it's good not to be too much tied to material things. Everything will be gone sooner or later, even our physical body.

The more you become a part of society, the less and less you are an
individual, the less and less you are spontaneous -- because the very membership in the society will not allow you to be spontaneous. You will have to follow the rules of the game.

enlightenment

2011-09-18T13:00:00.000+02:00

We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.

- Terence McKenna

Remember who you are.
Remember that we are all part of the One.

What if you were unable to wake from that dream?

How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

‎"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.”

2010-11-06T17:47:00.002+01:00

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe

instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

by Neil Gaiman

Touch the wooden gate in the wall you never saw before,

Say ‘please’ before you open the latch,

go through,

walk down the path.

A red metal imp hangs from the green-painted front door,

as a knocker,

do not touch it; it will bite your fingers.

Walk through the house. Take nothing. Eat nothing.

However,

if any creature tells you that it hungers,

feed it.

If it tells you that it is dirty,

clean it.

If it cries to you that it hurts,

if you can,

ease its pain.

From the back garden you will be able to see the wild wood.

The deep well you walk past leads down to Winter’s realm;

There is another land at the bottom of it.

If you turn around here,

you can walk back, safely;

you will lose no face. I will think no less of you.

Once through the garden you will be in the wood.

The trees are old. Eyes peer from the undergrowth.

Beneath a twisted oak sits an old woman. She may ask for something;

give it to her. She

will point the way to the castle. Inside it

are three princesses.

Do not trust the youngest. Walk on.

In the clearing beyond the castle the twelve months sit about a fire,

warming their feet, exchanging tales.

They may do favours for you, if you are polite.

You may pick strawberries in December’s frost.

Trust the wolves, but do not tell them where you are going.

The river can be crossed by the ferry. The ferryman will take you.

(The answer to his question is this:

If he hands the oar to his passenger, he will be free to leave the boat.

Only tell him this from a safe distance.)

If an eagle gives you a feather, keep it safe.

Remember: that giants sleep too soundly; that

witches are often betrayed by their appetites;

dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always;

hearts can be well hidden,

and you betray them with your tongue.

Do not be jealous of your sister:

know that diamonds and roses

are as uncomfortable when they tumble from one’s lips as toads and frogs:

colder, too, and sharper, and they cut.

Remember your name.

Do not lose hope – what you seek will be found.

Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn.

Trust dreams.

Trust your heart, and trust your story.

When you come back, return the way you came.

Favours will be returned, debts be repaid.

Do not forget your manners.

Do not look back.

Ride the wise eagle (you shall not fall).

Ride the silver fish (you will not drown).

Ride the grey wolf (hold tightly to his fur).

There is a worm at the heart of the tower; that is why it will not stand.

When you reach the little house, the place your journey started,

you will recognise it, although it will seem much smaller than you remember.

Walk up the path, and through the garden gate you never saw before but once.

And then go home. Or make a home.

Or rest.

new horizons

2010-05-21T16:50:00.005+02:00

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

— Chris McCandless

"Tell me, whom do you love the most, you enigmatic man?

"I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother."
"Your friends?"
"There you use a word whose meaning until now has remained to me unknown."
"Your fatherland?"
"I am unaware in what latitude it lies."
"Beauty?"
"I would willingly love her, goddess and immortal."
"Gold?"
"I hate it as you hate God."
"So! Then what do you love, you extraordinary stranger?"
"I love clouds... drifting clouds... there... over there... marvelous clouds!"
