"To travel is to live" - H. C. Andersen.

It's just a ride...

How come I feel like the driver's Bobby and the ticket lady is beijingcat? No idea where you'll end up and the kitty is there to holler for tickets and push you as she makes her way along the bus all day long.

Hi Tropical Fish,

Temp's in your aquarium dropping, are they?

A good friends of mine take on life...

Be Lost in the Call
By Jalal Al-Din Rumi

Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you create these two worlds?

Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart;
its darkened back, the world;
The back would please you if you've never seen the face.

Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw?
Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.

Until the juice ferments a while in the cask,
it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright,
you must do a little work.

My King addressed the soul of my flesh:
You return just as you left.
Where are the traces of my gifts?

We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold.
This Sun doesn't want a crown or robe from G*d's grace.
He is a hat to a hundred bald men,
a covering for ten who were naked.

Jesus sat humbly on the back of an ass, my child!
How could a zephyr ride an ass?
Spirit, find your way, in seeking lowness like a stream.
Reason, tread the path of selflessness into eternity.

Remember G*d so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call.

L.V.X. Thor
