| luftspiegelung ::: Favorites 2007-08-01 05:46:04 Yeah, the universe is a bit smarter than we are- what a surprise!?... this is pretty lucky i guess, because if man would be smarter than the whole universe, man would become kinda claustrophobic and man would transform everything into numbers and colored paper (money), man would get caught in his own greedyness 3:@) The key is devotion. Realizing that we are all a part of some bigger world, some bigger natur than our small, cosy doll cabin is. And this is quite re-deeming, isnt it? __________________________________________________ | |

The ocean, the sky, the trees, the flowers, the animals, the gods are all within ourselfs, everything is vibrating in between outside and inside. A newborn baby and an unimaginable old man at the very same time:) Death and live at the very same time, dreaming and wakening at the very same time. __________________________________________________ | |
