Hard Choices

I run a mile every day no matter what.
This is a task I set myself long ago and I still am at it.
There is no end to this task. It is every day forever...
And this is not easy! It is hard! It is a hard choice that I make every day!

JFK said it well

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

What were the other things?

YOU are source supply is INFINITE

you are your own subjectivity
we are each trapped in our own subjectivity
there is no outside of it
it is complete and whole already
right now

but not trapped in a negative way, just really there... with no possibility of not being there...
eternal and real and yet entirely subjective

just look at what your subjectivity is and you will see that it is already infinite
there is no lack

thanks to Natalia

and understand that there is no other source for your subjectivity than your own subjectivity.
it is a miracle, a paradox, a blessing,
it is wonderful and beautiful

it is YOU
it is INFINITE

The Cure

there is no cure
and there's nothing to be cured
everything is just fine

some people are always looking for a cure
always looking for something that needs to be cured
let them
leave them alone

does the moon need to be cured?
does the sun need to be cured?
do the stars need to be cured?
are they sick?

sickness is imaginary
we have imagined it
and that is its only existence

Legs At The Beach

here is something artistic and beautiful from an old negative around the year 1926 at the beach in Santa Monica

I am not right

You are not wrong

I am not wrong

You are not right

Above is truth

below are lies

below is truth 

above are lies

gracefully dancing

falling twisted

the full range

the icy pallette

the million colors

the one clear light

all the same

when fragmented or together

inspired despair

to false love

to truth

lying on the flower bed

or lying to your face

still really one together

now and forever
