The truth of suffering We suffer. Life is neither all good or all bad. We Suffer. The truth of the cause of suffering We suffer because we are attached to how life exists, we are attached to life coming out a particular way, to suit us. When we don’t get that, we suffer. The truth of the end of suffering In order to reduce our suffering, we must reduce our attachment to outcomes, to patterns, to expectations. The truth of the path that frees us from suffering How we live creates a path to less suffering. A compassionate life, mindful thinking, perceptions that are congruent with current moment reality, these ideas help create a path to peaceful life. I don't know. I have a deep sense in inner peace and the ability to create peaceful life, but then I come to the path that leads me to hunger for tension, passion and the expression of inner pain. The Zen of Angst. The Tao of Despair. The sacred path of the artist, who can have peace yet is not peace. I crave company and intelligent conversation- and I am delighted to be making a conversation friend with Dagon, who's thoughts and mind I am getting quite attached to. The beauty of ideas- in a world where human adults choose complaciency to create comfort, when is a mockery of peace. Welcome to the dead zone of 'growing up'. I suspect I will never 'grow up', and will always appear as the immature 'didn't you get out of high school like 30 years ago?' artist, rock musician and general pied piper/ beast prince creature unable to settle for settling down. So for your entertainment and enjoyment, a little Zen of Angst and Tao of Despair...
and sometimes y'just have to get a little stupid for the day lol

Huggles. I haven't grown up either. Its too hard. I admit I just want nice safe dark hole to rest and doodle in. Maybe as get stronger with more reason to be out in light, my hands to hold, more hugs and kisses, sweet words of encouragement I will be strong enough to take more risk let go of wounded little kid who hurt pretty bad. Or maybe just find my inner super hero that does more then take naps like comic book guy I created back ago called Tranny Napman, who motto is "I take naps."
ReplyDeleteBtw are you going to put up your video in youtube so I see it larger? Pretty please I beg you I want to see your doodles expanded on my screen:)
