Attitude is Everything

Posted on Apr 29th, 2008 by Tonya : Unpredictable in Spirit Tonya

The
last of the
human freedoms
is to choose one's attitude
in any given set of
circumstances,
to choose one's
own way.

Love the world
as if weaving cotton:
add to the thin,
and join the
broken.

A Single Act of Love

Posted on Dec 17th, 2006 by Tonya : Unpredictable in Spirit Tonya
Swim

The truth is
that, no matter
what kind of game
you find yourself in,
no matter how good or
bad the luck, you can change
your life completely with a single
thought or a single act of love. For this
is what we do: Put one foot forward and then
the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of
the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little
consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain
the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of
another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise
of a new day. With love: the passionate search for
a truth other than our own. With longing: the
ineffable yearning to be saved. For so
long as fate keeps waiting, we
live on. God help us.
God forgive us.
We live on.

~ Shantaram

Tranquil Chaos

Posted on Nov 30th, 2006 by Tonya : Unpredictable in Spirit Tonya
Mouth

I like to live in the sound of water,
in the feel of the mountain air.
A sharp reminder hits me:
this world is still alive;
it stretches out there shivering
toward its own creation, and I'm part of it.
Even my breathing enters into this
elaborate give-and-take, this bowing
to sun and moon, day or night,
winter, summer, storm, still --
this tranquil chaos that seems to be
going somewhere, this wilderness with a
great peacefulness in it, this motionless
turmoil, this everything dance.

The Fire Inside

Posted on Nov 18th, 2006 by Tonya : Unpredictable in Spirit Tonya
Fire

One can live at a low flame.
Most people do. For some, life is an
exercise in moderation (best china saved
for special occasions), but given something
like death, what does it matter if one
looks foolish now and then, or tries
too hard, or cares too deeply?

~ Diane Ackerman

Chemistry

     Chemistry can be good or bad. 
     Chemistry is good when
     you make love with it. 
     Chemistry is bad when you
     make crack with it.

Expect Good

Try with all your might and work very, very hard
to make the world a better place. But if all
your efforts are to no avail --
no hard feelings.

Leap

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself.
There is a microscopically thin
line between being brilliantly
creative and acting like the
most gigantic idiot on
earth. So what
the hell,
leap.

Loving One's Fate

Posted on Jun 14th, 2006 by Tonya : Unpredictable in Spirit Tonya
Love

 

Amor fati - The virtue of loving one's fate

I am a Romantic.

I don't mean that I am sentimental, I mean that I have an attitude and point of view in which my imagination, emotion, and individuality are primary. I take my idea of romanticism from the romantic poets who stressed intimacy, beauty, ordeal, the ordinary life, and nature.

I want my romantic life to be rich and complex, to be thick with images, dreams, paintings, music and words. I want to reach out to others and share my zest for life.

Today I want to remember that love, and not intellect, is the way to the spirit. I want to embrace and love my fate.
