Once you alienate yourself, you alienate and remove the reason for life itself.

They will skip on a lovely day---I saw two pre-teen girls skipping the other day, and I felt I was skipping looking at them skipping. And as I watched I thought how totally connected we are with the animals. because they get all excited, especailly when Spring arrives, and all the buds are sprouting<BR/><BR/>For a dog it must be simply incredible, because you see their smelling capacity with their coldwet black noses is vastly more sensual than ours! So all the scents must be exhilerating for them, and they will run, jump, and do all kinds of moves flat on their back, wiggling about, caught up in the thrill of it all, usually in the mud, or fox poo haha<BR/><BR/>I am loving your posts Leon :)muzuzuzushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03662316983453845369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713114506587177692.post-42060621530979664462009-04-10T11:20:00.000-07:002009-04-10T11:20:00.000-07:00Sometimes it is difficult to stop. Everyday this world throws something at me that will waste my time or distract me from what i really want. Sometimes i get confused about what i want in life because there are so many things that drive me away from myself. I wonder what to do in this small prison, i wonder about my life and how i got here, i wonder about what i can do to get what i want and make others happy. <BR/><BR/>Life has so much for us. Its a shame that most waste it by trying to be better than others or impress others. We could have anything we want if we work together as friends but thatll probably never happen with the way things are. The energy, love, is always being disrupted by corrupt individuals that value power and control. If i could just relax on a beach, climb a tree, go fishing, lie on an open field of wheat, sleep with my loved one, or just be me everyday then i would be happy. This world has so much yet it is wasted by ourselves. "I dont have time" then make time, "im bored" then do something. Geez, people can be so robotic sometimes with all their days being the same and thats ok with them. I cant live like that, i need to have fun, i need to enjoy the day and experience life. One day...Alfredohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14738375554767776563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713114506587177692.post-8771130580734729582009-04-10T09:45:00.000-07:002009-04-10T09:45:00.000-07:00You was wondering and you have one explain in the fancy blog and then you have this one.

One perspective is that nothing is difficult to understand as an energy being grasps what it means to stop resisting. People resist the truth due to unacknowledged fear and selective ignorance.

You seem to me to be a tuned in fellow. You're welcome to read all the work I have up if I may read yours. I've got a shit ton of material, but I have had no luck with publishers and agents. I do run a little magazine though, Secondhand Rockingchair. It's not much, but you'd fit into it nicely. I'd love to run a piece of yours. Perhaps we'll begin a correspondence?Lust With Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02729604216655461925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713114506587177692.post-76232077090606006892009-04-06T16:46:00.000-07:002009-04-06T16:46:00.000-07:00Molly - Thank you so much!:)Leon Basinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12707501065021550093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713114506587177692.post-40523125010492582542009-04-06T16:41:00.000-07:002009-04-06T16:41:00.000-07:00Great post, Leon!
