messengers & destinations

"Everyone around you, friend or foe, is a messenger to demonstrate where you are and how to get where you'd like to be. " Guru Singh.

 

Ive only just been pondering this today and how much sense it really makes, especially in relation to the times when we may not be for example experiencing the job/career/romance/life/whatever of our wildest imaginings... and we feel as though we are banging our heads on the table over and over again... thinking about a situation in this way helps to not only make things more understandable, but maybe helps us surrender to the ever-unfolding flow of our perfect lives....

 

So where do you want to go today?

 

And in the spirit of this: 

 

 

It really is a great mantra ;-)

Melancholia...

"A beautiful movie about the end of the world"....

I can't wait to see this film, especially after Margaret bestowed  upon it that elusive 5 star rating!  It just looks so visually rich and audibly spectacular (Wagner features heavily too throughout...oh the deep, dramatic ear-joy!)  And the subject matter is so profound, so provocative... the idea that someone can just -be- unhappy, so common yet almost always so hidden, so misunderstood. Here's more below in a featurette:

In keeping with the Papillon Noir-esque theme of this post, today I matched my clothes to the sky and dressed in storm-cloud colours -

Here, Here!

Places...

A place to think, a place to dream...

A place to write, a place to create...

A place to relax, a place to ponder...

A place to gather, with food and thought...

A place to experiment, a place to learn...

A place to rest after world-weary travels...

A place of choice, a place to be free...

Lately, I've been thinking of places... And of what we need around us in order to live an inspired and fulfilled life. All these 'places'and moreover the infinite feelings they evoke are an integral part, I feel, to leading the lives we've always dreamed of and more importantly, the lives we deserve... We simply must make the time, make the space and make our perfect life happen!

Freedom and Happiness?

I found this little gem on www.weheartit.com, and thought it was worth pondering...

Such philosophical musings require some thought from time to time, don't you think?
