"I don't feel like my time is short. I feel an intense need to prepare. I want to be self sustaining. For example, growing my own food, educating my children, staying out of the city, not having to rely on commercialism....etc." ~ Me


"This is the first year, I haven't self destructed. I haven't torn everything in my life apart to start over.  It feels really good." ~Me


"People that think that we are alone in the Universe are blind and arrogant." ~Me


"I am easily entertained. Always have been." ~Me


"I don't like teaching my kids to believe in Santa Claus and the like. But I do enforce the tooth fairy. Ha! I still believe in fairies, even though I am putting the money under the pillow!" ~Me


"Change is coming fast, behind it fear of the unknown, but in front of it, excitement." ~Me


"You are healing and growing very fast.... Concentrate here." ~Me


"Bless the sickness...it is an ill feeling safe guard of sort." ~My friend


"I am so used to being reclusive....it feels like the first day of school" ~My friend


"You must consciously accept what subconsciously seem like a defeat." ~My friend

So with all that said....
I was reading some things this morning that have nothing to do with the above said things.
Enjoy some much higher wisdom below.

"If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.  

If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.  

There is always a lord of death.  

He who takes the place of the lord of death is like one who cuts with the blade of a master carpenter.  

Whoever cuts with the blade of a master carpenter is sure to cut his own hands." 

~Tao Te Ching, 74th Verse

"In a world become blind,
I beat the drum of the Deathless."

~Buddha

"Everything changes, nothing remains without change."

~Buddha

"If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 

The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.  

The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 

As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 

And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 

For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 

“Where, O death, is your victory? 

Where, O death, is your sting?”

 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  

But thanks be to God! 

He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. 

Let nothing move you. 

Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 

1 Corinthians 15:45-58
