Meaningful Questions

 I shall start here with my own post, quoting Svetislav Basara, Serbian writer: "There is an answer to every question, as long as the question is of no significance or if it is idiotic. The real question has no answer."

Still there are few that i find useful at the end of everyday:

1) What have I taken today as a game not as a task? (it can be a small thing, improvisation, spontaneity...)

2) Where have I stopped with control today and let things be as they are?

3) Which moment has shown me that life is not a problem to be solved but a sing to be sung?

4) What has brought me a sense of lightness and joy, it may be for just a moment?

5) If I could live a little less serious tomorrow what would that mean and take?

These questions are not here to provide final answers, but to remind us that life can be play, song, and joy. So tonight or tomorrow, take a moment to ask yourself at least one of them. Perhaps it will open a new perspective on the day ahead.

Two friends went for coffee.

Scenario 1. One of the friends wanted to put sugar in the other's coffee. What she put in was actually poison.

Scenario 2. One of the friends wanted to put poison in the other's coffee. what she put in was actually sugar.

What is worse here.

Scenario 2 is one where there was intent to kill another human being.

However, in Scenario 1 we have a dead person.

Joy

There is a very good question for the end of th day; "What has brought me a joy today?" 

To me, today... Georgia O'Keeffe and her "Hibiscus with Plumeria"  From 1939,today in Smithsonian American Art Museum). 

Lotus

My flower...

Life in this country and region is not easy. A lot of envy, uneducated, envy, ugly and in every sense not nice people... Still.. Lo-tus! 

Buddha in Action

"The Buddha taught that there are “four immeasurables”. They are known as such because, when attained, they are limitless. They are the qualities of compassion, loving kindness, equanimity and empathetic joy: mudita.

Mudita is about feeling joy for another person’s good fortune. Underpinning mudita is the understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings." writes Jackie Bailey in The Guardian Article.

The Past has no existence...
