having that "don't give a damn" feeling

smashed some idols

then glued them together again

can't say where the tears fall from

why my cheeks heat with water

but some hidden well's been tapped

and the plumbers can't cap it tight

been bathing in the torrent of feelings

flushing the tubes of the heart

no reason since my outer shelf is clean

my flesh's been scrubbed with Ivory soap

msut be the glueing of the idols

though smashed

it's tough to let them go

*Our food keeps us alive but it won't save us from death.

*Many politicians words sound like lies.

*Only by living life can you free yourself from it.  So live it to such a degree that it benefits you.

  -Carl Jung

*Certainly all historical experience confirms the truth - that man would not have attained the possible unless time and time again he had reached out for the impossible.

  -Max Weber

*...when asked by an interviewer late in life if he (Jung) believed in God, he replied, "I don't believe.  I know!"

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -Saying "Do not do unto others," relying on prohibitions and taboos - all that is completely pointless as long as the link between myself and others has not been perceived.

  -I prefer a dangerous love, a love that hurts.  Perhaps a wild flower will grow within it, as pure as a diamond.

  -We are never asked to substitute words and ideas for the reality of love.

 -If we think of love as simply the play of desire, of pleasure and habit, if there's no detachment - that is, if sovereign death is not in some way present and absent within the instant - there is no joy.

 -To sin is to deliberately halt along the way and reject the joy of self-liberation.

 -What are we to do in the midst of our tangled lives?  Nothing, except to let love act.  To become its accomplice, in happiness and sorrow.  To put oneself second.  To love without hope of return.  Every pain can become a lasting joy, starting today.
