a four day vow

sometimes absence is needed to note presence...

Studying Buddhadharma yesterday and today, I made a vow this morning not to listen to music. Using my computer to do some things, i automatically think ''oh i can turn on some ...'' - usually i would follow the thought. Now, I'm going to have the thought follow me for a few days. :)

Amituofo!

the world is interesting,

peace,
fedde

who doesn't get happy seeing those who uphold the precepts?


What i've seen was great, - i will definetely take the time one of these weeks, to see the entire documentary.

Amituofo! :)

peace,
fedde

just need to write

some random thoughts:

it is a most healthy thing to be outside; just take a walk every now and then. :) Look around, hear the sounds (mostly highway/freeway (whatever) for me :P). Enjoy. Thát is environmental activism!

another thought:
plurality!

another thought:
classical music! :)

another thought:
i think part of the entire problem in the world is a lack of spirituality - people are forgetting to think about some matters, don't search or find a home. This is really the cause of the environmental problem. Which for me is not global warming (though it is, if it is antropogenic, certainly bad, in my view), but is really what we see so clearly in de Randstad where i'm living: no nature at all! Just human intervention wherever you go... its sad you know.

ok,
perhaps i need to think some more and some less, the world needs both.

or perhaps... :)

or perhaps i'm not going crazy at all (though the world will - mind you). Sometimes one goes through hard times without noticing it really. Luckily sometimes my spiritual teachers and friends are always there. (I oftentimes think of the fact that the Triple Jewel saved my life in a sense.) They can sometimes help on ways they might not even have intended or imagined.

just in the hope people take some time and listen to some wonderful Dharma songs:

So, i'll make new mistakes... and make new vows. I'll constantly fail, and will constantly be desparetely going back in respect. But one vow will stay strong above all: i'm NOT going to stop coming back to goodness... i'll never stop trying, i promise.

in gratefulness to my dharma friends and dharma teachers, to the Triple Jewel,
their disciple and friend,

one of these days

the world is going crazy - i'm pretty proud to be one of the first...

but besides that, i'm probably useless... worthless
Where is my vigor? Especially why its needed? And why on earth is it December - if there is one month which is especially deceivable it is December. Very emotional; dark; addictive... I prefer Januari and Februari - they're light... December is too dark. December conceals, ''cozies'' it up with Sinterklaas, Christmas and New Year.

I think i'm going to write a post for the DRBY blog one of these weeks. On speech... being alone a lot one sees that: people speaking... and one notices the subjects (gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip).

Nevermind reader - this is just a mood (December!). It will pass; one of these days:

hmm...

useless days, spending hours and hours, asking what i did. Last week i excelled in vigor and efficiency... things end, unfortunately.

And people have too much opinions, especially myself. I can't stand it! I just want to solve the riddle and be free of ignorance - somehow i (WRONLY) suspect i might find out how the world works by learning at university... stupid, stupid, stupid fedde... now, i should go back to: working, learning, reading, sleeping...

by the way, got into listening to Syd Barret's work again... somehow feels like one of my homes. There is a difference between what he wrote when he had already left pink floyd (see a previous post) and his last episodes with the floyd: the next song is neither of both: a song of the earliest stage: (why are there so much songs by Pink Floyd i never heard before? I had the impressions, probably correct, i had all (relevant) the cd's that were ever officially released)
