Silence

Silence is an invisible tree
With songs resting on its leaves
Silence is a flower
Colored by voices
And shaped by drums

It is the absence of sound
And the dwelling place
Of the eternal song
Like the night sky is full of stars
Though you can’t see them

Silence is music in its whole
Like the day and night together
Would make time still
Like the man and woman as one
Would make love absent

Silence is a symphony
With all their bows on their laps
All their reeds still on trees
All their woods without wind
And conspiring to make music
Out of nothing

Silence is like the night sky
Full of stars though you can’t see them

Synchronicity & The Law of Attraction

" T he Secret teaches us that we create our lives, with every thought every minute of every day. Living The Secret offers tools and ideas to help you live The Secret and create the life of your dreams." - "As The Secret has swept the world and touched millions of lives, we have received so many stories of lives being transformed into joy." -The Secret W e shouldn't underestimate the power of synchronicity. "Synchronicity" is usually thought to be the opposite of "coincidence." Coincidental events seem to have no rhyme or reason. But, The Secret proposes that by consciously applying the Law of Attraction you can change every aspect of your life. Synchronizations seem to be perfectly orchestrated to arrive at exactly the time we need them, as if by divine order . Perhaps you can remember a few events or experiences that where too "trippy" to write off as mere coincidence. For example, instances where you were thinking of a certai...

The Florida Theater Marquee

● www.GoliathFlores.com I was driving down Main Street and I caught a red light at the corner where it meets Forsyth Street. So I decide to take a look at the Florida Theater marquee to see who's playing this weekend. But... I couldn't see because there was a tree, a beautiful tree, but still... There was a tree blocking the sign. View from Main St. "They should remove the branches of that tree.", I thought to myself. But, then I thought that it's so hot here in Yachtsombeel, and the shade from trees is so nice when you can get it... Then I wondered why there's not a marquee on the other side of the Florida Theater, the side facing The Landing? B A M ! Here you go. View from Main Street Bridge. ● www.GoliathFlores.com

Ishmael - Daniel Quinn

One of the best books I've ever read... T he book opens with a deceptively ordinary personals ad: "Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world." Seeking a direction for his life, a young man answers the ad and is startled to find that the teacher is a lowland gorilla named Ishmael, a creature uniquely placed to vision anew the human story. Ishmael's paradigm of history is startlingly different from the one wired into our cultural consciousness. For Ishmael, our agricultural revolution was not a technological event but a moral one, a rebellion against an ethical structure inherent in the community of life since its foundation four billion years ago. Having escaped the restraints of this ethical structure, humankind made itself a global tyrant, wielding deadly force over all other species while lacking the wisdom to make its tyranny a beneficial one or even a sustainable one... That tyranny is now hurtling us toward a planetary disaster of...
