it's time for those again. the last time was in 1989. that time it was accompanied by a bit more of an uplifted feeling. this time it's still to be decided. and yet. they just returned and with good cause.
"We are on a tightrope walk and whichever is more powerful and got more subscribers - that path will open up for us all - safe or not. It's a decision we all take and we will either go here or there. I hope it is the right one we will end up on. We have to ensure that we will. They are interesting times now."
"It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
"i haven't been around for a while. i have not even checked in. after finding Evolver way back when, and feeling as having found a place to stay at first, it then lost my attention, my focus and my needs became different. whether this had to do with a decision taken, a re-shift in focus, or just a gut-feeling that it was not needed, not at the time - i don't know.
has it got to do with growing old
or as some would like to say growing up?
have you noticed how the actions
- and the image they wish to portray -
of so many change once they hit the big 3-0
(or around about that time)
up to then it was ok to stand up for things
not only ok to stand up for them but almost a requirement
There was so much I wanted to share and talk about here, inspired by what has been going on over the past few days and weeks - the upheaval shown on Evolver that seem to have left many uneasy, but...
it's been slowly creeping up on me. i should have been aware, i was, but time always flies does it not. and now, it seems as if suddenly it just appeared out of nowhere: decision time.
there was one concept on my mind last night - civil courage.
apparently this term is used in different countries and settings in different ways. for me it means e.g. that when i see injustices, i will step in and try and act against.
tonight is one of those times when i just got home after a long day and check out what's been going on with you guys here....to find so much openess, some of you sharing your most inner feelings and thoughts, parts of your past and what makes you who you are and others caring about this, giving love, sharing thoughts and ideas and wisdom...this is when i love the place here and everyone...when i f
a man and a woman somehow seeming to be linked to one another, a couple maybe, told me last night to stick to my guns. they told me not to get disillusioned, disgruntled and stay on the path.
here's an idea on how we could combine people's still existent lust for luxury goods especially those luxury cars with being environmental friendly (as well as keeping us fit)
lately i have had this odd feeling...of not knowing whether things are really happening/have really happened or whether it was a dream that is still lingering on...
the ideas are out there...people sharing the ideas are out there...i even dare to say that the ideas...we all carry within us...like an intrinsic gene that has been within us throughout evolution...all we need to do is to tap into it, to wake it, to dare to face it, listen to it, act upon it...
Sarah Blasko --- Had this song on my playlist for a few weeks now and had it playing most of the time as well, but it was not until today, when I drove through the rain and the traffic back home from a day spent with meetings et al that I really started to "listen" - and feel it just fits.
I don't think I am a very good writer. I don't know how to capture an audience. Not only for them to stick with me and my thoughts but also just to draw attention. And I am all about going round in circles.
Today I stumbled over an essay I wrote in May 2000 in preparation for my dissertation (which was on "Identity and international business negotiation" - IBN are a bit boring on their own so the identity concept was supposed to make it a bit more interesting).
"...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.
Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.
