The Dark Side of Mind

Is a happy mind.
Pink Peony.
As I wrote the above I was reminded of the oriental story of the traveller who comes across a monk sat upon a rock by the roadside in peaceful meditation. They begin conversing and the traveller asks the monk...
"Can you tell me the difference between heaven and hell?"
"Yes" says the monk, and returns to his meditation.
"Tell me then" says the traveller but the monk remains silent. The traveller keeps repeating "tell me, tell me:, each time becoming angrier and angrier until at last he picks up a rock and yells -
"Tell me or I will kill you!"
"And there you have it" says the monk "there is the difference".
So a peaceful mind is indeed a happy mind and a mind only becomes peaceful when it is free from desire and aversion and is in full acceptance of what is, and what comes. A mind forever seeking this or avoiding that is a mind of discontent - self evidently.
What's any of that got to do with this flower you might rightly ask - well, it kind of reminded me of the shape of the brain, which led to mind which led to the title, which in turn led to the anecdote. So, if you got this far - odd how things work out.......
Another view of the hills and valleys making up the highlands area of Southern India! It is definitely God's country. It is also one of the areas of India that beckons many honeymooners.
From the summit of a nearby small mount, looking east to Lake Champlain and Vermont beyond. I see this often; it’s always different. Here is my memory’s distillation – my mind’s eye’s image.
And in my mind, in my head
This is where we all came from
The dreams we have, the love we share
This is why we're waiting for
And in my mind, in my head
This is where we all came from
The dreams we have, the love we share
This is why we're waiting for

Wind Song perfume, launched in 1953, for many years used the advertising jingle "Your Wind Song Stays On My Mind." Thanks to my wife for pointing that out when I was trying to come up with a title for this shot of her perfume bottle.

Ease your mind. Go take a walk in the nature. It's a natural way to decrease blood pressure and feel happier. Humans need more connection with nature than most of us get these days.
So many people have grown estranged from nature and forests especially and may even feel that they're scary. Forests are the best way to experience nature, take in all the scents and sounds and on top of that they have been proven to really improve happiness. Go now, take a stroll in the woods. It's good for you.

FIREWORKS IN MY MIND
I feel that I could lose myself
within the warm fold of your arms
the intensity you feel for me
ignites fireworks in my mind
within the recess of my heart
where past love left a void
there's a burning river running through
lighting fireworks in my mind
it's scorching everything I touch
and coursing through my veins
I close my eyes and try to breathe
but still see fireworks in my mind
I feel myself falling deep
in the garden of my dreams
this burning love; intense white heat
creates fireworks in my mind
I walk along my empty beach
and try to stem the flow
I don't want to feel this way
with fireworks in my mind
it feels too much; explosive love
it consumes me with it's madness
somehow you got beneath my skin
caused fireworks in my mind
I'm weakening now as you grow close
but I'm less when you're not here
the coldness that ached and broke my bones
is gone with fireworks in my mind
I need to choose; to do things right
but it's harder when you're here
you took my heart and made it yours
lit fireworks in my mind
If I could choose and have it all
I'd tell you not to go
don't make me choose between the moon and you
with fireworks in my mind

I learned the coolest thing about taking pictures in SL today. I messaged a friend and he told me he had just learned a light trick that blew his mind. I asked him to teach me and this is the result. Mind blown!

"Our life is a lighting ... but we're catching up"
Nikos Kazantzakis
"Tonight the song will be like a prayer,
it will be an olive grove in a forgotten land.
Tonight the song will become a hug that will fit you too,
even if you are far away.
Tonight, no one laughs at the moon,
She caresses basil with her one hand.
And I who don't sleep
and I who am awake,
I don't know if I will die or if I will be born.
Tonight my heart will become an old bicycle
that wants to go to the sky.
To find Massimo Troisi and tell him
how life changes overnight.
Tonight the song will become a hug that will fit you too,
even if you are far away."
The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom ~ James Allen.
