I don’t know you, you don’t know me
We don’t know each other
Yet we do, somehow,
Some way, We are all connected.
We are connected to this life by many threads
Which we only notice when they are broken
Whether family, friends, work or welfare, all
Pull us apart in different dimensions in time.
You are connected to me by small pleasures
Which we only notice when we stop giving
Whether interest, intent, wish or wisdom, all
Pull us apart in different dimensions in space.
We are connected to each other for ever now
Which we only notice when we are apart again
Whether travel, trust, freedom or failure, all
Pull us apart in different dimensions in love.

And it is beautiful, too, indeed, I think some of Seth Andrews’ best work. Interesting point: rather than Seth’s dulcet baritone doing the narration, this piece presses Nathan Phelps’ deep bass intonation into service, bringing a different flavor to it, as well as a healthy dose of irony.
Tears, my tears fall to wine
As I can not comprehend this horrendous crime
Men filled with such spiteful hate
Islamic teachings seal their fate
Kill and slaughter love and smiles
How I pray tell does this bring about
Any compassion of heart, have they no guile?
I have walked along those Parisian streets
Filled with history and diversity, such a feat
Hand in hand, people from so many lands
Dressed in darkness, blacks and grays
The massacre dancing in premonitions sway
Crusaders never win, for love will take its stand
Hundreds taken from Jesus hands
For nothing more than celebrating their great lands
Food and drink and lovers smiles
Stolen this night by hateful bile
We shall rise again, defend and stand
Our blood may flow in the river seine
However in the end its you, who is insane
We shall defend our liberty
Even if we hang evil from the tree
Père Lachaise has brought me tears
Such history over all the years
Yet here I am faced to visit once again
Paying respect to those dying in vain
My heart is fraught, with you till eternity
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
Notes: Pere Lachaise is a famous cemetery in Paris Liberté, égalité, fraternité is the motto of France
Hopeful, hopeful,
That’s the feeling I get when I hear her name.
Not knowing when;
Or why she has chosen me.
But knowing in my heart that I will never let her down.
Condescending;
Of all these ideas I have of her.
My walk with her has been one I’ll never forget;
I will not
Loose her.
In all the chaos in this world,
She is the one I seek for guidance
Please, never let me go.
Forever with her,
I am,
Hopeful!

(I took the liberty of changing “him” to “her”, “he” to “she”, “his” to “hers”).
The last few days have been harrowing and mind-boggling. The security of what we know as our life, our world and our safety has been shaken to the core.
We frequently think:
“It won’t happen to me, it won’t happen here, it won’t happen to us.”
The only thing that we know for sure is that life, as we know it, can change in a flash.
Here’s a balm, a beautiful song to transport us to a warm, beautiful place …. if only for a moment.
“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
Google honors Hedy Lamarr, inventor of technology behind Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Renaissance woman Hedy Lamarr could not be accused of living a dull life. Even before fleeing her loveless marriage to a Nazi arms dealer to become a Hollywood star, Lamarr had captured international attention as the first female actor to simulate an orgasm in a non-pornographic film.
But none of this, presumably, is why Google has chosen to honor the Austrian-American with a Doodle on what would be her 101st birthday.
“Any girl can be glamorous, all you have to do is stand still and look stupid.”
Hedy Lamarr
She is remembered for her beauty on the silver screen, but the Hollywood actor spent her nights inventing a weapons communication system that was a precursor to wireless technologies including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in 1914 in Vienna, Lamarr began acting as a teenager. At the age of 18, she starred in the scandalous 1930’s Czech film Ecstasy, in which she goes skinny dipping then, still completely nude, chases a runaway horse. Later on, she simulates an orgasm – the first female actor to do this in a theatrically-released film.
Married at 19 to a Nazi arms merchant – one of the richest men in Austria – Lamarr was virtually a prisoner in her own home, according to Trina Robbins, author of Hedy Lamarr and a Secret Communication System. It was during this time that Lamarr was first exposed to weapons technology – at numerous dinner parties where she listened to her husband and his guests discuss the technical aspects of weapons design.
She eventually fled the marriage and went to Hollywood, landing a seven-year, $3000-a-week contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. An immediate sensation, the hugely popular actor starred in films including Tortilla Flat, Lady of the Tropics, Boom Town, and Samson and Delilah.
Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, literally the “Free Associated State of Puerto Rico”), is a United States territory located in the northeastern Caribbean.
Puerto Rico is an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands. The capital and largest city isSan Juan. The territory does not observe daylight saving time, and its official languages are Spanish, which is predominant, and English. The island’s population is approximately 3.6 million.
Puerto Rico’s rich history, tropical climate, diverse natural scenery and renowned traditional cuisine make it a popular destination for visitors from around the world. Its location in the Caribbean, combined with centuries of colonization and subsequent migration, has made Puerto Rican culture a distinct melting pot of Amerindian, Spanish, African and North American influences.
“I stand tall
As gracious as one could be
Blooming to my best
As slender as it touches my being
Everyone else is facing the sun
Bending towards its unfathomable galore
They and I are both undoubtedly
Grown on the benevolence of life’s essence
The brighter side mercilessly feeding desires unbound
By daunting the “courage to know” with each spin
Though, I am not able to face the sun the way they do
Yet, I learn from the knowledge bred within me
Beyond achievement markers, but an adverse ability
An opportunity to exercise my special self
From the cherubic attire of my blessed soul
To the unfathomable mystery the drape of this world hides
That I, by not facing the sun
Hunt the gems in the milieu of the human existence.”

As much as there is an art of war there is one for love too.
Here, a couple get ready for their romantic encounter – both in their own inimitable way. However, they both have their own particular and very individual recipe with which they hope to further enamor their partner.
This charming and funny animated short was made by a group of students at Supinfocom in France.
To expect is to believe or think that something will happen or someone will arrive.
To expect is to wish or wait for something that would or would not happen.
To expect is to long for something untouchable, someone out of reach.
To expect is to look for a sightless one.
To expect is invisible.
To expect is hope.
Your expectation is believing that “Us” will happen and
“Our Time” will arrive.
Your expectation is wishing and waiting for an impossible chance.
Your expectation is longing for an unreachable touch, unreachable kiss.
Your expectation is an unreachable love.
Your expectation is looking for a sight of an illusion.
Your expectation is killing.
Your expectation is killing you.
If expectation is belief …. I believe in letting it go.
It will come around back to me if it’s meant to be mine.
If expectation is a wish….
I wish for only the best and happiness to you and those that you love and love you .
If expectation is longing..
I will long for you silently in all my brightest days and all my darkest nights.
If expectation is looking ….
I will be looking forward just to hear you, see you and feel you from my longest distance.
If expectation is an invisibility ….
I wish you to feel me and see me with your heart only,
When the night falls, you’re all alone by yourself and dreaming, that’s the moment of “us” right there, where our hearts lie.
If expectation is hope ….
I hope that we will meet again, no matter how long it would take.
I’ll give you the best hug I have …. the best kiss I can
…. and the best love I make.
Finally, if expectation kills ….
Let’s us drop this expectation, move on our life the way we both are supposed to.
I will live a happy life since I have met …. I have done ….
I have found and I have known what the “Right ” is all about.
It Is What It Is
