Tom Hanks Gives Nervous America The Pre-Election Pep Talk It Needs
Tom Hanks is here, and everything is going to be all right
“America’s Dad” sat down with the nation for a quiet pre-election pep talk on “Saturday Night Live.”
“America is feeling a little nervous these days,” said the Hollywood legend. “And I’m a responsible father, so I thought maybe it’s time we had a little chat.”
“All I came in here to say is you are great,” he said, before trying to boost morale by reeling off a list of the nation’s accomplishments.
In reference to the upcoming election, he said he knew America would “make the right choice” ― as long as it thinks with its heart and mind “and not so much down there.”
The “Inferno” star acknowledged that the U.S. had endured a “rough year” and felt “anxious and conflicted” and “scared” about “what’s gonna happen next.”
The good kind of silence,
Is the comfortable,
Calm silence,
Where nothing really matters,
As you float through your own world of happiness.
The bad kind of silence,
Is every woman’s nightmare
Why nightmare you ask?
Well, when a woman is silent,
A billion things are flashing through her mind,
Doubts, insecurities but most of all …
hurt.
True nature is pure and deep like clear, still water.
If beaten with hatred or love, waves of anxiety arise.
Arising without cease, self-nature becomes confused.
Anxiety and ignorance ever increase unconsciously.
Self grasping another is like mud entering water.
Self moved by another is like throwing fat on the fire.
While chaos is taken to be real, self is born.
If self is not born, anxiety, burning for eons, turns to ice.
Thus perfected ones first empty the polluted self.
When the polluted self is emptied, how can the outer realm be blocked.
Resilience is the function of the self forgotten.
As soon as quirk appears, you recognize them immediately.
The point of recognition is enlightenment.
The instant one thought returns to brightness.
All traces are swept away. That moment is refreshing.
Refreshing and relaxing;
Incomparable and independent;
Tranquil and harmonious;
Nothing can match it.

“On Clear Mind” describes the method of practice from the state of self to the state of non-self.
Han Shan wrote this poem for a beginning student asking for guidance. Han Shan compared the mind to the muddy water – in order to calm our mind we have to keep it perfectly still so that the mud will settle to the bottom, leaving the water clear. If there is a self, the turbulence in the outer realm will cause your mind to move. The mind emptied of self will naturally be calm and peaceful, remained unaffected by any obstruction. You will feel free and independent, and as far as you are concerned, nothing can transcend it.
The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant.
Its species name refers to its camel-like appearance and the patches of color on its fur. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. The nine subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns.
Now that I have your attention ….
here’s wishing you a very relaxing, calm and awesome Sunday!!
~~Up close & GoPro with Central Florida Zoo’s new giraffes~~

Emba, one the new giraffes at the Central Florida Zoo, gets curious with the Orlando Sentinel’s GoPro camera Monday, April 7, 2014.
I thought I was leading a peaceful, calm and tranquil life. I had my family life and had a social life. Both were equally satisfying and fulfilling.
It looks and feels like a tornado swept across my side of town.
The sweet, satisfying social life has gone to hell in a handbasket.
You wouldn’t believe the amount of drama that has suddenly appeared in my vicinity.
I always thought that I was a good judge of character. It seems that I’ve made a few mistakes in allowing some into my inner circle.
In all my years of “experience“, I had never met and dealt with some of the specimens that I’ve recently come across. It’s been a lesson learned. I’m learning to refine my detection of those energies that can sweep in, take over and destroy.
I say a lesson learned because this has taught me who the real friends are.
I agree with the above statement. The internet is an awesome technological advance. One of the tools is social media.
Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about personal or private affairs of others.
Gossip has been researched in terms of its evolutionary psychology origins. This has found gossip to be an important means by which people can monitor cooperative reputations and so maintain widespread indirect reciprocity. Indirect reciprocity is defined here as “I help you and somebody else helps me.” Gossip has also been identified by Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary biologist, as aiding social bonding in large groups.
With the advent of the internet gossip is now widespread on an instant basis, from one place in the world to another what used to take a long time to filter through is now instant. Very easily this can become a gauge for others to evaluate what is going on in people’s lives.
The term is sometimes used to specifically refer to the spreading of dirt and misinformation, as (for example) through excited discussion of scandals. Some newspapers carry “gossip columns” which detail the social and personal lives of celebrities or of élite members of certain communities.
It Is What It Is
