Interests: the aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware - joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. (henry miller)

| from the gospel of thomas
6 His disciples asked him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How should
we pray? Should we give to charity? What diet should we observe?"
Jesus said, "Don't lie, and don't do what you hate, because all things are
disclosed before heaven. After all, there is nothing hidden that will not be
revealed, and there is nothing covered up that will remain undisclosed."
77 Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all
came forth, and to me all attained. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift
up the stone, and you will find me there."
113. His disciples said to him, "When will the (Father's) imperial rule come?"
"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or
'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and
people don't see it."

| A Many-Speldored Thing
Unfurled,
Broken upon the earth
Seeping, wet,
Bare down into the soil damp and dark;
Likewise
Rising vaporous to thieving airs
Swept and suck’d ‘way;
Frail; naked;
Transparent iron fingers
Spearing flesh to desirous flesh;
Beyond joy,
Transcending pain,
Overshadowing hope,
Voiding silence,
Burning apathy,
& unending as
Ozymandias;
So broad and fractal
is the blackberried
word. | | |
| their own failings"In the bright hall of Zeus upon Olympos
the other gods were all at home, and Zeus,
the father of gods and men, made conversation.
For he had meditated on Aigisthos, dead
by the hand of Agamemnon's son, Orestes,
and spoke his thought aloud before them all:
'My word, how mortals take the gods to task!
All their afflictions come from us, we hear.
And what of their own failings? Greed and folly
double the suffering in the lot of man'" (Odyssey i:42-51).

Cabbie hands back 350,000 dollars in diamonds found in taxi
Nov 18 2:35 PM US/Eastern

(AP) -- A
Los Angeles taxi driver distinguished himself by his honesty after
finding a pouch filled with diamonds worth 350,000 dollars in the back
of his cab, police said.
At first,
Afghan immigrant Haider Sediqi, 40, paid little attention when he found
the small brown pouch in the back of his car after dropping off a fare
at Los Angeles airport on Wednesday.
But later in the day, Sediqi's jaw dropped when he opened the pouch to
discover a series of clear plastic boxes filled with a fortune in cut
diamonds, carefully mounted in Styrofoam.
The honest cabbie, a father of two who immigrated to the United States
in the 1990s, immediately called police and handed over the king's
ransom in precious stones.
The haul
was returned to its relieved and grateful owner, New York jewellery
trader Eric Austein, airport police said.
Other people's jewels are "not what you earned," Sediqi told the Los Angeles Times. "Someone else earned that."
