In order for the pictures to align properly at least one line of thext is required for this chapter to stay in shape. Yes, the moon was huge but so where some other occasions as well. Those moments on the other hand required some effort to happen. The feeling of being one step behind, out of synch, comes with desire and craving. Must it truly be done in order for you to feel fulfilled? Promises. hah.

Night in a bar. Coffee.  Snow falling. Snow melting. Mouse clicking. A project. Fun. Challenge. Where is one memory card? Bad posture. Gym ball. Cause and effect. If you could plant the tree again, would you let it grow straight?

The link at the end of this post  to preview and order the book is valid for maybe 30 days from this date. The price of the book is ridiculously expensive and none of it goes to my account. Also the paper used in the book is not excellent so the quality varies from good to mediocre. To make this all a bit more difficult I think the book can only be ordered if you live in Finland. Tricky.

Can you still hear the birds singing or the fan of your computing humming. Or are you trying pick up the pace so you get to your next task and goal in life?

Does every single person in the world have to become rich and famous and powerful, and at the same time consume half of the planet, to understand that those things have nothing to do with happiness. We are facing a massive destruction of our species, and other species as well, and yet we keep believing that “happily ever after” idea that we picked from all the children books and Hollywood movies. There are no surfers, bankers, politicians, champions and loosers. There are only concentrations of cells, atoms, vibrations and electricity that keeps these linked entities together.

The new summer/spring 2012 collection doesn’t change what you are. The created need and the manufacturing of the collection however does change the environment for seasons to come, and eventually us along with it. The cycle of desires keeps getting shorter with our attention span. We have too much information and no idea what to do with it except make new laws that are suppose to keep those rising desires under control. Trusting someone else to tell us what is good, bad, right and wrong, is limiting our potential of growing as self aware human beings that do not need to be told these things. We already know but choose to ignore.

The laws of nature are simple. A seed grows into a tree. Your desire for a sweet mango tree is pointless if you planted an oil palm. Plant something new. Wake up.

If we just keep reacting to things we will always be just passengers. Determination and persistency can lead to action. It’s the intention that matters. Don’t lie to yourself.
