Mind Life Is Tranquility

More From Grenville Kleiser

Life is so great in its opportunities and possibilities, that you should rise confidently above the inevitable trifles incident to daily contact with the world. life is too precious to be sacrificed for the nonessential and transient. . . . ignore the inconsequential.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something. you disturb the air as you go forward, you disturb the dust, the ground. you trample upon things. when a whole society moves forward, this trampling is on a much bigger scale; and each thing that you disturb, each vested interest which you want to remove, stands as an obstacle.

Do not let trifles disturb your tranquility of mind. the little pin-pricks of daily life when dwelt upon and magnified, may do great damage, but if ignored or dismissed from thought, will disappear from inanition.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

And that taught me you can't have anything, you can't have anything at all. because desire just cheats you. it's like a sunbeam skipping here and there about a room. it stops and gilds some inconsequential object, and we poor fools try to grasp it - but when we do the sunbeam moves on to something else, and you've got the inconsequential part, but the glitter that made you want it is gone.

Underneath all civilization, ancient or modern, moved and still moves a sea of magic, superstition, and sorcery. perhaps they will remain when the works of our reason have passed away.
Moving Sea Civilization
Time is a topological manifold. it is a surface. events flow across it like water over land and like water flowing over land, when the land is flat, the water becomes reflective and moves slowly. when the landscape becomes disrupted, the water moves faster and chaotic attractors appear and new kinds of activity emerge and out of that new activity, there comes the new states that define the future.
