Visited the forest gallery ... and those mountain ash develop from seeds as small as sugar grains! ... we think it 'mazing ... :)

Had a curious thought on the bus today ... I could be my OWN grandmother ... before you call for the goon squad, consider this: my father's mother was very ill and died just before I was born ... makes you wonder ...

- phasmatid canterbury bary dowling (yep - one 'r' in his name)

- oh yes, check the ABC site & 'computer help' for info on the KLEZ (spelling?) virus - sounds like a NASTY one ... click - it ought 2b updated at some stage ...

- Ash Dargan (Primal Stomp)

On the train this morning, reading over an old notebk ... hmm, some stuff I'd forgotten about ... such as ...

Free healing offer - ah, but is the message still available on that message board (I'm offline as I tap out today's scribbles) ... plus quite a few of the links in that myths file ...

Plus this page ... and 'those who do not have your best interest at heart' ... hmmm

More emails in the evening ... the latest storm in a teacup ... and the huge irony is the person giving it the least amount of 'analysis' or taking it to heart would be the Daily Lama himself, once you truly 'let go' any such fuss is all just a bit of a laugh ...

{Oops, typed the above assuming I could find a link - basically a lot of hullaballoo about whether the Dalai Lama will receive an 'official' welcome from the Lord Mayor ... who just happens to be of Chinese descent ... then I wandered over 2 the ABC site and they have a little piece - click}

{It all kinda reminds me of a little page I was revisiting quite recently ... click here }

Today's mantra: "I was walking towards the forest just the other day, when a man came over and this is what he had to say. He said you'll play the fool for 47 years and then you'll get drunk and have a few beers."

Today's mantra: "My life has suddenly become an audiovisual experience"

From yesterday ... this search not enormously useful (in identifying the original offer ...)

This was also in yesterday's paper ...

There was also an excellent article on stick insects & their eggs (which were described as: 'Its eggs, under the micrsoscope, are intricately decorated urns with lids, and the lids have knobs! they look like what they are - things of magic ...') but I can't find an online equivalent ... oh well ...

Here's a little search I did after readin the article ...

Quote of the day: "King Solomon has split his last baby for the day. You're just going to have to settle this amongst yourselves." :)

Buddha's Smile - a part of my latest little web page (not ready yet, you'll just have 2b patient)

And here 'tis ... click ... still could be tweaked a bit but it's worth a visit & a click or three on the 'random' button ...

- Interesting story on 'hacktivists' ... esp the ETOY vs ETOYS 'war' ... cyber protest ...

- Tasmania Napoleon roses

Great e-card ... click ... and other albums by ana6171 ...

Buddha Park ... I particularly like this image ... :)

More nice images ... plus here as well ...

Here's a few candles ...

Interesting search

Details on that etoys 'war' ...

Dancing ant - may take a while 2 load ... :)

{And phenomenal timing given journal entries for later in the afternoon ... }

Webshots acting up a little (it thinks I'm 'Gemma' and thus won't allow me to add 2 albums owned by 'Geoff Allen' ...) so ... click for the shot I mentioned yesterday (with the interesting shadow patterns). Clicking on the image enlarges it but I kinda like it reduced ...

Meanwhile, on another glorious avo, I mow the lawn and shortly after taking this image, I watched some tiny ants, whose home I must have distrubed by my mowing ... they were like one or two millimetres ... amazing little critters ...

I went back like maybe 10 or 15 mins or so later & the ants was nowhere 2b seen ...

Yesterday had to bid adieu to one of my angelfire files ... though I do have very different views on 'ownership' & 'copyright' etc ... I mean UNTIL I saw the book mentioned in someone's list of all-time favourites, I didn't even know it existed ... and I know
4 sure of at least one person who purchased the book due to reading my online
excerpts ... oh well, click here

Yanomami wisdom - yeah, some interesting quotes from their 'chief' on that episode ... something about if you work 'against the earth' you will get 'sick in the head' ... can't really argue with that! ...

The Earth has no brother

Yes, their chief made oodles more sense than the current leader of the most 'powerful' nation on earth ... (or any of his predecessors in recent memory) ...

Quote of the day:

"Let's not forget why you left her in the first place. You were tired of groveling."
"Yes, but I'm well rested now."

The Dreaming pool

Page about healing ... includes some Yanomami thoughts ... {amongst many otters}

Click here - once I type it all up ... some intrstin odds & ends ... :)

Including some old stuff ... & a story from today's 'Age' ... and another Leunig ... and oh yes, the Daily Lama is coming to Melbourne! ... I think it's www.dalailama.org.au ... a 'free' public talk at the tennis centre ... I wonder what kind of crowd will roll up for that ... :)

Malcolm Horton's art is excellent - I seen his name on a dolphin poster the other day ... :)

Also from yesterday ...

There was also some mention of 'An investigation into the effect of diverse music styles on plantlife' ... :)

Online magic ??

Also in this morn's emails ... a couple of quotes from cwg 3, which I aint read yet ...

No experience is visited upon any soul against the soul's will. (140)

Glorify what you are today yet do not condemn what you were yesterday, nor preclude what you could become tomorrow. (140)

Could be worth plugging into our favourite search engine ...

{One could refine it further by adding Neale Walsch to the search parameters}

Hey! ... just found the exact image seen on that poster a coupla days ago ... click :)

Ah ... he also has e-cards ... :)

Today's mantra: "We toss the word love around quite a lot ... as if we're sure of what it is and what it's not ..."

{This mantra could also be the start of a poem ... it popped into my head as I walked along down by the creek this evening ... something else about treating everyone the same ... and disregarding their given name ... for further clues/ideas etc you could read this or this ... also something about unconditional worth ... and the realm before birth ... }

{For more clues as to what it's not - try listening to the lyrics of most pop songs over the past 20 years or so ... or most romantic movies ... etc. etc.}

Today's mantra: "Come on, Mum, don't work yourself into a frenzy. Remember what the Buddha says. Don't worry about the normal TILLYWINKLES. Just focus your mind upon the jam as it sprinkles ... and upon the star as it twinkles ..."

More interesting emails from yesterday ... one 'fan' who read one of my many pieces on the current state of psychiatry and its flimsy basis in reality ... :)

Yes ... I do seem 2b very popular with those who are living (way) beyond the fringes of normal society ...

That had me taking another look at this page as well as this one ...

Click here for a bit of a laugh ...

Had a fresh look at this page ... esp the quotes down the bottom ... :)

Another fun activity 4 a rainy afternoon ...

Very interesting episode of Compass last night ... all about Sodom & Gomorrah and a yellow submarine exploring the floor of the Dead Sea - some very surreal images ...

Also last night a little bit of wisdom ...

- Gomorrah 16th century map - NASA photos space shuttle (dead sea)

- Carolyn Kizer (poem)

- neurotransmitters diagram (painting)

Some nice images

Updated and amended a few links in the Leunig file ... :)

Along the way found a few more to include ... like this page ... which includes a shorter variant on that joke the bus driver told us on the journey from Dandenong to Brisbane ... click :)

More versions?

Huge directory of cartoonsits ... no mention of Ron Cobb though ... :)

Gary Larson does get a bit of a mention ...

Whitehaven image ... 'copyright' ... one day humanity will shed such silly notions ... I mean 4 a guy who supposedly believes in a vast God, it's kinda odd ... click :)

Yeah, like a number of our 'laws ... one has to ask 'where's the harm' ... :)

Yet it is kinda hard to imagine what 'society' would be like if we all suddenly let go of the whole concept of 'ownership' ...

Found this page today whilst looking for more Leunig images ... click ... also has some fancy crop circles ... :)

Ona day 4 re-visiting pages ... Dr Fun ... interesting timing given my afternoon's apointment ... :)

Just back from the morning's shopping ... and that huge gum tree in the school grounds is in full flower (no doubt due to this phenomenal burst of warmth in May, with 4 of the past 5 days reaching 25 celsius or higher) ... pity my camera aint too flash on close-ups ... you'll just have to imagine a swarm of busy bees hovering around flowers like this except that they are white as snow rather than red ... a good workout for the old grey cells ... :)

So I did a little bit of a search ...

The bees were very keen - one had his/her entire head deep inside the flower ... little wonder plants do so well using such pollinators :)

Today's mantra: "I want to say things to people but I can never seem to find the right words and so they usually think I'm a bit of a nut but that doesn't really bother me all that much apart from the odd occasion where I allow it to get under my skin but even that can be very useful feedback."

More interesting emails from yesterday ... on utopias ... the process of dying ... the fact we rarelt discuss it ... yet, speaking personally, even when I was trying real hard to be an atheist, I used to try to imagine that moment of passing from existence & awareness into what I presumed would be non-existence & obviously non-awareness and it bent my mind. :)

From yesterday ... some interesting reviews ... :)

... I probly shouldn't ... but it is another classic example of 'eye of the beholder' ... and one has 2 wonder is the 'message' of Lao Tzu has been fully absorbed if one is left with a need to attack/deride/belittle/mock someone else's point of view simply because it fails to coincide with one's own present view or understanding ...

Today's mantra: "I'm telling myself a few things and I'm wondering if there's another famous story about life"

- shale fossil resin (Messel pit)

-

From yesterday's emails ... a quote that sounds vaguely familiar ...

"...I was driving north to meet some friends when I suddenly became aware that I was driving through myself. For years there had been no self at all, yet here on this road, everything was myself, and I was driving through me to arrive where I already was. In essence, I was going nowhere because I was everywhere already. The infinite emptiness I knew myself to be was now apparent as the infinite substance of everything I saw."

A few sites emerged from a quick search ... one of which (the third one listed) looks somehwat familiar ... {perhaps linked to that 'Enlightenment 101' site??}

The rest of that site is worth potterin around as well ... including a 'contiuous story' which could do with a few more contributors ... :)
