Impossible Possibilities-
I am a lover of questions. Inquisitive. I want to know and I want you to know I want to know.
I will always ask you why. Why why why.
Someone who I love, asked of me to surrender and ask, Why Not? instead of my usual, Why?
Why not? Why not today, it could be the absolute day of impossible possibilities to manifest.
..and I said, Okay. Okay..so I took his hand and walked..walked straight towards my possibilities of the day.

Fever Ray 'When I Grow Up'
must we grow up...

Jesus-
i have always been strangely attracted to Jesus. no. not in the religious, christian obsessive, major turn-off way...but more with a curiosity. who was he- really, beyond what men today and yesterdays have summed up.
i can't help but admit this attraction stems from an innate way that cannot be justified with any form of logic. it is definitely produced from a place beyond my physical self, not outer space ...but maybe in a previous life time sort of way...
whatever Jesus was, or had inside his heart and mind...is what people are searching for, God.
so- it may seem, that God is within you and me.
so- it may seem, that God is within you and me.
is this going to start some controversy?
i can live without the latest fashion, the idealized lifestyle of man made things...
but i cannot live without love.
but i cannot live without love.
when i think of the word love, no rational definition comes to mind. because it is not mind created, or so i think.
love is a feeling, and the feeling expands when we share it with people and yes, even animals.
but feelings are fleeting...this poses an inconsistency..probably within ourselves.
has this love of God, a somewhat esoteric idea or imagination in which we believe in, hope to be more like...misconstrue our perception of love?
we are naturally attracted to people who triggers a feeling within, not on the surface, but in a way that pokes in the inside, maybe inside the insides we weren't so clearly aware even existed...
to awaken us. to shift the deeper parts we were not ready to meet, nor face, nor commit to.
maybe that is what heart break sometimes is.
maybe that is what heart break sometimes is.
i believe Love is essentially God...therefore God is Love. so if you are sharing Love, you are sharing God. perhaps the most intrinsic part of our existence.
we don't need to start wars and ruckus over this truth. such conflicts are usually ego inspired
...and my own definition of sin means to be without...so if you are without Truth, living without Truth, you are then sinning. and no, you will not go to hell, because hell is a self created entity, it is not a place to visit during holiday.
if there is no Truth which resides in you, then this is definitely some food for thought.
"What is absolutely true is always correct, everywhere, all the time, under any condition. An entity's ability to discern these things is irrelevant to that state of truth." - Steven Robiner

How do Greeks view love?
like any western country, i would say that most people view love opportunistically, if the other person fits their plans, they think that they can love them, but that is NOT true love. it is conditional love and mostly the feeling of security that they receive from their partners.
..........
I have known Harry for several years now, and hopefully I will visit him in Greece one day soon..
and then i can get his real answers via eye contact ;)
Some of the greatest love stories of all time derive from Greek mythology..
Paris & Helena
Recounted in Homer's Iliad, the story of Helen of Troy and the Trojan War is a Greek heroic legend, combining fact and fiction. Helen of Troy is considered one the most beautiful women in all literature. She was married to Menelaus, king of Sparta. Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, fell in love with Helen and abducted her, taking her back to Troy. The Greeks assembled a great army, led by Menelaus's brother, Agamemnon, to retrieve Helen. Troy was destroyed. Helen returned safely to Sparta, where she lived happily with Menelaus for the rest of her life.
Orpheus & Eurydice
Orpheus and Eurydice story is an ancient greek tale of desperate love. Orpheus fell deeply in love with and married Eurydice, a beautiful nymph. They were very much in love and very happy together. Aristaeus, a Greek god of the land and agriculture, became quite fond of Eurydice, and actively pursued her. While fleeing from Aristaeus, Eurydice ran into a nest of snakes which bit her fatally on her legs. Distraught, Orpheus played such sad songs and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus traveled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone (he was the only person ever to do so), who agreed to allow Eurydice to return with him to earth on one condition: he should walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world. In his anxiety he forgot that both needed to be in the upper world, and he turned to look at her, and she vanished for the second time, but now forever.
Odysseus & Penelope
Few couples understand sacrifice quite like this Greek pair. After being torn apart, they wait twenty long years to be reunited. War takes Odysseus away shortly after his marriage to Penelope. Although she has little hope of his return, she resists the 108 suitors who are anxious to replace her husband. Odysseus is equally devoted, refusing a beautiful sorceress' offer of everlasting love and eternal youth, so that he might return home to his wife and son.
Can you live grand enough to create & share your own love story?
