I am not a gift...I am a surprise :)

Wonderfull
Soo perfect..it shows your feeling !..

"can you see the bird fly high?"

Whit that photo how can i look for a bird?

This would be worth painting and I can't paint. Dang.

I probably would have dropped the camera in the water!

Well? Or forget to take the lens cap off!

No, but I can be all thumbs under stress!

Well, there is that!

I like this poem very much.It is as something I like the best and it talk to me very well.To this beautiful poem the suitable it will be this flower.

I bow to my fate. I am a palidan of God. I am off on a rescue mission to Utah to get Sasha's boy back home. I will leave on Tuesday morning.

Thank you my dear friend.Now I'm Ok.I have send an e mail to you.Yes ,Yes,Yes,!!!!!!!I want a pair of the strong wings to be able to fly far away and high up in the sky. I would be very happy.Have you got a free pair of them???

Angel Wings are not free.... you earn them.... I guess I am working on mine. God keeps calling me to do stuff.

They don't have to be Angels wings .They can be the eagle's wings.Big and strong too.If I only will be able to fly high up above the lands ,mountains and seas.I would be happy and so. So big like of this eagle's.

Dao says that if you can learn to meditate, you will fly.

It is possible only in the fairy tales but not in the real life.So many people meditate but no one of them could and can fly.

Religion is a personal thing. I should not have brought it up.

That's right but you didn't touch me at all.WE are only talk of different imagined possibilities,nothing else.That's ok.

Ok.

OK,we can rest by the coffee.

Many thanks .I'm chosing these bigger ones.They look strong so they will carry me everywhere when I will only would like. This big kiss for them.

Based on my surface area to weight ratio, I guess I better go with the big one also!

What a change in the weather since last night. The sun is bright and almost no clouds.

Here is a ghost story from last night:

My uncle played his guitar at a Charity Benefit last night at the old Wealthy Street Theater here. While he was playing he looked out into the audience and thought he saw his dead wife Mary, in the third row! That theater was one of her favorite places when she was alive. Of cours when he looked again, there was nobody there.

i too want to fly,
no,i am not satisfied,
with imagining flight,
i want to take of and be light.

No need to want more: Your wish is granted, Yulia. Simply look at a gull sailing above the wavelets, then feel what that gull is feeling, then identify with the gull. Suddenly, you ARE in the air. The water is below you, and nothing lies between you and the waves, nothing but air. As you pump your wings, you ascend -- it is so easy! You turn towards the shoreline and spy a woman sitting on a park bench. She is looking at you. Suddenly, you forget who you are! You are sitting on a park bench, and you are looking at a gull that has suddenly forgotten how to fly.

I have actually had an experience somewhat similar to this.

We identify with our human bodies, and that identification is all that chains us to the ground. At times, however, that identification grows weak, and as it weakens, our chains dissolve.

Ok, I'll tell you the whole story. I used to live in Boston and walk along the riverbank where people would picnic in the grass. I looked out towards a rock in the water, but instead of seeing the rock, I projected my feelings towards the rock. I wanted to have the feel of the rock. Suddenly, I began to see the world "in three dimensions".

I had a friend who is an artist and an art instructor. I told him about the experience and he said that he finds it all the time: His students, raised on television, see the world as flat. But with effort, they can learn how to see depth.

The next day, I was walking along the river again. This time, I walked very slowly -- so slowly that others probably assumed I was on a psychedelic high. Keeping my eyes focused on a tree, for example, I would approach the tree very slowly. Moving slowly, I experienced depth and distance. More than that, I experienced the world as I experienced it as a child: There was no "Us and Them".

Finally, I sat on a park bench and looked out over the water. I saw the opposite shore in the distance. To get a feel for that distance, I projected myself onto the first wavelet, then the second, crossing the river wave by wave, step by step. Then I looked up at the clouds and felt their titanic size above me, far above me. Then I saw a gull. I felt the distance between myself and the gull, and then the distance between the gull and the water. What supported me? Only air!

Great

OR maybe bigger choices would be better.????

Hello Yulia --

I found something in the wikipedia article on Proprioception that relates to what I wrote above:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception
+(
the slow, focused movements of Tai Chi practice provide an environment, whereby the proprioceptive information being fed back to the brain stimulates an intense, dynamic "listening environment" to further enhance mind/body integration.[citation needed] Several studies have shown that the efficacy of these types of training is challenged by closing the eyes,[citation needed] because the eyes give invaluable feedback to establishing the moment-to-moment information of balance.
)+

This "listening environment" reminds me of what I experienced. As the article notes, the eyes should be open and focused, not closed.

Proprioception is one of the spiritual practices I list in my latest blog entry:

http://my.opera.com/NonZionist/blog/2009/12/04/spiritual-practice

But my experience of it goes way beyond the research mentioned in the wikipedia article. For example, for me, proprioception is not a one-way sense: It is a two-way process. As I listen to my body and my emotions, I am simultaneously exercising, holding, adjusting, relaxing, tensing, smoothing, etc.. So the picture I get is more like a metaphorical MRI or a vector diagram than an x-ray.

You are right, Yulia: The wikipedia article addresses only passive proprioception. I've written a new and very detailed blog post that focuses on active proprioception and neo-Platonic soul.

http://my.opera.com/NonZionist/blog/2009/12/05/proprioception

Here are the subheadings:
* Two-way flow of energy
* Active proprioception
* A laser for the mind/body
* Performing proprioception
* No force is needed
* Imagination is required
* Soul
* The hidden motivation for our self-destructive behavior
* Life without soul
* Distance and imagination
* What we are
* Good and evil
* How I discovered active proprioception

The experiment you describe reminds me of something similar I have experienced. I go into a room and my attention is grabbed by an attractive woman who is looking away. I stare at the back of her head. She realizes she is being watched and so she turns toward me, at which point I drop my gaze and walk away embarrassed. Question: How does she know she is being watched?

...on the other hand? Pass the wine bottle please?

Ah... precisely!

Yes it is true. Sometimes thinking the "big" thoughts gives me an headache.
