Blurred Vision

My eyes were cloudy I could not see
All around me there was such a mist
To find out what the trouble may be
I went along to see the optimist
He gave to me a riddle or two
And three candles which were green and blue
The candles he said were to light the way
While the riddles were there to fill the day
I was so happy I almost shouted
Some new ideas had already sprouted
I thanked him with a golden flower
We laughed together for half an hour

Trump is turning into a fearless super hero
Bullets would bounce off him.....
when he fights off the school shooters.

I don't know if that is a negative or Positive thought?

Ego trip

You'll never meet anyone as humble as me
I am also as modest as I can be
I really am the ideal human being
If you understood you would be agreeing

Two Kinds of Intelligence (Rumi)

There are two kinds of intelligence: One acquired,
as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts
from books and from what the teacher says,
collecting information from the traditional sciences
as well as from the new sciences.
With such intelligence you rise in the world.
You get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaining
information. You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always more
marks on your preserving tablets.
There is another kind of tablet, one
already completed and preserved inside you.
A spring overflowing its springbox. A freshness
in the center of the chest. This other intelligence
does not turn yellow or stagnate. It's fluid,
and it doesn't move from outside to inside
through the conduits of plumbing-learning.
This second knowing is a fountainhead
from within you, moving out.

From my InBox -

The practice of mindfulness unveils and reveals your essential Good Heart, because it dissolves and removes the unkindness or the harm in you. Only when you have removed the harm in yourself do you become truly useful to others. Through the practice, by slowly removing the unkindness and harm from yourself, you allow your true Good Heart, the fundamental goodness and kindness that are your real nature, to shine out and become the warm climate in which your true being flowers.

This is why I call meditation the true practice of peace, the true practice of nonaggression and nonviolence, and the real and greatest disarmament.

Did I mention this? -

I have been having weeeeird dreams lately but usually I forget most of the details.

In a recent dream, I am playing chess with Steve but it is while we are walking down a dimly lit street and the chessboard is being carried by two strangers!

And I think Steve was cheating!

Beats me what that all means.
