Hi Fellow Observers

[roadscholar]

I'll be contributing for a while until I hit the road again at the end of March.

Over the past couple of days I couldn't get through and got a message that I wasn't allowed to participate on the Forum. This didn't strike me as odd because I am one of those people who gets kicked out of places for telling my version of the truth, as loud as possible. In December of 1999 I "celebrated" my deportation from the USA after I blew the whistle on an environmental issue in one of the jails in Las Vegas.

On Aug. 24, 2006 my house burned down in Vancouver due to the negligence of a drunken neighbor. It also happened to be the day when scientists demoted Pluto to the status of dwarfplanet. The Bobby McGee song by B.Dylan "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" comes to mind when describing my situation, inside as well as out. There isn't much left for me to whine about so, maybe, my path leads me to assisting others in their quest of letting go, before the Big Bang hits us all. Just speculating here, and hoping I come across with a bit of humor. It's about the only intangible that keeps me hanging onto my sanity.

G'day Roadscholar,

If you have nothing to lose, no-one can have a hold on you.

YOUR GREATEST GIFT IS FROM INSIDE,
IT'S A BEAUTY TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE,
FROM LOVE YOU CANNOT HIDE,
'CAUSE YOUR SOUL SHINES LIKE THE SUN.

With LOVE.

[i am all i am]

I'VE HEARD YOUR CALL

I'VE HEARD YOUR CALL,
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
I'VE HEARD YOUR CALL,
TO GIVE YOU LIGHT.

SOMETIMES IT'S DARK,
WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND,
NO SPIRITUAL SPARK,
NO FRIEND TO BE FOUND.

SO LOOK WITHIN,
FOR THE LIGHT TO FIND,
YOUR TRIP TO BEGIN,
WITH LOVE IN YOUR MIND.

AND THEN YOU WILL SEE,
THE LIGHT OF YOUR HEART,
AND KNOW ETERNALLY,
FROM LOVE DID YOU START.

FOR YOU ARE THE LIGHT,
THAT SHINES FROM INSIDE,
A SPIRIT IN FLIGHT,
YOUR LOVE IS SUPPLIED.


With LOVE.

Not such a bad place to be (and yes I have been there) . It certainly helps you to sort out your priorities. When you lose everything that people think is so important, you realise that they mean zippo. And it is freedom, freedom from the shackles that bind us to the material aspects of this very materialistic world. They can't take away your sense of humour or your feeling of self worth. Of course you can give them away but it doesn't sound like that is about to happen :p
