today's dose of beauty

"Listen to the voice of the cedars when no wind stirs.
There you will find yourself."

this is a quote from Ping!, that story of a frog. i even found the picture that the author mentions in the epilogue. anyway, i was reading that book and this quote was just so beautiful i had to have it. and of course i had to share it with you.

i haven't been blogging very regularly lately, for various silly reasons.. one of them being that i feel like i'm going through some sort of spiritual puberty or something, and that in itself is quite an emotional rollercoaster ride. you can imagine, you know? i guess one good thing about satisfying books is that they take you through the whole process to the breakthrough, and you gain something from that. but with blogs.. like this, like mine. i'm a living, breathing person and there's no way to know for sure how the story will end, or when. i definitely hope and plan for the best. but just the same, objectively speaking, there's no way of knowing for sure. plus, on the one hand, although the vast majority of the 6 billion people in the world don't even know i exist, there are people who do know me, and at times it simply isn't very wise to reveal your every vulnerability.

so that's where i'm at now...

although i suppose, in a way, it might be better for me to illustrate my spiritual angst in detail--so the reader can go through the pain with me and when the breakthrough comes, experience the breakthrough together. but for now i opt for waiting until the breakthrough and then telling the whole (complete) story.
so please bear with me until i have my breakthrough.. :o)
