500 miles - Third Mile

 






But us, Jack and I, full of hormones, were happy. We were so happy that we had a room for us. We ran, we laughed, we screamed, we burst with joy.
We were so happy, Jack and I. Two kids. Two mad kids intoxicated by compulsive frenzy.
But the fortune, you know the fortune...that thing that has an agency over human affairs?...
I soon got pregnant and we needed more space, one room was nothing.
And Jack had a car accident and he lost his job.
...you know that thing that has an agency over human affairs? Yes, that was the Fortune.

How well-off do you think we'll be? I asked Jack.
Well, it's not so good, Kate. Won't have so much now. He said from the bed where he was recovering. Never mind, though, I will fix it.
Look, Jack, how much much will we have? And I sat next to him.
Well, you are not earning no more and I am down to sickness benefit, How much is that? Do you know? He asked me.
No, but it's not very much. I said again. And we have to get out of here, your brothers are coming out of the army. You know?
Yes, I know. But still, we have savings?
Yes, 30 pounds.
Oh my God!

So we moved to his sister's.
I was confident though and hoped because if it is true that Fortune is the arbiter of half of our actions, still leaves the other half of them, more or less, to be governed by us.
Shouldn't I?

Fasting to reconnect your "Self" to your body

If there is a discrepancy between yourself and the body, between what you are and what you don't feel you are in your body, then fast, because there is excess to remove in the body. Through the stratifications of fat, the material that alienates you is deposited in the body. Removing decades of fat you remove the "Self" from its impediments to be reconnected with the body. Start thinking about fasting and wait for the right moment. Your body has its own indicators; it will signal when it is the right time to start fasting. Fasting is not a mere physical fact. It is changing the spirit of a time that has become stranger to us and that lives in us in order to alienate us to ourselves. Impossible to fast, without implying a change of the inner spirit. Those who fasted in the Old Testament did so to invoke great changes in life. Jesus himself fasted for forty nights and forty days and after fasting he was ready and strong enough to resist the devil and was ripe for his minist...

The temple of youth

  The yearning for death is but a swift race seeking to curtail our tormented pace. There lies a sacredness in thy yearning toward the highest good wildly striving. Toss the gaze heavenward and grasp the truth! In death, we lie upon and cast the temple of youth.

Guardando l'Amore di una madre con le sue figlie

Siete fatte della stessa pasta Di stesso sangue e spirito apposta Create - e vivete il mondo unite. Solo voi vostra lingua capite. Io curioso vi guardo lontano. Altro universo vivo io e so invano di non essere voi e mi stupisco, ma la materia vostra oh capisco! E' fatta di altra tessitura, la mia invece è sfilacciatura, e in altro spazio e tempo ascoso sto relegato triste, invidioso.
