tabular_rasaSome quotes I've encountered today:
"Ask yourself this; 'Are you a human being having a spiritual experience, or a spiritual being having a human experience?" -Wayne Dyer, PhD
Oh, I hope the latter. I feel like if human life were the peak of existence, that'd be a shaft of a deal. Human life has some great things about it, but I feel like there's got to be more-- and the best parts about being a human, to me, seem to be things that tap out of human-ness and tap into something higher.
"I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Probably unfortunately relevant, but not something I really wanted to think about, at least not yet /-:
I slept close to 12 hours yesterday. I went to bed between midnight and 1:00 am, and didn't wake up again until 1:00 pm today. It's really windy outside; there's little flurries, but they won't land because they're all going sideways, lol . . . Mom and I nearly got blown over (I ran into her, almost falling over O.o) because there was some huge gust; the radio says gusts are going up to 50 mph. It's also 19 degrees out-- with windchill, "feels like 2 degrees." Fun times.
Today I went grocery shopping and now am doing laundry. (I'm washing all my pants, so I'm wearing pants that I wore in junior year of high school, which look like "OMG LOOK HOW MUCH WEIGHT I LOST PANTS" because there's a couple inches between my belly and the pants, lol-- though part of that is because I wore looser clothing back then). I still have a lot to do before I leave, it's kind of flooring and I don't want to think about it too much, just take each day as it comes, or else I'll just get even more stressed out and I don't want to keep being so stressed out /-:
