have no friends, no place, no nothing without her

??? Do you have any dreams? Do you have a life outside the relationship? Go to school? Work? Want to become an astronaut?

What I'm trying to say is live your own dream. Make something of yourself, never wait for someone to complete you. If you have a dream, you are cool.

So true.

Peace and Love has also become derogatory in the war-machine culture.

Thank you for this post. Plastic bags are one of the worst problems for our environment.

It's obvious that the people who decided to ban plastic bags did it for more than just a casual whim.

um - in the spirit of my original comment...

Fuck the Oil Companies. Forget the libertarian fantasies, I'm talking about right now. Get rid of all subsidies for Oil. Tax the oil bastards!

Thanks for your explanation, though.

I'm confused. The oil companies have property rights. If we make property rights stronger then they have the right to do anything they want.

The burden of proof would be on smaller land owners, without the help of federal investigations, and federal legal council, and federal suits...

Am I correct here? Or is there some libertarian magic I'm missing.

The obvious solution is to give more subsidies, tax breaks, and reduce regulations on the oil and gas industry... I'm sure the Teapublicans are working on just this solution.

I've taken probably 300 + trips back in the '60's. I used to deal it in S.F.

I discovered there is a point where acid didn't get me high anymore. I moved on to meditation which turned out to be very heavy mind-altering stuff.

I rediscovered MJ - has alot of depth to it, and still smoke.

Now 40 years later, I took a bunch of shrooms a few months ago and barely got high from them. Dunno why...

I read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%E2%80%93sum_game

But I don't see how that applies to meditation, or life. Does it mean that we all suffer? There is no balance, or there is balance?

confused... and what's with the OP not responding 7 hours after posting - other side of the planet asleep?

Be aware of the high/low tides. You don't want to get caught with no escape during a high tide against the cliffs.

Of course, walk south (wind at your back). You will either have 2 cars, or take the shuttle.

Great beach hike. Also some nice camping areas up on the bluff high above in the forests.

Sorry I didn't expand on that - you are correct. All I said on that was just let it flow without judgments.

Thoughts are like clouds in the sky, is always a good analogy. Just let them drift by without grasping, clinging, attachment. As you both mentioned - just noticing.

waltzfordebby · 3 months

'Beginning' meditators always think the goal is to quiet the mind. Nope.

Let your mind run amok. Take a good look. Let those thoughts scream, yell and jump all over the place. No matter what is happening inside your head, don't move your body, don't itch, or squirm. Just sit.

Yes, eventually it will get better - it will calm all by itself. In the afternoon your mind is still running the tape, the imprint of your thought-stream. You can't dissolve the thought-stream if you don't know what it is - just let it flow without judgments.

Also: fuck sports, nothing but tribalism manufactured through groups fighting to complete mundane ball oriented tasks

IMO better to let them act out these football fantasies then have those Neanderthals fight with real weapons. Instead of wars, let's let the leaders fight it out on some kind of sports field. Then the referees (UN?) can decide the outcome based on the score...

I've started packing out everything. Including double bagging my own shit. And, packing out the leftovers from meals. Not packing out my pee though...

Man, the Teapublicans really hate California.

The high-speed train would have been a great addition to California. Cars are killing us.

I would leave the toilet paper, and use the facial wipes instead. You can even use the wipes twice (face to ass, not reversed).

You should also take some marijuana on every camping trip.
