I know you're home
You left your light on
You know I'm here
The night is thin
I know you're alone
I watched the car leave
Your lover is gone
Let me in
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more
I know your friend
You told her about me
She filled you with fear
Some kind of sin
How can you turn
Denying the fire
Lover I burn
Let me in
Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more
I know you're confused
I know that you're shaken
You think we'll be lost
Once we begin
I know you're weak
I know that you want me
Lover don't speak
Let me in

Something more
I don't think that I can tell you what this means to me
But here I am, it's so hard to believe
That I'm standing here, that I've come this far
But you always said, have faith in who you are
I wanna take this time to thank you for the love you gave
from this moment, you've got to know
I never wanted something more, and never felt so sure,
'Cause now I've got this chance to be, everything you saw in me
And even more than I ever dreamed before,
As long as you are here with me, I know that I can be something more
Looking back now it's so clear to me,
That you were sent to shape my destiny
'Cause there were times when I was ready to walk away,
But you gave me strength to face another day
I wanna take this time to thank you for the love you gave
And from this moment, you've got to know
I reaching for the sky, won't let this chance go by
I've waited all my life for something more,
And now's the time you're gonna see,
From this moment you've got to know
You make me want to be something more
You make me want to be something more

Better man
Bein' here without you
Is something I can't stand
'Cause everything about you
Has left me a broken man
I imagine us together
But I see that we're apart
Sometimes I wonder whether
You can mend this broken heart
Now I've opened
Up my eyes
I was blind but now I see
Realizin' that you're
Deep inside of me
Oh Lord knows what I do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
Be a better man
Get down on my knees
Just to make you see
I'd do anything for the
Love you bring
Well I've tried yes I've tried
And I know what I am
But I'm doin' the best that I can
Just to be a better man
Just to be a better man
So Mother Mary help me
Gotta help me make it through
To conquer this addiction
The addiction that is you
But it'd be easier, if baby
You'd come in my arms tonight
Knowin' you are there
I wouldn't face the fight
Just to be a better man
Tell me what I have to do
'Cause I want to be with you
Just to be a better man
Tell me what I've got to do
So that you'd
Come back to me
Now I've opened
Up my eyes
I was blind but now I see
Realizin' you are deep
Inside of me
Oh Lord knows what I'd do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
Be a better man

Just to make you see
I'd do anything for the love
You bring
Lord knows what I do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand

And I know what I am

Treasure
Give me all, give me all, give me all your attention baby
I got to tell you a little something about yourself
You're wonderful, flawless, ooh you're a sexy lady
But you walk around here like you wanna be someone else

Oh girl im gonna show you when you're mine, oh mine

Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl you should be smiling
A girl like you should never live so blue

Begin again
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
But I do, I do
Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do
And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do
And we walked down the block, to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I want to talk about that
And for the first time
What's past is past
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

Shattered
In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town,
another everything
But it's always back to you
Stumble out in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you
But I'm good without ya
Yeah I'm good without you
How many times can I break til I shatter?
Over the line, can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break; let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time
But I'm shattered
I always turn the car around
I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you
Give it up, give it up Baby
Give it up, give it up now, now
How many times can I break til I shatter?
Over the line, can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time
But its time that I'm wasting
I always turn the car around
How many times can I break til I shatter?
Over the line, can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

Just give me a reason
Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep
Things you never say to me
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
Oh, we had everything
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
Yeah, but this is happenin'
You've been havin' real bad dreams
You used to lie so close to me
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Vivre dans les extrêmes
Je vis dans les extrêmes. Tout ou rien. J'aime, j'aime pas. Je me donne entièrement ou je ne donne absolument rien. J'ai une légère tendance bi-pôle et je le sais.
Les gens choisissent de m'aimer ou non. Avec moi c'est comme ça. C'est dans mon ADN, c'est plus fort que ce que je peux contrôler. Plusieurs m'aiment profondément, d'autres me détestent foncièrement. Je vis bien avec ça. Selon son vécu, on s'accorde avec certains plus qu'avec d'autres. Moi-même je vis ces sentiments partagés envers ma personne. Je suis capable d'énormément de culpabilité, et en même temps j'apprécie vraiment être la femme que je suis. Assez ironique.
Je n'adhère pas au mode de vie actuel de la société, je ne me sens pas de ce monde. Je suis trop, et pas assez. Je suis différente. Je n'accepte pas. Je ne comprends pas. Je me sens persécutée.
Je devrais être plus tempérée, la vie serait beaucoup plus douce. Mais aurait-elle la même saveur ?

Heaven
Thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah - I'll be standin' there by you
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe

And love is all that I need

Attitude et séduction
Certaines personnes l'ont en eux, tout simplement. On l'a ou on ne l'a pas. On l'a pour une certaine tranche de la société qui a juste, ou carrément un crush pour nous. Je parle de l'attitude. À son état naturel, brut, non joué. Amplement plus séductrice que la plupart des qualités qu'on puisse avoir pour jouer le jeu.
La beauté dans ce dont où je veux en venir, c'est que les humains ne sont pas tous attirés par les mêmes êtres les uns que les autres. Par chance, sinon on s'entretueraient passionnément pour les mêmes hommes, pour les mêmes femmes sous le soleil. Là entre en jeu l'intéressant de la situation... Personne ne veut que toute la ville ne tombe pour son homme, non ? L'attitude des uns charme certains et non d'autres. À chacun son attitude favorite chez le sexe opposé.
Près de sept milliards de personnes sur terre en deux mille treize. Nous ne sommes pas faits pour vivre qu'avec une précise et seule personne sur la terre. Par chance. L'endroit où on naît aura toujours aux alentours une personne avec qui on pourra s'accommoder pour une période plus ou moins longue. Se reproduire ou non. Apprendre et évoluer. Aimer et vouloir s'établir. Ne plus aimer et vouloir aimer à nouveau. Bâtir tranquillement le passé qu'on aura tant désiré.
La séduction va bien au-delà d'une personne physique, bien que la société essaie tellement de nous démontrer l'inverse. L'attitude remporte haut-la-main la guerre pour les cœurs. Et c'est la face cachée du véritable amour.

How To Handle Difficulties With People
From the mystical viewpoint, there is no such thing as difficulties with other people; the only difficulty is within ourselves. We need only to clear our own psychological confusion; then, that inner clarity enables us to handle anything coming from the outside. On the human level we may find others to be troublesome and disloyal, but, if our essential self dwells on the spiritual level, we cannot be injured. Like this:
“I suppose I’m too sensitive, but how can I prevent people from hurting my feelings.”?
“No one on earth can hurt you, unless you accept the hurt in your own mind. What if you are offered a sour apple but refuse to take it? To whom does the sourness belong? As the false sense of self falls away, so does your acceptance of the sour apples of criticism and unkindness from others. The problem is not other people; it is your reaction.”
Let’s see how increased insight changes our attitudes and, thereby, lessens our difficulties with others. Our awakened awareness reveals that nobody is really as happy as we previously thought. We see through the masks that people wear; we see how hard they work to convince themselves and others that all is well. It’s all an act, and how clearly we realize it. Their nervous social and business pursuits, and their empty amusements, no longer fool us. We know they wake up the next morning with dread of the day.
We understand all this because we have first seen through our own pretenses. They are repeating the very same wearisome stage performance that used to keep us so tired.
This completely alters our viewpoints and relations. We are no longer critical or envious. Our previous envy sprang from the illusion that others had more out of life that we, but we know better. We see them as secret sufferers, just as we used to be. Seeing this, we can no longer think or act harshly toward them. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once remarked that if we could see the concealed sorrows of others’ we would be very tender toward them.
We forgive them as we forgive ourselves. Our new gentleness toward ourselves can now extend itself freely to others.
And now we understand something for the first time, something previously blocked by pride and vanity: Love is not of the human self, but of the Supreme within us. This makes us smile for a dozen reasons; one, being that we need no longer work at love; we need only rest in the Supreme, which is love itself.
From this lofty height, various expressions of love among people, including affection, drift down.
A world of weary people yearns for affection. What a sadly needed form of love affection is, whether it be a cheery word, or an understanding nod, or a touch of the hand. Rich people would gladly give up their treasures for this precious jewel. Those with power and prestige would exchange everything for someone with whom they could experience the affectionate way of life.
Exchange of affection between two people, perhaps man and woman, is possible only when both possess the capacity. It cannot be one-sided. A person capable of giving genuine affection will also be able to receive it, for they are two parts of the single ability, just as a wave advances and recedes.
Affection grows naturally as we awaken to our true nature.

Instinct maternel
Je me suis souvent plainte de mon statut de maman dans les 3 dernières années... avec raison !! Aujourd'hui je réalise qu'un trésor dormait au fond de moi, latent.
Lorsqu'on découvre la femme en nous, au-delà d'un égoïsme légitime et non-négatif, c'est un tout autre monde qui s'ouvre devant nous. Je ne me suis jamais caché avoir trouvé difficile la maternité et ce, concernant mes deux enfants. La perte temporaire de liberté est horrible. Peu de gens se l'avouent. Moi si.
Aujourd'hui en cette journée de mai, suite à un total et délicieux moment de liberté, tout ce à quoi je rêvais en revenant chez moi était de voir mes enfants. L'instinct maternel est puissant. L'amour maternel est déroutant. Parce que même si j'ai un esprit libertin, je ne peux absolument pas me passer de mes enfants. De prendre soin d'eux. De veiller sur eux.
Le rôle d'une mère, c'est de prendre soin de son foyer, des précieuses personnes qui y logent. Le rôle d'une maman, c'est de veiller à ce que personne de ceux qu'elle aime ne manque de rien. Cette constatation aujourd'hui a été une espèce de révélation éclatante à mes yeux.
Parfois je boude ma vie, mes choix limitants, mon rôle, les possibilités oubliées.... mais d'autres fois je me dis que je suis absolument sur mon X. Ce fameux X que tout le monde recherche.
L'instinct maternel est d'une puissance inégalée. Et c'est tout.

Love this pain
She's no good for me
I know that she's a wild flower
She's got a restlessness
A beautifulness, a thing about her
But here I am again calling her back
Letting her drive me crazy
It's like I love this pain a little too much
Love my heart all busted up
Something 'bout her, we just don't work
But I can't walk away
It's like I love this pain
It's just an on again
And off again situation
It's just striking a match
A tank of gas combination
But here I am again lighting it up
Knowing that she'll just burn me
It's like I love this pain a little too much
Love my heart all busted up
Something 'bout her, we just don't work
But I can't walk away
It's like I love this pain
It's like I love this life
When nothing's right, yeah something's wrong
It's like I'm just not me
If I can't be a sad, sad song
It's like I love this pain a little too much
Love my heart all busted up
Something 'bout her, we just don't work
But I can't walk away
It's like I love this pain
Oh yeah, it's like I love this pain
I can't walk away, oh no
It's like I love this pain

Dualité de la liberté
J'ai besoin de liberté. De beaucoup de liberté.
J'ai soif de liberté.
Avoir de jeunes enfants, c'est mettre en veille sa vie personnelle. C'est faire beaucoup de sacrifices. C'est faire un don de soi, de sa vie. C'est mettre temporairement sa liberté au rancart. Avoir de jeunes enfants, c'est payer le fort prix de sa liberté pour quelques années.
Si la vie avait décidée pour moi que je ne pourrais pas avoir d'enfants, c'aurait été probablement le pire deuil que j'aurais eu à faire de toute ma vie. C'aurait été un cheminement psychologique absolument cruel à affronter.
Quand on est jeunes, on veut bâtir, fonder, se stabiliser. Puis parfois lorsqu'on a enfin atteint le niveau de sécurité tant désiré, on envie le temps où tous les choix étaient encore à notre portée. Le temps où régnait la liberté. On est des éternels insatisfaits, nous les humains.
Trois ans et demie après m'être embarquée tête première dans la superbe aventure qu'est de donner la vie, j'ai soif de ma liberté. Et même si je recommencerais absolument l'expérience puisque je n'aurais jamais été capable de renoncer à l'idée d'être maman, j'ai hâte de me glisser à nouveau dans les bras d'une vie un peu plus libre.
La plupart des femmes regrettent que leurs enfants ne soit plus petits, moi je mettrai bientôt cette rude partie de ma vie derrière moi.
La liberté goûte divinement bon. Et le fait d'être maman aussi... :)

If i knew then
The first time that I saw you, looking like you did
We were Young we were restless
Just two clueless kids
But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
You're on a bus in chicago, three rows to the left
You know my heart is reaching for you
But we never even met
If I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
Cause love only comes once in a while
Knocks on your door and throws you a smile
Takes every breath, leaves every scar
Speaks through your soul and sings to your heart
But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
On a summer night in august
Backseat of my car
Said I'm trying to get to know you
I took it way to far
But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
I used up a lot of chances
But you give them back
But if again it comes crawling
Im gonna make it last
If I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love

De bons et de mauvais jours
La vie est un flot continuel de bons et de mauvais jours. Je me demande parfois si la personne moyenne vis ses jours de la façon dont moi je peux les vivre. Je suis très curieuse à propos de cette question mais je ne pourrai malheureusement jamais en connaître la juste réponse. Suis-je la seule à vivre en montagnes russes ? Suis-je seule à passer du bonheur à la tristesse, et vice versa, aussi facilement ?
Toujours à la recherche de sensations fortes, de l'intensité du moment, de rentabiliser la vie, de vivre pleinement, de profiter de la jeunesse, d'avoir l'impression de ne pas être passé à côté de rien à l'heure fatale. L'avidité, la soif de la vie a ses bons et ses moins bons côtés. La mesure de chacun d'eux est parfois difficile à doser. Il y a de grandes joies, des regrets, des évènements passionnants, des peines. Du bon, du moins bon.
Certains jours sont parfaits, d'autres sont difficiles à porter. Jouir de ses bons choix, vivre avec le lourd poids de ses moins bons.
Telle est la vie sous le soleil. Personne n'y échappe.

The importance of rebellion
Is rebellion bad?
Hell, rebellion is what America was founded on. Rebellion is the thinking man’s resistance to persuasive training and coercive manipulation. Rebellion is often viewed as a socially irresponsible fad. Sure, some teenagers mistake true rebellion for a manner of dress, but in realities, it is much, much deeper.
Rebellion is not anti for the sake of anti. Rebellion is anti for the sake of legitimate defiance. The rebellious mind is often the only force capable of parting the smokescreens, which cloud the minds of the hoodwinked sheep. It takes a loud roaring voice of dissidence to snap sheep out of their hypnotic trances. Rebellion is usually nothing more than the expressions of the rare few who are actually paying attention.
Rebellion is not found in a national chain store. Sure, there are some symbols, which imply, “I am not like you, nor do I choose to be.” But a rebel is deeper than any symbol, or external facade. A true rebel is one who stands defiant with a reason, not a social season. Genuine rebellion is not a growing phase, it’s not a particular manner of dress, it’s a mindset.
A real rebel prefers true enemies to false friends. He prefers to be hated for his convictions than to be loved for his submission. He prefers blood-stained swords to gold-plates shackles. A rebel is often a person who stands tall and firm rather than bends out of convenience. The true rebel prefers the crown of ostracism to the noose of obedience. A revel is simply someone who follows his own path, not that which is popular, socially acceptable, or currently fashionable.
Rebellion is not simply a word. Rebellion is our actions, our attitude, and our outlook.

Hurt
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were
But I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done, forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do to have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you

Why love is painful
Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms; love is mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new. The old is familiar, secure, safe, the new is absolutely unknown. You will be moving in an uncharted ocean. You cannot use your mind with the new; with the old, the mind is skillful. The mind can function only with the old; with the new, the mind is utterly useless.
Hence, fear arises, and leaving the old, comfortable, safe world, the world of convenience, pain arises. It is the same pain that the child feels when he comes out of the womb of the mother. It is the same pain that the bird feels when he comes out of the egg. It is the same pain that the bird will feel when he will try for the first time to be on the wing.
The fear of the unknown, and the security of the known, the insecurity of the unknown, the unpredictability of the unknown, makes one very much frightened.
And because the transformation is going to be from the self towards a state of no-self, agony is very deep. But you Cannot have ecstasy without going through agony. If the gold wants to be purified, it has to pass through fire.
Love is fire.
It is because of the pain of love, millions of people live a loveless life. They too suffer, and their suffering is futile. To suffer in love is not to suffer in vain. To suffer in love is creative; it takes you to higher levels of consciousness. To suffer without love is utterly a waste; it leads you nowhere, it keeps you moving in the same vicious circle.
The man who is without love is narcissistic, he is closed. He knows only himself. And how much can he know himself if he has not known the other, because only the other can function as a mirror? You will never know yourself without knowing the other. Love is very fundamental for self-knowledge too. The person who has not known the other in deep love, in intense passion, in utter ecstasy, will not be able to know who he is, because he will not have the mirror to see his own reflection.
Relationship is a mirror, and the purer the love is, the higher the love is, the better the mirror, the cleaner the mirror. But the higher love needs that you should be open. The higher love needs you to be vulnerable. You have to drop your armor; that is painful. You have not to be constantly on guard. You have to drop the calculating mind. You have to risk. You have to live dangerously. The other can hurt you; that is the fear in being vulnerable. The other can reject you; that is the fear in being in love.
The reflection that you will find in the other of your own self may be ugly; that is the anxiety. Avoid the mirror. But by avoiding the mirror you are not going to become beautiful. By avoiding the situation you are not going to grow either. The challenge has to be taken.
One has to go into love. That is the first step towards God, and it cannot be bypassed. Those who try to bypass the step of love will never reach God. That is absolutely necessary because you become aware of your totality only when you are provoked by the presence of the other, when your presence is enhanced by the presence of the other, when you are brought out of your narcissistic, closed world under the open sky.
Love is an open sky. To be in love is to be on the wing. But certainly, the unbounded sky creates fear.
And to drop the ego is very painful because we have been taught to cultivate the ego. We think the ego is our only treasure. We have been protecting it, we have been decorating it, we have been continuously polishing it, and when love knocks on the door, all that is needed to fall in love is to put aside the ego; certainly it is painful. It is your whole life’s work, it is all that you have created — this ugly ego, this idea that “I am separate from existence. ”
This idea is ugly because it is untrue. This idea is illusory, but our society exists, is based on this idea that each person is a person, not a presence.
The truth is that there is no person at all in the world; there is only presence. You are not — not as an ego, separate from the whole. You are part of the whole. The whole penetrates you, the whole breathes in you, pulsates in you, the whole is your life.
Love gives you the first experience of being in tune with something that is not your ego. Love gives you the first lesson that you can fall into harmony with someone who has never been part of your ego. If you can be in harmony with a woman, if you can be in harmony with a friend, with a man, if you can be in harmony with your child or with your mother, why can’t you be in harmony with all human beings? And if to be in harmony with a single person gives such joy, what will be the outcome if you are in harmony with all human beings? And if you can be in harmony with all human beings, why can’t you be in harmony with animals and birds and trees? Then one step leads to another.
Love is a ladder. It starts with one person, it ends with the totality. Love is the beginning, God is the end. To be afraid of love, to be afraid of the growing pains of love, is to remain enclosed in a dark cell.
Modern man is living in a dark cell; it is narcissistic. Narcissism is the greatest obsession of the modern mind.
And then there are problems, problems which are meaningless. There are problems which are creative because they lead you to higher awareness. There are problems which lead you nowhere; they simply keep you tethered, they simply keep you in your old mess.
Love creates problems. You can avoid those problems by avoiding love. But those are very essential problems! They have to be faced, encountered; they have to be lived and gone through and gone beyond. And to go beyond, the way is through. Love is the only real thing worth doing. All else is secondary. If it helps love, it is good. All else is just a means, love is the end. So whatsoever the pain, go into love.
If you don’t go into love, as many people have decided, then you are stuck with yourself. Then your life is not a pilgrimage, then your life is not a river going to the ocean; your life is a stagnant pool, dirty, and soon there will be nothing but dirt and mud. To keep clean, one needs to keep flowing. A river remains clean because it goes on flowing. Flow is the process of remaining continuously virgin.
A lover remains a virgin. All lovers are virgin. The people who don’t love cannot remain virgin; they become dormant, stagnant; they start stinking sooner or later — and sooner than later — because they have nowhere to go. Their life is dead.
That’s where modern man finds himself, and because of this, all kinds of neuroses, all kinds of madnesses, have become rampant. Psychological illness has taken epidemic proportions. It is no more that a few individuals are psychologically ill; the reality is the whole earth has become a madhouse. The whole of humanity is suffering from a kind of neurosis.
And that neurosis is coming from your narcissistic stagnancy. Everyone is stuck with one’s own illusion of having a separate self; then people go mad. And this madness is meaningless, unproductive, uncreative. Or people start committing suicide. Those suicides are also unproductive, uncreative.
You may not commit suicide by taking poison or jumping from a cliff or by shooting yourself, but you can commit a suicide which is a very slow process, and that’s what happens. Very few people commit suicide suddenly. Others have decided for a slow suicide; gradually, slowly, slowly they die. But almost, the tendency to be suicidal has become universal.
This is no way to live, and the reason, the fundamental reason, is we have forgotten the language of love. We are no more courageous enough to go into that adventure called love.
Hence people are interested in sex, because sex is not risky. It is momentary, you don’t get involved. Love is involvement; it is commitment. It is not momentary. Once it takes roots, it can be forever. It can be a lifelong involvement. Love needs intimacy, and only when you are intimate does the other become a mirror. When you meet sexually with a woman or a man, you have not met at all; in fact, you avoided the soul of the other person. You just used the body and escaped, and the other used your body and escaped. You never became intimate enough to reveal each other’s original faces.
Love is the greatest Zen koan.
It is painful, but don’t avoid it. If you avoid it you have avoided the greatest opportunity to grow. Go into it, suffer love, because through the suffering comes great ecstasy. Yes, there is agony, but out of the agony, ecstasy is born. Yes, you will have to die as an ego, but if you can die as an ego, you will be born as God, as a Buddha. And love will give you the first tongue-tip-taste of Tao, of Sufism, of Zen. Love will give you the first proof that God is, that life is not meaningless.
The people who say life is meaningless are the people who have not known love. All that they are saying is that their life has missed love.
Let there be pain, let there be suffering. Go through the dark night, and you will reach to a beautiful sunrise. It is only in the womb of the dark night that the sun evolves. It is only through the dark night that the morning comes.
My whole approach here is that of love. I teach only love and only love and nothing else. You can forget about God; that is just an empty word. You can forget about prayers because they are only rituals imposed by others on you. Love is the natural prayer, not imposed by anybody. You are born with it. Love is the true God — not the God of theologians, but the God of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, the God of the Sufis. Love is a tariqa, a method, to kill you as a separate individual and to help you become the infinite. Disappear as a dewdrop and become the ocean, but you will have to pass through the door of love.
And certainly when one starts disappearing like a dewdrop, and one has lived long as a dewdrop, it hurts, because one has been thinking, “I am this, and now this is going. I am dying. ” You are not dying, but only an illusion is dying. You have become identified with the illusion, true, but the illusion is still an illusion. And only when the illusion is gone will you be able to see who you are. And that revelation brings you to the ultimate peak of joy, bliss, celebration.

Hence, fear arises, and leaving the old, comfortable, safe world, the world of convenience, pain arises. It is the same pain that the child feels when he comes out of the womb of the mother. It is the same pain that the bird feels when he comes out of the egg. It is the same pain that the bird will feel when he will try for the first time to be on the wing.
The fear of the unknown, and the security of the known, the insecurity of the unknown, the unpredictability of the unknown, makes one very much frightened.
And because the transformation is going to be from the self towards a state of no-self, agony is very deep. But you Cannot have ecstasy without going through agony. If the gold wants to be purified, it has to pass through fire.

Modern man is living in a dark cell; it is narcissistic. Narcissism is the greatest obsession of the modern mind.
And then there are problems, problems which are meaningless. There are problems which are creative because they lead you to higher awareness. There are problems which lead you nowhere; they simply keep you tethered, they simply keep you in your old mess.
Love creates problems. You can avoid those problems by avoiding love. But those are very essential problems! They have to be faced, encountered; they have to be lived and gone through and gone beyond. And to go beyond, the way is through. Love is the only real thing worth doing. All else is secondary. If it helps love, it is good. All else is just a means, love is the end. So whatsoever the pain, go into love.
If you don’t go into love, as many people have decided, then you are stuck with yourself. Then your life is not a pilgrimage, then your life is not a river going to the ocean; your life is a stagnant pool, dirty, and soon there will be nothing but dirt and mud. To keep clean, one needs to keep flowing. A river remains clean because it goes on flowing. Flow is the process of remaining continuously virgin.
A lover remains a virgin. All lovers are virgin. The people who don’t love cannot remain virgin; they become dormant, stagnant; they start stinking sooner or later — and sooner than later — because they have nowhere to go. Their life is dead.
That’s where modern man finds himself, and because of this, all kinds of neuroses, all kinds of madnesses, have become rampant. Psychological illness has taken epidemic proportions. It is no more that a few individuals are psychologically ill; the reality is the whole earth has become a madhouse. The whole of humanity is suffering from a kind of neurosis.
And that neurosis is coming from your narcissistic stagnancy. Everyone is stuck with one’s own illusion of having a separate self; then people go mad. And this madness is meaningless, unproductive, uncreative. Or people start committing suicide. Those suicides are also unproductive, uncreative.
You may not commit suicide by taking poison or jumping from a cliff or by shooting yourself, but you can commit a suicide which is a very slow process, and that’s what happens. Very few people commit suicide suddenly. Others have decided for a slow suicide; gradually, slowly, slowly they die. But almost, the tendency to be suicidal has become universal.
This is no way to live, and the reason, the fundamental reason, is we have forgotten the language of love. We are no more courageous enough to go into that adventure called love.
Hence people are interested in sex, because sex is not risky. It is momentary, you don’t get involved. Love is involvement; it is commitment. It is not momentary. Once it takes roots, it can be forever. It can be a lifelong involvement. Love needs intimacy, and only when you are intimate does the other become a mirror. When you meet sexually with a woman or a man, you have not met at all; in fact, you avoided the soul of the other person. You just used the body and escaped, and the other used your body and escaped. You never became intimate enough to reveal each other’s original faces.
Love is the greatest Zen koan.
It is painful, but don’t avoid it. If you avoid it you have avoided the greatest opportunity to grow. Go into it, suffer love, because through the suffering comes great ecstasy. Yes, there is agony, but out of the agony, ecstasy is born. Yes, you will have to die as an ego, but if you can die as an ego, you will be born as God, as a Buddha. And love will give you the first tongue-tip-taste of Tao, of Sufism, of Zen. Love will give you the first proof that God is, that life is not meaningless.
The people who say life is meaningless are the people who have not known love. All that they are saying is that their life has missed love.
Let there be pain, let there be suffering. Go through the dark night, and you will reach to a beautiful sunrise. It is only in the womb of the dark night that the sun evolves. It is only through the dark night that the morning comes.
My whole approach here is that of love. I teach only love and only love and nothing else. You can forget about God; that is just an empty word. You can forget about prayers because they are only rituals imposed by others on you. Love is the natural prayer, not imposed by anybody. You are born with it. Love is the true God — not the God of theologians, but the God of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, the God of the Sufis. Love is a tariqa, a method, to kill you as a separate individual and to help you become the infinite. Disappear as a dewdrop and become the ocean, but you will have to pass through the door of love.
And certainly when one starts disappearing like a dewdrop, and one has lived long as a dewdrop, it hurts, because one has been thinking, “I am this, and now this is going. I am dying. ” You are not dying, but only an illusion is dying. You have become identified with the illusion, true, but the illusion is still an illusion. And only when the illusion is gone will you be able to see who you are. And that revelation brings you to the ultimate peak of joy, bliss, celebration.

Pain is our best teacher
‘Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.’ ~Arthur SchopenhauerWe are so afraid of pain. We are doing the best we can in order to avoid having painful experiences in our lives. And yet, the whole way we are living is leading us to exactly what we are trying to avoid.
Most of us are a continuous state of psychological pain. And the more we try to avoid pain, the more we find ourselves in pain. Because by avoiding pain we are also neglecting to find out what is the cure for pain.
Painful experiences have so much to teach us. Pain implies that something is going wrong with ourselves. Pain points out to the fact that we need to take action so as to change the way we are living–to stop doing some things and start doing some other things. Therefore to be in pain is not bad, contrary to what most people believe. In fact, pain is the best teacher.
Only by experiencing pain can you find your bliss, because only by being in pain can you realize that you have been doing something wrong. Only in a state of suffering can you become more intelligent, because suffering means problems, and to solve problems you need to increase your intelligence. This is why those that don’t have problems in their lives are usually just stupid, because they don’t have to use their mind that much. Thus their reasoning atrophies and they become dumb.
If you study the history of mankind you will find that the greatest minds that have walked on earth were those most in pain. Pain urged those individuals to ask questions and seek for answers. Pain pushed them to see life from a whole different perspective.
Don’t be afraid of pain. Accept pain and embrace it. This, however, does not mean that you should be a masochist. It does not mean that you should desire pain in your life. It just means that when you are in pain, you should not try to avoid pain or find ways to distract yourself from pain. Instead, you should allow pain show you what it has to show you.
Unfortunately most of us are continuously trying to distract ourselves from facing ourselves. Because we know that If we do otherwise, we will have to face a great amount of negativity: fears, worries, anxiety, everything that makes us suffer.
So we spend most of our time doing unnecessary things just to distract ourselves. We keep on watching TV, listening to music, surfing on the internet… We keep on doing thousands of things, no matter how stupid, just so we can avoid a moment of aloneness.
But unless you accept pain you are never going to overcome it, and unless you overcome your pain, you are not going to evolve and grow into something better out of yourself.
We all need to find time in our lives to study pain. Pain is just a symptom and we should search for its causes if we truly want to relieve ourselves from it.
‘Don’t carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones to rise above them.’ ~Ryan Ferreras

How sex improves health
There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that sex is great for your health :
Having an amorous interlude an average of 3 times a week burns up 35,000 kilojoules, which is equal to running 130 km in a year.
Sex increases your testosterone levels which fortify your bones and muscles and supply you with good cholesterol.
Endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain killers, are released during sex and are good for relieving headache, whiplash and arthritis.
The hormone DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is also released just prior to orgasm, and improves cognition, builds the immune system, inhibits tumour growth and builds bones.
In a woman, the hormone that arouses the desire to be touched is released in large doses during sex and her oestrogen levels also increase.
Dr Harold Bloomfield, in his book The Power of Five, showed how oestrogen is associated with better bones and a better cardiovascular system in women.
The effect of all these hormones is to protect the heart and extend life, so more sex equals longer life and less stress.
The list of benefits for having a vibrant sex life is getting longer and longer.

God bless
Des MILLIONS de dollars qui vous tombent dessus de façon tout à fait inattendue ? Une invention toute simple mais qui a une portée incroyablement étendue ? Une idée toute simple dont toutes les maisons et commerces veulent posséder ? Une porte vers la liberté ? C'est permis de rêver, oh oui....!
C'est fou comme une idée extraordinaire mais toute simple provenant d'un citoyen lui ordinaire, peut transformer des vies et offrir autant d'espoir d'une vie meilleure, d'une vie inspirante, d'une vie où l'on peut avoir des projets qui sont réalisables. Y a-t-il un Dieu derrière tout ça ? Je crois que oui.
Il faut de l'argent pour faire de l'argent. En 2013, malheureusement oui. Ou heureusement. C'est permis de rêver.
God bless.

You're all i need
Why do i sway
i can't face the day without you
my heart drifts away
but your love remains always true
As i'm sailin' away
on the rivers of time
your love will carry me through
the storms in my life
You're all I need
when the world is closin' in
my strength is runnin' thin
when i'm lost in the storm
you're all i need
There's no need to look anywhere
there's nothing that can compare
to the love that you give
you're all i need
Sometimes i wait
until i can't take anymore
you show me the way
you help me sail back to the shore
When i'm drifting away
on the angry tides
i cast out my anchor into
the sea of your love
Why do i sway
i can't face the day without you
all i can say
you're all i need
You're all i need
you're all that i want
nothing in this world
could give me more

When i was you man
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

10 ways to inspire others
- Be a good example. People watch what you do more than they listen to what you say. Be someone worth emulating.
- Care about others. People don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care. Ask questions. Take a genuine interest in people.
- Encouragement. Everyone goes through tough times. When you support people and encourage them through these times, you’ll be inspiring them to see the best in themselves and in the situation.
- Be inspired yourself. Look for people, ideas, environments and knowledge that you find inspiring and motivating.
- Share from your own experience. You have more to share than you realize. Mine the rich experiences of your life and share your wisdom from your unique point of view. You may be the only one who can touch someone with your inspiring message.
- Be vulnerable. Be willing to share your failures as well as your successes. Others will relate to you. They’ll understand that they’re not the only ones with challenges.
- Tell stories. Facts tell and stories sell. They inspire, too. We learn best from parables and we all need to develop our own inspiring stories.
- Be a good communicator. Increasing your ability to communicate effectively is a critical element for you to inspire others. Watch how you speak and what you say. Invest in your communication skills.
- Challenge people. Many of us have had teachers who at times seemed more like tormentors than mentors. They challenged us to do our best, and we were better for it. Practice “carefrontation”—the careful and caring confrontation of others.
- Read. It may not follow that all readers are leaders, but certainly all leaders are readers. Stay informed. Share what you read with others. Tell people about books that have inspired you. Share the knowledge.

Je suis riche
D'entrée de jeu : Nah je ne suis pas riche. J'espérais attirer l'attention d'une certaine catégorie de lecteurs. Mais qu'est-ce que la richesse... et est-ce que l'argent fait le bonheur ? Oui. En fait non, mais oui. Tout le monde s'accorde pour dire qu'ils sont en étroit lien, c'est évident et je ne ferai certainement pas de ce sujet un texte tellement j'en suis convaincue.
Je voulais plutôt parler de ma vie. Je trouve ma vie riche. Pas toujours de tout repos, mais riche, oh oui. Riche d'expériences, de liberté, riche de possibilités, d'acquis. Riche d'un homme qui me laisse vivre et m'appuie dans ma folie, dans mes idées de grandeur, dans mon non-conformisme. Un amoureux à qui je peux offrir toute ma vulnérabilité et me sentir quand même en sécurité.
Je trouve ma vie prospère quand je regarde les deux beaux enfants qui me sont sortis du corps et qui sont un peu mon prolongement, notre prolongement à moi et à lui. Deux petits êtres de sexes différents qui m'apprennent à redécouvrir la vie d'un oeil innocent, deux petites personnes devant qui je m'émerveille jour après jour.
Mon trésor à moi, ce n'est pas l'argent. Oui certes j'aime l'argent comme tout le monde, mais il y a une richesse bien plus grande que l'argent. Je n'ai pas été dotée d'un méga-talent particulier, ou d'une beauté rare, ou d'une capacité sociale sans limites, ou d'un tout autre don enviable. Non. Mais je trouve que j'ai quand même reçu une vie qui est bien, un corps correct, une éducation respectable, des habiletés qui me permettent de vivre une vie honorable et trépidante à la fois.
Ma vie elle est bien. Et franchement, je n'ai pas une tonne des personnes à envier.

11 choses qui ne s'apprennent pas à l'école
Règle 1 : La vie est injuste : habituez vous!
Règle 2 : Le monde se fout de votre amour-propre. Le monde s'attendra à ce que vous accomplissiez quelque chose AVANT que vous ne vous félicitiez vous-même.
Règle 3 : Vous ne gagnerez pas $60 000 par an en sortant de l'école. Vous ne serez pas vice-président en commençant, avec GSM et voiture de fonction fournis, avant d'avoir mérité, gagné ces privilèges.
Règle 4 : Si vous croyez que votre professeur est dur avec vous, attendez d'avoir un patron.
Règle 5 : Travailler dans une friterie n'est pas s'abaisser. Vos grands-parents avaient un mot différent pour ça : ils l'appelaient une opportunité.
Règle 6 : Si vous gaffez, CE N'EST PAS LA FAUTE DE VOS PARENTS, arrêtez de chialer et apprenez de vos erreurs.
Règle 7 : Avant que vous naissiez, vos parents n'étaient pas aussi ennuyants qu'ils le sont maintenant ! Ils sont devenus en payant vos factures, en nettoyant vos vêtements et en vous entendant répéter sans arrêt combien vous êtes bons et cools. Ainsi, avant de sauver les forêts tropicales des parasites de la génération de vos parents, commencez donc par faire le ménage dans votre propre chambre et tout ce qui s'y trouve.
Règle 8 : Votre école s'est peut-être débarrassé du système « gagnant-perdant », PAS LA VIE ! Dans certaines écoles, on a aboli les notes de passage et on vous donne autant de chances que vous voulez pour obtenir la bonne réponse. Ceci n'existe pas dans la vraie vie !
Règle 9 : La vie n'est pas divisée en semestres. L'été n'est pas une période de congé. Et très peu d'employeurs sont disposés à vous aider à VOUS ASSUMER, c'est votre responsabilité.
Règle 10 : La télévision n'est pas la «vraie vie». Dans la vraie vie, les gens quittent le café et vont travailler.
Règle 11 : Ne vous moquez pas trop des «nerds» autour de vous, vous travaillerez probablement pour l'un d'entre eux un jour.

What makes you beautiful
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful
So come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right
I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful

The butterfly story
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole. Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch it, expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge and expand enough to support the body, Neither happened! In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around. It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand: The restricting cocoon and the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us. We will not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.

Over you
Now that it's all said and done
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of me
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you
You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
I'm spending all of these years

- Daughtry
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of me
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut

Well, I never saw it coming

And I never thought I'd doubt you

Au-delà d'une personne
Au-delà des apparences, de l'intelligence, au-delà de la personnalité, des limites, des possessions. Au-delà des idées, des choix... au-delà d'une personne.
Une personne a son histoire, son enfance, son éducation, son vécu, ses capacités, ses souffrances. Chaque personne naît avec son bagage génétique, sa personnalité innée et acquise. Acquise au gré du temps, des tempêtes de la vie, de l'exemple reçue, des émotions inconnues ou refoulées. Acquise au prix d'amitiés regrettées, de la honte, d'amours déchus, de la culpabilité, de déceptions.
Les gens peuvent nous juger très sévèrement à propos de la pointe de l'iceberg qu'ils voient de nous, mais nul ne peut ranger un amour dans un placard sans avoir d'abord pris la peine d'écouter ce que sa base a à raconter.
Au-delà d'une personne, il y a des choses qui méritent d'être expliquées.

Les petits hasards de la vie
Il y a de ces petits hasards dans la vie. De bien drôles de hasards. De ces petits moments tellement inattendus qu'ils peuvent même jusqu'à nous redonner espoir.
Il y a un moment pour tout dans la vie. Un moment pour apprendre, un moment pour aimer. Il semble que l'amour ne se reconnaît qu'après avoir connu l'absence de l'amour, la désillusion, le désespoir.
Certains hasards semblent parfaits, calculés, sculptés, affilés parfaitement pour nous. Comme faits sur mesure. Comme ces moments sont rafraîchissants !! Comme ils peuvent être libérateurs !
Les hasards heureux de la vie sont si rares qu'ils valent leur pesant d'or... Ils peuvent panser des blessures et faire fleurir le bourgeon qui ne demandait qu'un rayon de soleil pour s'ouvrir.
Les hasards de la vie peuvent nous affranchir, il faut juste leur faire confiance.

L'apprentissage de la vie
La vie est une suite d'évènements dont on n'a souvent aucun contrôle. On naît en quelque part sur la planète, on entre rapidement dans le moule, on fait de notre mieux avec ce que l'on reçoit.
J'ai appris qu'on ne choisi pas ses parents. On vient au monde avec en plus une part de leurs gènes. Double impact.
J'ai appris qu'on fait de mauvais choix ; choix qui ont souvent été faits dans l'ignorance et la bonne volonté. Mais cette bonne foi n'est pas toujours éclairée et peut même mener à un relatif désastre. C'est comme ça. On doit vivre avec ses choix et essayer d'en extraire le positif. On doit guider nos enfants à faire mieux que ce que l'on a fait.
J'ai appris que rien ni personne n'est parfait ici sous le soleil. Que l'on doit choisir les gens autour de nous qui nous conviennent, ceux avec qui on se sent le mieux. Ceux qui nous font sentir meilleur, ceux qui nous rendent meilleur. J'ai appris que parfois malgré toute notre bonne volonté, certaines personnes ne conviennent juste pas à notre personnalité et ne sont pas mauvaises pour autant.
J'ai appris que la tolérance s'apprend. Que plus on vit d'expériences différentes, plus on fait face aux différents côtés de la médaille de différentes situations, plus on devient résilient. Que parfois on est du mauvais côté et que ça nous rend plus sensible et conciliant quand ce sont les autres qui le sont.
J'ai appris que l'on peut se décevoir soi-même. Que c'est un sentiment très douloureux, mais que c'est comme ça et qu'on ne pas refaire le passé. On ne peut que l'utiliser à bon escient dans le futur. J'ai appris que l'on peut se pardonner aussi, et surtout arrêter de se culpabiliser tout le temps. Que ça n'apporte rien de bon.
J'ai appris qu'on doit assumer ce que l'on est. Que même si certaines parties de nous ne font pas l'unanimité et peuvent même provoquer la controverse, nous sommes ce que nous sommes et nous aime qui nous aime.
J'ai appris que les moments de bonheur sont précieux et doivent être chéris. Qu'ils sont la récompense à beaucoup d'efforts et de responsabilités. Qu'on en paient cher le prix. Qu'ils doivent être provoqués et appréciés à leur juste valeur.
J'ai appris que l'amour est le plus grand et le plus noble sentiment dans la vie. Qu'il peut -oh oui- faire horriblement mal, mais qu'il est la seule et unique chose qui vale vraiment la peine et qui nous pousse à perpétuer la vie, nous les humains. Parce que cette vie elle n'est pas toujours agréable à vivre. J'ai appris que c'est dans les épreuves que le véritable amour se dévoile.
J'ai appris que l'on doit apprécier ce que l'on a et arrêter de toujours vouloir plus. Que même en ayant plus on en voudra encore plus et que ce n'est pas ça l'essence de la vie.
J'ai appris qu'on peut apprendre à s'aimer soi-même. Qu'on doit apprendre à s'aimer. Que sinon la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue.
J'ai appris qu'on a du pouvoir sur certaines choses et qu'on doit avoir assez de cran pour changer ce que l'on peut changer qui ne nous rend plus heureux. J'ai appris que rien n'est vraiment définitif et que le bonheur peut être vraiment facile.
J'ai appris que, aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, la souffrance est nécessaire et salutaire.
J'ai appris que l'on doit souffrir beaucoup pour devenir une meilleure personne.

Réflexion sur la séparation
Je partage avec vous ce texte, qui n'est pas ma création mais dont le message est salvateur, comme le dit l'auteure... :
L’être humain est ainsi fait, qu’il considère tout ce qu’il voit comme permanent, et tout ce qu’il a comme acquis. L’enfant humain pense que ce qu’il peut toucher lui appartient : sa mère, sa doudou, les jouets du copain au bac à sable…. et normalement (normalement), en grandissant, il fait l’expérience que peu de choses lui appartiennent en propre.
En vieillissant, l’humain fait l'expérience douloureuse que peu de choses lui appartiennent, et qu’il faut faire des efforts pour posséder. Parfois son Karma le pousse même à découvrir que ce qu’il a difficilement acquis peut disparaître également. La vie est une succession de deuils, de séparations diverses : ainsi fait-on l’expérience spirituelle la plus importante qui est censée nous préparer au grand final.
L'impermanence des choses et des êtres
L’impermanence est l’un des Quatre Sceaux du Dharma.
C’est un des apprentissages fondamentaux de l’existence. Chacun d’entre nous, être et chose est amené à disparaître. Cette acceptation s’appelle « lâcher prise » . Elle nous permet de mieux appréhender le monde et de mieux nous y adapter en grandissant chaque jour vers l’éveil spirituel.
Le monde physique est impermanent par nature. Et les sentiments, fruits de l’égo et de l’esprit le sont aussi. Voilà, le cadre est posé.
Quel rapport entre la leçon spirituelle et la séparation ?
Bah si, c’est fastoche !
On se lance dans une histoire d’amour, on sait que « par nature » elle peut ne pas être « définitive ». On le sait, et on essaie de rester vigilant, mais petit à petit, on établit des fondations que l’on croit solides. Chaque réalisation du couple se transforme en ciment : le mariage, la conception des enfants, l’achat d’une habitation, d’une voiture, des vacances au bout du monde, des associations professionnelles, des amis communs…
On finit par ne plus avoir peur.
Comment ça, rien n’est permanent ? Et notre relation alors ? Crois-tu que je vais te laisser partir et appartenir à une autre? Tu ne me conviens pas mais TU ES A MOI !!!
Tu es à moi….. Pourtant, l‘impermanence est là, sous nos yeux, il n’y a qu’à en cueillir les preuves.
Les personnes meurent, et l’amour parfois aussi.
Mais malgré ces preuves, on continue pourtant à s’accrocher. Jusqu’à ce qu’on lâche prise : obligé de continuer à vivre.
Impermanence des sentiments et lâcher prise
Ça y est, le mot est jeté : lâcher prise.
Accepter l’impermanence et en prendre son parti, sans souffrir. Elle est belle la blague. Vous y arrivez vous à voir ce couple dans lequel vous avez investi tous vos rêves et vos idéaux partir en fumée, sans pleurer ?
Moi je n’y arrive pas…
Se séparer, ou mourir à l'illusion
Se séparer, …. c’est faire le deuil du conte de fée … faire le deuil du rêve : « élever ses enfants dans une famille unie ». Faire le deuil du rêve « vieillir ensemble en regardant des couchers de soleil ». Faire le deuil du NOUS qui m’allait si bien en me protégeant comme un costume de mardi-gras. Oui se séparer ça fait mal, comme un enterrement. Amusant comme on enterre sa vie de jeune fille, mais jamais sa vie d’épouse…. preuve que ce deuil là est impossible ou au contraire qu’il se balaie d’un geste de la main, comme on gomme son nom d’épouse sur la carte d’identité ? Oh, des illusions il y en a d’autres qui arrivent derrière…. comme celles de refonder une famille, refaire des enfants,
trouver le prince charmant(ah non, il n'existe pas c’est vrai), vivre le grand amour avec un grand P (comme passion). Mais on les regarde et on les prend pour ce qu’elles sont : des illusions, des rêves, des envies, des souhaits… des choses rassurantes pour l’égo. Se séparer c’est aussi mourir à l’illusion de l’AUTRE. C’est se rendre compte chaque jour un peu plus de qui est vraiment la personne qu’on a aimé. On dit que l’amour est aveugle, mais c’est ô combien vrai….
Bref se séparer, c’est faire cette expérience spirituelle étrange de l’impermanence : voir sa vie construite pas à pas s’effondrer en un clin d’oeil à coup de marteau sur le bureau du juge. C’est apprendre de manière totalement empirique que le changement peut être bénéfique et salvateur, qu’on peut compter sur soi-même, qu’on a toutes les cartes en main pour VIVRE… enfin.
Finalement, se séparer, c’est une sacrée leçon de philo : et là, je crois que j’ai 20/20 !!! enfin sur la compréhension du thème… après, on pourra me retirer des points sur la mise en forme, l’encre qui bave sous les larmes, et quelques tournures de phrases pas très respectueuses. Bon, il y a probablement des moyens moins difficiles d’aborder l’impermanence. Mais puisque notre conscience est créatrice, que nous créons à chaque instant les conditions de vie nécessaires à notre évolution spirituelle, je n’ai pas d’autre choix que de m’incliner, d’applaudir et de dire merci.
Je concluerai avec deux citations.
Aujourd’hui voici ma conclusion : Rien n’est jamais définitif, rien ne dure vraiment…. et heureusement !

L’autre est là, quoi qu’il arrive, même quand on montre notre côté sombre.L’autre est là… sans pourtant être vraiment là : juste comme une chose posée dans notre vie. Mais… elle nous appartient. Ce n’est pas vrai, bien sur. Mais en tous cas, c’est souvent ce que l’ego aime croire. Il s’en persuade tellement fort, que même quand tout fout le camp, il reste accroché à l’autre comme une bernicle sur un rocher à marée basse.
L’autre est là, et il est trop bien installé pour s’enfuir.
L’autre est là, il est à moi…..

Tu es à moi….. Pourtant, l‘impermanence est là, sous nos yeux, il n’y a qu’à en cueillir les preuves.
- Tu n’es plus celui/celle que j’ai connu
- J’ai changé, et je n’ai plus envie de faire/d’être comme avant
- Mes sentiments ne sont plus aussi passionnés
- Tu n’es plus aussi beau/belle/jeune qu’avant
- Je n’ai plus autant envie de toi/tu n’as plus autant envie de moi
- Je te supporte beaucoup moins bien
- Etc…

- Je sais que le changement est positif, que derrière l’épreuve, il y aura du soleil. Pourtant, je n’arrive pas à lâcher.
- J’ai peur de perdre une situation que je connais et que j’ai l’illusion de maîtriser.
- J’ai peur d’admettre qu’il ne m’aime plus (et mon ego se cabre…. comment c’est possible de ne plus aimer la personne tellement exceptionnelle que je suis? )
- J’ai peur qu’il donne à une autre, ce que de toute façon il n’a pas su me donner….
- J’ai peur du changement, peur de l’espoir…. peur d’être déçue
- J’ai peur de la solitude
- J’ai peur aussi de ne pas y arriver seule…

Listen
Will you listen to my story?
It'll just be a minute
How can I explain?
What ever happened here
Never meant to hurt you
How could I cause you so much pain?
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe
Will you believe me?
All the words that I come up with
They're like gasoline on flames
There's no excuse
No explaination
Believe me
If I could I'd undo what I did wrong
I'd give away all that I own
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe

If I told you
I've been cleaning my soul
And if I promised you
I'll regain control
Will you open your door
And let me in?
Take me for who I am
And not for who I've been?
Who I've been...
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me

Avoir un garçon
J'aime mes enfants. J'ai écris plus tôt un texte sur ce qu'a représenté pour moi le controversé fait de mettre au monde une fille. J'ai été bénis d'avoir la chance d'avoir un garçon ensuite. En fait je bénis le fait d'avoir eu les circonstances en ma faveur pour pouvoir connaître les deux sexes.
L'amour que je porte à mon garçon se rapproche du sentiment amoureux qu'une femme peut porter à un homme. Et c'est loin d'être une idée tordue, c'est tout à fait sain. Avoir un garçon pour une femme représente quelque chose d'inexplicable dans le coeur. J'ai beau chercher à trouver les mots justes pour l'exprimer, j'en suis incapable. Le sentiment qui naît en moi quand je regarde mon fils est le sentiment le plus noble, le plus puissant, le plus doux, le plus inébranlable dans toute la panoplie d'émotions que j'ais pu vivre dans ma vie.
Tel un complexe d'Oedipe, je pense qu'il est tout à fait normal de vivre un tel sentiment. Plusieurs personnes autour de moi confirment cette règle un peu inexplicable. Parce que ce que je ressens pour ma fille est tout aussi puissant, mais différent.
Avoir mon garçon, c'est un peu pour moi un cadeau que m'a fait la vie.

Quotes
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.

On a tous son talon d'Achille. Enfin je pense. Celui dont on doit se battre contre quotidiennement pour survivre à la vie. Celui qui nous pourrit parfois l'existence, celui qui parraît peut-être anodin pour certains mais qui constitue notre petit combat à nous.
Mon talon d'Achille à moi, c'est mon vide affectif intérieur. Besoin d'affection ? Dépendance affective ? Je ne sais pas trop où est la limite entre un besoin raisonnable et un besoin déraisonnable. Suis-je normale ou non ? Je ne sais pas. Reste que quand je me compare, je pense que j'ai besoin de plus que la moyenne des gens. C'est mon combat à moi.
Lié à l'enfance ? Fort probable. Mon réservoir affectif à moi, il n'a pas été rempli quand j'étais petite. Bien que j'ais eu une belle enfance, de bons parents qui ont fait de leur mieux avec ce qu'ils ont reçus eux aussi, bien que je me suis longtemps sentie choyée d'avoir eu les parents que j'ai eu, l'éducation qu'ils m'ont donné, mon réservoir de petite fille lui, n'a pas été comblé.
Ce réservoir rempli de conséquences, je le traîne depuis l'adolescence. Difficultés dans mes relations amoureuses, dans mes relations amicales mêmes, difficultés avec les relations interpersonnelles tout court. Difficultés qui proviennent carrément de ma relation avec moi-même je suppose. Qui proviennent de ce fameux réservoir assoiffé. Enfin.
Je parviens à vivre relativement correctement avec mon combat. J'ai trouvé chaussure confortable à mon pied côté amoureux. Je comble autrement mon vide. Mes enfants, mon chien. Ma vie. J'ai eu la chance d'être relativement choyée par la vie. J'arrive même à être heureuse.
Si un jour je m'enlève la vie, ce sera mon vide affectif qui aura eu raison de moi.

Perfect
Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise
I just know we can't be over, I can see it in your eyes
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
Making every kind of silence, it takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong
I know that I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
When you're caught in a lie and you've got nothing to hide
When you've got nowhere to run and you've got nothing inside
It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me
You thought that you knew
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my, just myself
Just myself, myself, just myself
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying

Le temps est venu
Janvier. La fête est terminée. Le jeu a assez duré. Il ne vaut pas la chandelle de toute façon. La vie est décevante peu importe. Même ceux qui atteignent la gloire deviennent souvent encore plus déchus que ceux qui ne seront à tout jamais que moyen. Mieux vaut s'y faire. Bien beaux sont les accroires, je ne les crois plus. Laisser tomber les chaînes. Laisser tomber ce qui ne me rend pas heureuse. Ce qui me rend vulnérable. Parfois à un grand prix, mais c'est la seule solution.
Revenir à ce qui compte vraiment, à l'essentiel. Revenir aux personnes qui me sont chères. Revenir à celles pour qui je compte vraiment. À celles qui ne m'ont pas laissées tomber dans la tempête. À celles qui font que je suis toujours en vie, dans ce monde éphémère, inutile et dérisoire. Remettre les armes dans les mains de son détracteur. Arrêter de chercher ailleurs. Ailleurs est loin d'être mieux.
- Il y a un temps pour tout, un temps pour toute chose sous les cieux: un temps pour naître et un temps pour mourir, un temps pour planter et un temps pour arracher ce qui a été planté, un temps pour tuer et un temps pour guérir, un temps pour abattre et un temps pour bâtir, un temps pour pleurer et un temps pour rire, un temps pour se lamenter et un temps pour danser, un temps pour lancer des pierres et un temps pour ramasser des pierres, un temps pour embrasser et un temps pour s'éloigner des embrassements, un temps pour chercher et un temps pour perdre, un temps pour garder et un temps pour jeter, un temps pour déchirer et un temps pour coudre, un temps pour se taire et un temps pour parler, un temps pour aimer et un temps pour haïr, un temps pour la guerre et un temps pour la paix. -
