This Gadget Has No Title
“A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.”

Moments In Time
1) The Celestial Revelation - Roadside
2) The Visit From The Departed - Part One
3) The Celestial Revelation - Mountainside Grove
4) The Visit From The Departed - Part Two
In these first four moments I understood everything but then I wasn't meant to remember anything. They are among the happiest moments I remember although I don't know why.
5) The Shadow On The Trees
6) Moving the Hand And Moving The World
7) Breathing The Air Of Jesus
8) Seeing The Light Of The Hearts
These last four moments I understood completely and could remember them fully. They are among the saddest things I remember because I am trapped in this non-reality and they are reminders there is a beautiful reality I must wait for.

The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real
“What is REAL?" asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day... "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When [someone] loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand... once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.”
10 Seconds of Forever - Hawkwind
In the tenth second of forever, I thought of the sea and a white yacht drifting...
In the ninth second of forever, I thought of a leaf, a stone, the plastic fragment of the child's toy...
In the eighth second of forver, I remembered a warm room where voices played...
In the seventh second of forever, I thought of the life I would not lead...
In the sixth second of forever, I saw your mouth whispering something I could not hear...
In the fifth second of forever, I thought of the vermillion deserts of Mars, the jewelled
forests of Venus...
In the fourth second of forever, I could remember nothing that I did not love...
In the third second of forever, I thought of rain against a window and I thought of
the wind...
In the second second of forever, I thought of the pair of broken shades lying on the
tarmac...
In the first and final second of forever, I thought of the long past that had led to
now and never... never... never... never...

The Secret Truth About INFJs
This is so on the money. Its nice to hear what you've always known but never dared express to others. Nobody would understand and you know it. They think they would but they wouldn't.

Gifts
Recently I was engaged in an exercise in which a group of people either gave you a gift or told you what your gift was. I don't know these people very well but I too had to tell them either their gift or give them a gift.
It turned out I was last to receive my gifts and what I heard surprised me. A room full of people, who barely knew me, provided a list of gifts unique to every list prior. What surprised me is their gifts were all things that meant so very much to me.
Compassion
Self-love
Wise Woman
Laughter
Consciousness
Warmth and Happiness
Peaceful Journey
Leadership
Spiritual
Enlightenment
Wisdom
11 beautiful people, 11 beautiful gifts.
