Are we still teachable? (131)
mindfful: but is it saying something he learned? am i dense or what?
maybe i can learn im dense
maybe i can learn im dense
I don't know maybe its just an appreciation for beauty and in that and the wonder of small things we are infinitely teachable the childlike side of us doesn't fade out and our minds and hearts stay open even through the hard lessons.

I learned a valuable lesson most of this day. Turning 60 is
absolutely awesome. I felt younger today and tonight then I
have for a long time.
Cusp: Yes I see those beautiful vibrant colors each time I close
my eyes to meditate.

For me it's to always remember to keep things in perspective.I recently learned that I don't have to be perfect to be loveable.That it's ok to make mistakes and don't fret the small stuff and the mistakes I may make.

If the starshells of bright violet still hold one in amazement- yes
Yes and I have learned there are only so many Summers to enjoy in our lives.
That the most beautiful things in life are the simple ones that money doesn't buy like the sun on your face. A baby smiling at you. People walking hand in hand. Kissing someone passionately and just feeling joy. That is Cusp's point I believe along the more poetic lines. Don't mean to speak for you Cusp but love the poetic way you answer questions.

ive learned that a million billion times
but i still forget it constantly
the perfectionism --it goes back to the unloveable thing
thinking if i am perfect i might have a chance
i wish i could learn that and it would stick

Isnt life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard man will try?
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isnt love strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isnt life strange
A turn of the page
A book without light
Unless with love we write;
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were:
And here we are.
Moody Blues
This was one of my father's favorite songs. I look back on my childhood, and despite everything I've gone through, I still believe in love.

Maybe you should stop trying so hard and just breathe MF nothing is going to be perfect in this life. Sometimes the harder we push that door the more resistant it is. I find that when I accept things in my life that I want to overcome I actually start overcoming them when I fuss and get frustrated nothing budges.

I think learning never stops.
Like a banana...When I'M green I grow, and when I'm ripe....I rot.
My dad went back to school at 55, and started his own business.
My experience,when I WAS IN SCHOOL doing my masonry course back in 2001,LARRY used to tell me ''WALL,you want to be a good bricklayer,so don't clown around,listen close and take in what you can and pay close attention to what the teacher says.''

Things I've learned in the past ten years:
1.) People are never who they say they are, and it's not their fault. This applies to all social interaction, not just the net. They don't know who they are, so how can they tell you?
2.) The myth of soul mates does more damage to people than smoking or heroin.
3.) Suffering, not joy, is what binds people together. It is not our faith that acts as the glue of society, but our doubts. That's why it's called the Human Condition, and not the Joyce or Dave condition.
4.) One should never turn down the opportunity to make a new friend. The reason being is that every person you include in your personal universe expands that universe. I would like everyone in the world to be my friend, because then, I would be the world.

I've recently learned that I didn't know what life was "really" about until I turned 40.

Galactic_bodhi: I learned that perhaps I'm not as unlovable as people have told me I am.
Obviously you are worthy to be liked and loved Bodhi and capable of loving back imagine that you prove the critics wrong lol. Perhaps they just haven't been bright enough to understand you.

CuspofMagic: Have you ever closed you eyes and - naturally viewed starshells of bright violet or any other colour for that matter or even when meditating with eyes open--- such a seemingly small thing - the mind painting pictures on the canvas of deep thought
