time4fun4u: It is,and its then you appreciate how complex and beautiful it is.
I am a hiker also a farm girl...and have spent many nights just on noodles....and bit of booze in very wild places...and always went to track...only after sunset....so, you are talking to an old pro here....
Boban1: do you really think that a person can become enlighten over night and realize what a trap ,modern life stile is???
We lead a hectic life ,running around for a better job to make more money ,to have a better home to provide more for the family,better car etc etc etc
Sadly for many people that is the life they lead.Its a shame they cant spend time to look at everythign around them.Especially in these times when people are in fear of losing thier jobs.

rohaan: Yup. It is said that we are a "fluke"--chances are more against it happening - to the mega-billionth degrees. It's literally a miracle we are here--so, given that, I tend to beleive in miracles, this one, anyway. I do understand what you mean about the "easy" answer. (If another guy accumulates assets, we say he's lucky. If we do, we call ourselves hardworker, skillful. (ha ha)...
I think miracles can be small things, they happen around us every day. I think a lot of peeps go through life waiting to see the neon lights and dont see the miracles around them everyday

No and yes.....
even here, when I communicate and watch the communication between people with people, especially on forums..one can see it in the very clearly how far they have reached in their life .....to understand and deal with the trap...
They have a natural grace with words, style with inherent maturity which is commendable...
you know a famous ZEN saying is-
Before enlightenment chopping woods carrying water and after enlightenment chopping woods carrying water.....
So, my dear natural disposition and where it's coming frm as well as the inner strength can't be disguised....

I truly believe there is something wondrous out there to be found, but why do we think it should be all about us ?

The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
