"Love is never a relationship; love is relating. It is always a river, flowing, unending. Love knows no full stop; the honeymoon begins but never ends. It is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues - it is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun." - Osho

“The inner growth is very still and very silent. You are growing, and even you cannot be aware of it unless something totally new happens and makes you aware that you have reached some space that was unknown to you. And that can happen any moment. On your part great patience is needed, and a trust that the whole existence is in support of all those who are trying to grow spiritually. It is not you who are trying to grow spiritually; it is existence who, through you, is trying to reach to its utmost heights.”
OSHO

May we all be saved from insanity.
“Those unrelentingly cruel ones, objects of compassion,
maddened by delusion's evils,
want only destroy themselves and others;
may they achieve the eye of wisdom,
knowing what must be done and undone,
and abide in the glory of friendship and love.” Dalai Lama
About me:
Thanks for visiting this page!
Friends are welcome!
I just can't assure I'll have the time to answer to everyone's messages neither chat with you. But just allowing people to add me can be something nice too, even if I don't have much time to check everybody's profiles and develop deep friendship with each one of you.
A bit of my history...
I was born in a city called "Rio Grande", extreme south of Brasil, where I grew up surrounded by the wings of this lovely, warm big family, in which my great-grandmother was the boss. ...In Brasil, relatives can be "family" even more than your own parents - it doesn't matter if you are or not in a conventional family, since you have plenty of love while you're raised. I'm so thankful for this. ...I think I'll always call that place "home", because it's where I built the bases of who I am. Some people say that when you teach a child the right way to go, even when becoming an ancient, she won't stray. They never had much money, but they made me rich inside.

Who I'd like to meet: "True Love, come listen to the silent sea with me... Come feel the fresh breeze in your soul, the caresses of pure sunlight on your skin... Come fly away with me to the Timeless Land."
"An oceanic joy broke upon calm endless shores of my soul. The Spirit of God, I realized, is exhaustless Bliss. " (Paramahansa Yogananda)
I wish I had met Bhagavan Shree Rajneesh (OSHO) and swalowed from his peace, delighted on this eternal joy that seems to come from his words, as a scent of many flowers, floating on the rivers of my soul. "Without meditation, energy remains passion; with meditation, the same energy becomes compassion. Passion and compassion are not two energies, they are one and the same energy. Once it passes through meditation, it is transformed, transfigured; it becomes qualitatively different. Passion moves downwards, compassion moves upwards; passion moves through desire, compassion moves through desirelessness; passion is an occupation to forget the miseries in which you live, compassion is a celebration, it is a dance of attainment, of fulfillment...you are so fulfilled that you can share." - Osho, Ancient Music in the Pines
These ones I intend to meet personaly:
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
"Let the different faiths exist, let them flourish, and let the glory of God be sung in all the languages and in a variety of tunes. That should be the Ideal. Respect the differences between the faiths and recognize them as valid as long as they do not extinguish the flame of unity."
Sathya Sai Baba
Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso
"This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness". Dalai Lama

Free the journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee from Prison in North Korea. They did not go to North Korea on purpose!
[edit] Detention of Current TV journalists by the DPRK in March 2009 Wikinews has related news: North Korean military detains two American journalists The North Korean military has detained two American journalists working for Current TV after they allegedly crossed into North Korea from China.[10]
"Two reporters working for a U.S.-based Internet news media outlet, including a Korean American, were detained by North Korean authorities earlier this week, and they remain in custody there," said Yonhap news agency, quoting an unnamed diplomatic source. Reports say that the journalists were both warned several times by the N. Korean military, about crossing the border.[11]
The two female journalists are Korean American Euna Lee and Chinese American Laura Ling of Current TV based in California in the United States. Lee is the editor of the news for Current TV and Ling is one of the agency's reporters. They were said to have been shooting a video of the border region of China and N. Korea when they were arrested at the Tumen River. Laura Ling is the sister of well known CNN reporter Lisa Ling.
The U.S. says they are concerned about the incident.
"We're aware of reports that early in the morning of March 17, China time, two American citizens were taken into custody across the Tumen river by what appear to be North Korean border guards. We are working with Chinese government officials in that particular area to ascertain the whereabouts and welfare of the Americans in question. We've also been in touch with North Korean officials to express our concern about the situation," said U.S. State Department spokesman, Fred Lash.
On March 30, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the state news agency of North Korea, reported that preparations were under way for indictme
I sent the comment I just sent you to a lot of people, and I noticed that I spelled Michael's name wrong on some of the comments! I am a bit OCD. I was not happy about that. I went back and deleted the comments that I could, and resent them. lol If you had one with his name spelled wrong... Well, my bad! Paz
