    About MySpace
    "...I've found that the world that exists here is very, very far removed from Reality and often an addictive escape from the messy interactions one has with real human beings. Myspace is a hermetically sealed glass ball where you present yourself exactly as you want to be. You see people's personas, not their real selves. Bits and pieces slip through (sometimes) but the gritty realness of human interaction is missing"

    "...The "sense of God" is not a metaphor: it is a consciousness as sharp as love or pain, heat or light; it is like the homing instinct of birds which can be neither explained nor denied. And to those who experience it, there is no doubt about it's reality..."

About me:

August Miller's Facebook profile

1/6/09
"Life is a storm my young friend, you will bask in the sunlight one moment be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into the storm as you shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst for I will do mine. Then the Fates will know you as we know you..."
- The Count of Monte Cristo

"For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation."
Rainer Maria Rilke

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
JACK KEROAC

What Should We Do about that Moon?
"A wine bottle fell from a wagon
And broke open in a field.
That night a hundred beetles and all their cousins Gathered
And did some serious binge drinking.
They even found some seed husks nearby
And began to play them like drums and whirl.
This made God very happy.
Then the 'night candle' rose into the sky
And one drunk creature, laying down his instrument
Said to his friend - for no apparent reason,
"What should we do about that moon?"
Most everyone has laid aside the music
Tackling such profoundly useless Questions."
HAFIZ


"A person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which and simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace, whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them they are always doing both."
~A ZEN POET


"Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed."
~KAHLIL GIBRAN





“I feel something within me, something that leaves its resting place and attempts to rise, something that has been embedded like an anchor at great depth; I do not know yet what it is, but I can feel it mounting slowly; I can measure the resistance, I can hear the echo of great spaces traversed….”
~PROUST, from "In Search of Lost Time"


"If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face and say,
Like this."

"When someone mentions the gracefulness
of the night sky, climb up on the roof
and dance and say,
Like this?"

"If anyone wants to know what “spirit” is,
or what “God's fragrance” means,
lean your head toward him or her.
Keep your face there close.
Like this."


~ RUMI, from “Like This”....
