FOLLOW YOUR BLISS
BILL MOYERS: Do you ever have the sense of... being helped by hidden hands?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL: All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time - namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
WARNING: THIS PAGE IS ALWAYS Under Construction; I FLOW as water; I Ching is my friend; I MISS my CAT, PUSSY GALORE. BUT THEN: Less history more mystery.
I like meeting people all over & like making friends.. Met some very cool people here too. =)
Born in Los Angeles, grew up in the OC (Newport Beach), back in hell-A.
Hey I enjoy doing fun and interesting things. I love to hang out, chill, adventure, and even cuddle too, maybe.. Single by choice, I AM thinking about changing my mind! again. :D
The character & personality that comes with it counts a lot for me. That's what I got to work with.
A Mantra: FOLLOW YOUR BLISS. MANIFESTATION begins with VISION.

People will not remember you for whether you were good nor bad but for how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)
I would rather be whole than good. (Carl Jung)
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. (William Shakespeare)
Gutta cavat lapidem, non vi sed saepe cadendo - The drop excavates the stone, not with force but by falling often. (Ovid)
If you think you are so enlightened, go spend a week with your parents. (Ram Das)
Do what you like, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. (Dr. Suess)

Now go get Drunk and have A SOBER DRIVER when you head back home. The back streets will be full of cops on motor units hiding out to bust drunk drivers. There are four blogged L.A.P.D. d.U.i.
