It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result. --- Mahatma Gandhi

Our Hearts Are Brave

We wish so passionately for that moment when our mettle is tested and we can show what we’re really made of. Our great stories, now movies and TV shows, are about this.

Our hearts are brave but our souls are tender and we feel too strongly the weight of our potential pain. We shut in our keenest awareness and are spared from seeing these moments which we yearn so strongly for, yet just as strongly fear.
We never have to face that fear of potential pain or the moment when our mettle is tested. We never have to choose or act and maybe that’s where the biggest fear lies – that our choice or action will reveal us to be lacking.
The tragedy is that our failure to notice, our avoidance, becomes our choice. The effect is the same as if we had looked honour in the face and, finding the cost too high, shut up our brave hearts and walked away.

Waking up

•February 27, 2013 • Leave a Comment

When my mother was sick and dying from lung cancer something started to change in me.  I started to look around and take stock of my world, and my role in it.
I saw an epidemic of rape & mysogeny and at best patriarchy. I saw disgusting violence and ridiculously selfish war. I saw 200 years of a grossly unsustainable lifestyle and a blindly stubborn,  sociopathic refusal to acknowledge or change it. I saw the worst of what a human can be.

When mom passed away she took something inside me with her. She took the safe, protecting distance which seperated me from the problems of the world. She too my ability to deny. She took my blinders off and woke me up.

I look around and im dumbfounded at the masses of people and their ability to stick their heads saf.ely in the sand and continue their lives as if nothing is happening. I find the chorus from a Rage Against The Machine song running through my head,  begging to be screamed out:

WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!!!!!!

WHICH Vs. THAT

WHICH Vs. THAT

 Is it strange that I find this really interesting? 

Language is cool.  I really like the written word. It resinates with me and is my favourite method of communication. I signed up for emails about grammar and language too.

Most awesome hair EVER

髪型ヘアカタログ/人気サロン発ビューティーBOXヘアスタイル.

 

It’s in Japanese so you have to surf it intuitively, but it’s not too hard.  I cut my hair when my mom passed away in October, going from very long, to very short.  I had short hair through my mid 20′s and early 30′s but I also had a lot more cash to blow on getting it cut and coloured.  Now, I’m having a hard time finding a stylist that I can both afford and that I like.

I made that terrible mistake that a lot of people can empathize with – I tried to cut my own hair.  Now I’m looking for an affordable place to get my hair cut, and finding it tough to choose between the many salons in my area.  But there’s hope.

Finding this page has given me a catalogue of haircuts I can show to my lucky stylist and if he or she is any good, they should be able to reproduce it.  It has also renewed my faith in the haircutting industry.  There IS something beautiful out there, even if you have to go to Asia to get it.  Or do you?

What if I just to went to a very asian salon?  One where the stylists would be trained in the hair cuts that are popular in Asia.  That might work.

Inspiring the Shift to a Sustainable Paradigm

I found this great list of 100 top documentaries and I’m excited to watch then.  My boyfriend and I watch documentaries together a few times a week so we can ship away at some of these.  For the record I’m not a huge documentary fan, especially if it’s the major source of your information or opinion.  I like to read the studies, articles, opinion peaces, I like to check facts and research people.  But I have to admit a documentary can be a great introduction to a subject or a relatively quick way to put all of the peaces together.
