Cells

 


The most detailed model of ONE human cell to date, obtained using x-rays, nuclear magnetic resonance, and cryoelectron microscopy data sets. Aren't we all just so filled with magical possibilities?  Most recent estimates put the number of cells in one body at around 30 trillion. Written out, that's 30,000,000,000,000.

The Painted Drum


 

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could. ~Louise Erdrich (Book: The Painted Drum)

Embodying the Tao.” -- The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tsu (#47)

 


“If you wish to attain oneness with the Tao,

don’t get caught up in spiritual superficialities.

Instead, live a quiet and simple life,

free of ideas and concepts.

Find contentment in the practice of undiscriminating virtue, the only true power.

Giving to others selflessly and anonymously,

radiating light through the world

and illuminating your own darkness, 

your virtue becomes a sanctuary

for yourself and all beings.

This is what is meant by embodying the Tao.”


-- Brian Walker’s translation of a truly remarkable book – Hua Hu Ching: The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tsu (#47)

"We lie in the lap of immense intelligence,

which makes us receivers of its truth

and organs of its activities."

Most religions adopt the idea of a “savior” and state that the world will remain filled with evil until this savior comes and fills it with goodness and righteousness.
Maybe our problem on this planet is that people expect someone else to come solve their problems instead of doing it themselves! ”
