And at the same time, this particular clan of people always seems to be running the world throughout history.
V--either that's the case, and they are textbook psychotic killers who need to be "treated" or jailed like all killers who think they are doing good, or they are malevolent beings who "know it's wrong," as it's said for legal purposes, who should ...

after a long winter.
It finally feels as spring has arrived
those are some pretty cool pictures of nature! where are # 4, 8, and 9 from?
But, I will take up this challenge and will write something,
I will send it to you only on the condition
that you honestly tell me what you think.
How is that?
Is talking way too much one of your "bad habits" you mentioned earlier?
Before you decide to end this one too, please let me read some of your poems.
You write, don't you?
I like the titles you have chosen for your new pics, and some of the old ones too.
There is only one danger, though.
You may find yourself speechless, surrounded by all
the ancient, timeless beauty.

When I was in India, I was swept away by the artistry, craftsmanship which is everywhere. From the hand-carved marble in the temples, to the miniature painters; the beautiful, colourful textiles, all done by hand, using block prints and plant-extracted pigments for the colours. I really have no words to describe the admiration I have for that kind of culture. I know that they are not paid well. And I am afraid to wonder how long these traditions will survive in modern mass-production times, but for me they are priceless and have a soul.
Something funny.
When I woke up this morning I had this dream that those artist from the pictures in your website have made a similar painting based on our posts on GI2MR, as if they were telling our story. Because, you know, how the comments come one after another in a similar form as those paintings, and somehow in my dream I was seeing these posts as a painting.
though the Vedas are ancient, I don't think they are dated or irrelevant.
But I agree with you, it is really wonderful when we can openly question the truths in them.
We should always be able to experience the freedom of questioning their authority, or the authority of any book in that matter.
If something allows you to exercise such a strength, then it really empowers manifestation of truth.
Many of the religions do not want you to question their authority.
i like your input on the conversation me and figseed were having. I left her a comment back, so I though I'd copy it over here for you:
You're right that the Vedas are not related to any religion. They are a pure science, the result of research done over thousands of years. I mainly just wanted to clear the air about some misconceptions people have about the ancient and sacred knowledge held within those verses. Even though I am vegetarian, I choose to defend those who eat meat because I don't believe in one path being more "right" or righteous than another. Those who criticize others for such practices, I feel, are choosing only to expose uncertainty in their own beliefs. This idea is what I feel the Vedas are all about; we can choose which path is right for ourselves, but to say what path is right for another is somewhat foolhardy. Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Mulsim, Jew, we all seek the same.
