uni-tasking via the slow internet movement (thoughts on tiny buddha article)

by Leave a comment

i think i really like this “movement” i read about in today’s tiny buddha article… especially the part about stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
i’ve been slowing down for the past few years {especially after my foot/leg injury 2004/2005}
~ plus balancing work/career with art/play ~ and it’s helped improve my life immensely.
amazingly, the overall effect makes me feel like i am accomplishing more {mind~body~soul}
by living more balanced and not pushing so hard ~sb

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.~Virginia Woolf

P.O.W.~true love is independent

by 2 Comments

yes ~ POW! what a great quote from Mister Rogers. i came across this today while researching an article. this plain advice and honest opinion resonated with me. when i read it, i thought how simple this truth really is. and i realized for some people the concept might not be so easy, it might be outright conflicting or incredibly foreign. because for some people who live & love in fear to have independence & love together might represent opposing and counteractive forces
and an impossibility for now or for ever. yet for me today, this concept of true love seems so easy, so essential, so intuitive, and so eternal ~ sb … {READ MORE} …
