cyclops' bones

"if we rearrange a mammoth skeleton into a two-legged giant and place it next to a human skeleton, we can begin to sense how the ancient Greeks interpreted many of the giant bones they observed around the Mediterranean."

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.

March 11, 1934: At the Istanbul Academy of Art, students studied from classical statues, dug up nearby. Until 1926, Turkish art students were prohibited by the Koran from making representations of the human form  — only architecture was taught at the academy previously. Photo: The New York Times

Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.

Hafiz (via lazyyogi)

[lazyyogi]

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.

“The desire to never leave your side, the desire to never see you again. The desire to see your face asleep on the pillow beside my face and to see your eyes open in the morning when I lie next to you—just watching you, waiting for you to wake up.”  ― John Irving, Until I Find You

Understand first that you are not the person you believe yourself to be. What you think yourself to be is mere suggestion or imagination. You have no parents, you were not born, nor will you die. Either trust me when I tell you so, or arrive to it by study and investigation. The way of total faith is quick, the other is slow but steady.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (via lazyyogi)

We are beings who are going to die. We were programmed to live like beasts, carrying loads of customs and other people’s beliefs until the very end; but we can change all that!

“Who Says Physical Fitness Is Only for the Youngsters?” asked the headline of a Jan. 11, 1969 article about exercise classes for people over 65. Here, a group practiced counting with exaggerated enunciation. “The idea is to exercise the face and rest the body,” read the article, which also named the instructor’s proudest achievement: “getting his class to do knee bends.” Photo: Patrick A.
