“Siddhartha had one single goal— to become empty, to become empty of thirst, desire, dreams, pleasure and sorrow— to let the Self die. No longer to be Self, to experience the peace of an emptied heart, to experience pure thought— that was his goal. When all the Self was conquered and dead, when all passions and desires were silent, then the last must awaken, the innermost of Being that is no longer Self— the great secret!”
—Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (via buddhabrot)
“ …..people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, “So what.” That’s one of my favorite things to say. So what. ”
—Andy Warhol
a few weeks ago THIS tree spoke to me....
i stared for an hour and this is what i heard…. “consider my wisdom……..”
U ever wonder
How wonderful it would be
To be as
Content
And patient
As a tree?
I think
Animals were impatient plants
Bad seeds
Who disconnected from the Earth’s soil
Evolved into humans
And in return
ruined
Their capabilty of truely growing
incapable of truley knowing…..
Chasing the wind
Rather than being still in it
Racing the Sun
Rather than feeling it
Consider the things
The plants have seen
And been through
And gained
By staying the same
Yet accepting the change
One day
I hope to be
As grounded
As stable
As patient
As keen
As the ever growing
All knowing
Tree

50 Japanese nuclear engineers are staying behind at the Fukushima Power Plant to try and prevent a nuclear meltdown. They are getting the same amount of radiation per hour that a nuclear engineer receives in his/her ENTIRE career. Get these heroes on the front page.
EVERYONE REBLOG IN SUPPORT.

they really are.. considering they know exactly how they’re going to die now. there organs are going to melt inside there bodies and there skin will literally just melt off there bodies. fucking heros if you ask me. fuck nuclear power plants, this world is so messed up. — that was so negative, but im not going to delete it.

” I am not this image
I am not my name
(Jhene Aiko Efuru Chilombo)
I am not my age
( March 16 1988)
I am not my ethnicity
(Japanese, African American, Native American, etc….)
I am not where I was born and raised
(Los Angeles, California)
I am not my mistakes and misfortunes
I am not what I have gained and have lost
I am
A mother to a beautiful girl named Namiko.
A baby sister to 3 brothers, 3 sisters and a big sister to 1.
The daughter of Christina Yamamoto and Karamo Chilombo
but more relevantly, the Daughter of Water, Earth and the Sun.
I signed to Epic/TUG as a 12 year old child, and asked to be released from both companies at the age of 16 to finish high school. I escaped the made up world of Hollywood to experience the natural beauty of the real world.
I am a writer, so I never stopped writing.
I am a singer, so I never stopped singing.
I am a student of life, so I never stopped learning and experiencing.
Shortly before I conceived my daughter, I stepped back into the field and took a meeting with a label head . In this meeting, I was innocently told, to “sell” myself “when walking into these meetings.”
That’s when I decided I would sail my “self” rather than sell my “self”.
About a year and a half later. I conceived my second child….
“sailing soul(s)”, with the amazing Los Angeles based producers, Fisticuffs.
sailing soul(s) is my first of many offerings to any and everyone who will listen and pay attention.
The message is a simple one: love yourself in this moment, love this moment, know this moment as truth … be this moment …. sail you’re soul….don’t sell you’re soul…..its the only thing we can take with us , where ever it is we go… .
….. “souled out” coming soon…. to be continued….. “
