Pi squared ~

So today was a day off on "The Mountain". I was fed inspiration from so many different sources that included documentaries on yoga and the Buddha, to music, yoga with Mz. P and a lovely talk and an exceptional movie, The Life of Pi. I had read the book, twice. The movie captured certain elements that I didn't even catch in the book, his eyes, the tiger's eyes. I truly believe in the soul. Do you ever think that a soul could be defined as a person's moral and emotional sense of identity? I heard this thought expressed and thought I would share it to no one particular however I may revisit myself and I'd love to know my thoughts on it then. It touched me so deeply. I didn't care that there were over 70 people surrounding me. I wept through most of it. It is a must see. Life changing. Inspirational. Riveting. The cinematography was worth anything that may not be a true representation from the book that the screen may have missed, it was spectacular. Truly. What a lesson tonight about finding God.  I too have met Jesus, the Buddha, Krishna, and Allah. I am currently studying a part of the Kabbalah.  I believe the whole world holds a piece of the puzzle and where it is all true it is all false. Where we have it all we have nothing. Is it any wonder I fell in love with Life of Pi many years ago and now the movie?  To say it resonates it an understatement, yet it was such a profound moment, almost validating that once again, I am not alone. These are not original thoughts I have had. I revel in that knowledge.


The Life of Pi did open up a memory of another book I read that brought a similar range of feelings in much the same way. Yes, that was a bit vague however it is a bit too much to pull apart tonight and I really desire a solid night's sleep. Anyways the book is called The Gargoyle. I fell in love with that book. Ah, another love thing. Noted! A book on extreme suffering, perseverance, compassion, doing life differently, a shift in perception, letting go, and one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever read.

I found this article today when reading something on C.S. Lewis. There was an excerpt that read:
a story told by Jostein Gaarder in The Solitaire Mystery, where he writes:
A Russian cosmonaut and a Russian brain surgeon
were once discussing Christianity. The brain surgeon
was Christian, but the cosmonaut wasn’t. “I have
been in outer space many times,” bragged the
cosmonaut, “but I have never seen any angels.” The
brain surgeon stared in amazement, but then he said,
“And I have operated on many intelligent brains, but I
have never seen a single thought.”

What did I want to say tonight? Just that I am blessed to be here.

P.S. You two, there is nothing greater than knowing you have survived so far and are just getting started. Life has been difficult but again, remember it doesn't need to continue to be so. That part is a choice, better choices result in the hard parts but not extreme difficulties. It's your story, choose how to tell it to yourself because you are the only you that matters. What you are, is utterly perfect. I am your mom and I adore you and see every aspect of you. It's in every part of you that I rejoice for your uniqueness, your inherent goodness, your intelligence, your potential, and your current ability. You are. I am. We shall be together one day. That is my dream. I love you. Mom
