Better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy.  And in the final tolling it often turns out that the facts are more comforting than the fantasy. ~ Carl Sagan

Thy Will Be Done

I do not pretend to understand the universe; it will always have its secrets and I will not always be privy to it's inner workings.

Yes, yes, this is me admitting I do not know everything.  Truth is, I know very little.

What I do know is this...

The universe unfolds as it should and neither you nor I can or should try to control that.  Call it destiny, call it fate, call it the path you are on, call it whatever you want, it is all happening as it should.  If you cannot find you way or you lose your way, the mere act of handing yourself over to the universe will grant you resolve.  But beware.  The universe does not always give you what you want but it will give you what you need.  Do not be greedy.  Accept what comes and understand that the universe is serving your best interests.

Don't believe me?  Think this is just more of my zen floating Buddha talk?  Chew on this: three nights ago I found myself at a crossroads with no answers to the questions I was asking myself, literally exasperated with where I was at.  I handed it all over to the universe and simply said, "Thy will be done."

It was done.

Welcome back Captain Celery.  I have missed you.  I have always loved you.

I have also asked the universe to arrange it so that you will never show up anywhere I am dressed in a Borat mankini.  I don't care how sexy your furry nipples are!

Do not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred book, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors.


Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.


~ Buddha

Random Sauce, Part Three

When I call you to talk to you about something very serious in nature, masturbating in my ear as a response is not only unflattering, it is rude and incredibly immature.

~~~~~

Sometimes the truth comes in large doses that are unbearable. And sometimes unloading the truth, while it may cause suffering, unloads a burden. That fucks with my Buddhist sensibilities but there comes a time when my self preservation is more important than your ego.

~~~~~

Respect.

~~~~~

Thank you for showing me what I am made of. Sometimes I forget about the strength that dwells within. Thanks for reminding me that I can be confident and live in a world that I created, that I own, and that is bullshit free.

~~~~~

Remember the third date rule ladies. Its a good way to weed out the frogs from the princes. And men folk, do not think that because the third date is over that its business time.

~~~~~

Stop. Before you go any further into your life, get your mobile phone/cellular device out, write down all your contacts and their information, and email it to yourself. You are most welcome.  Seriously, you will be thanking me when you lose/misplace/destroy your phone.  Trust.

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me

I know you're watching from afar.  I suspected you might be.  Or that you would at least pop in for a look.  Or eight.  Don't ask how I know, just understand that I do.

It's cool with me.

The way you left things isn't.

After all that happened, I really do deserve some kind of explanation.  Don't forget, above all things, we were best friends.  I was there for you even when you believed no one was.

I know you have your reasons.  I understand I may never fully understand those reasons.  Why not give me the benefit of the doubt and at least try to explain?

This silence, it smacks of cowardice.  I don't want to think that about you.  You're so much better than that.

I'll be honest -- it sucks that you would rather cause me misery, would rather have me believe you are dead, than tell me the truth.  I can handle the truth.  On many occasions it has been served up to me in large doses that would destroy most people.

I can handle the truth.

Question is, do you have the fortitude to say it?

I dare you to prove me wrong.

Oh ya, I went there.
