When Love comes suddenly and taps
on your window, run and let it in but first
shut the door of your reason.
Even the smallest hint chases love away
like smoke that drowns the freshness
of the morning breeze.
To reason Love can only say,
the way is barred, you can’t pass through
but to the lover it offers a hundred blessings.
Before the mind decides to take a step
Love has reached the seventh heaven.
Before the mind can figure how
Love has climbed the Holy Mountain.
I must stop this talk now and let
Love speak from its nest of silence.
Rumi
this guy is good
You see I want that “my friends think I’m crazy” kind of love. That “reckless” kind of love, that “wake up early, make you breakfast” kind of love. That “crack open my life and say look, you gotta see this kind of love forget the shallow stuff”. I want the “deepest” kind of love, that “I wanna stay up late and tell you all my secrets” kind of love, that “every time I see you I fall into pieces” kind of love.
I want that “staying next to me” kind of love, that “you are my destiny” kind of love. That “no matter what happens, you get the best of me” kind of love. That “you get my heart and my mind, this world gets the rest of me” kind of love. That “invest in me” kind of love “because you already know that I invest in you” kind of love. That “you come home upset that you don’t have to say nothing, I already know what to do” kind of love.
I want that ‘stand next to me’ kinda love.” “Love Poem Medley” by Rudy Francisco (via yearsofmagicalthinking)
So much doom & gloom. Truth is, we really don’t know how this will turn out. 10,000 years is relatively insignificant with respect to how long human beings have been around, and barely a drop in the bucket since mammals appeared on this planet. I do agree that we need to respect our planet, but give up the cynicism & resignation in favour of aligning with the possibility that we will see our way through the challenges of the present and the future together. Spread love, not fear.Climate warming faster than any time in human history.
Temperatures are rising faster today than they have at any point since at least the end of the last ice age, about 11,000 years ago, according to a new study.
The finding is based on a global reconstruction of temperature records inferred from ice cores, fossils in ocean sediments and other sources. While previous studies reached similar conclusions, they covered only about 2,000 years. The new reconstruction extends the global record through the Holocene, the most recent geologic epoch.
“Another way to think of it is the period where human civilization was born, created, and developed and then progressed to where we are now,” Shuan Marcott, a climate scientist at Oregon State University who led the study, told NBC News.
If you’re one of those who still think global warming is hooey, let me ask you a question: do you really believe we can literally spend a century pumping tons of chemicals into the atmosphere and have nothing happen? Poof! It all just disappears like crap down a toilet because… Well, because why, exactly? Does that really make any sense at all to you? As always, conservative positions seem reasonable — until you fucking think about them for a fraction of a second.
This is it, people. We’re standing at the edge of the cliff without a lot of room left between us and the open air. We can turn back or we can jump.
Think we’re spending money now? Wait until you see how much we have to spend to hold the seas back, to irrigate deserts, to fight wars over water. That’s spending money. In comparison, stopping the warming trend would be chump change.
