"To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle."

— Don Juan (Carlos Castaneda)

freedom & humility ~

Beautiful quote of purity Coralinni's!!! - u share w/ us a classic from da great Carlos Castaneda ~ YEA!

And it one of those dat makes u think deeply's n' go hmmm.......takin' an introspective look inward into da deepest realms of our consciousness - understandin' da true meanin' of our reality in our universe ~ Da soul is undying, boundless by space & time ~

DAT RIGHT! - our souls long to connect w/ da Divine - a realm dat is unknown to so many - yet longs to reach out into our hearts - only until we let go of our preconceived notions of our world - (how things are Vs. how we think they should be) - and allow for dat cosmic leap to da infinite to happen -- we shall have da freedom n' inner joy we all been lookin' for ~

OO! - but also, one should remember's -- dat even dat same freedom or happiness can entrap us if we're not careful's too! --- meaning.......with dat inner freedom we have.......one should most of all........remain humble in da heart........dat humility is a true virtue ~ and everyone can see it from within ~

Just like da flame of da candle: it remains a bright ray of light.....yet it stays humble n' meek --- dat what's so beautiful about's it ~ it's pure innocence n' da state of just "being" ~ (it's in dat zone of silence.....where one connects to da heart of da cosmos - Da ever-present Eternal Light) ~

May we all have dat same humbleness in our hearts as we continue to seek our inner joy ~ Sat Nam ~

~ Peace, Love, Joy ~
