images from the past

I have finally decided to get the pro flickr account. I am meeting myself again.
After my summer massive awakening(as if I have been in a coma) it is a very refreshing exercise to take a real look at myself. It definitely feels like I am looking at somebody elsebut I do recognise myself.

There is a strange sense of lost and found and forgotten but remembering. I am writing this to warn all of you, that life is short and we have little time to waste. The only advice I can give is be aware.

I feel it is important to be conscious of the past and in active preparation for the future - to build that bridge, you need material - get it from from anything that you have - photographs, diaries, videos, emails, memorabilia, ask your mother the circumstances of your birth and your conception (I did that last year), ask your grandparents how did they met, check with your friends. And then relate everything to the present - it is a sensational feeling of being and knowing who you are. ANd stay there. Be now.

I think many people get confused that being in the present, being in the moment is about forgetting about the past and not worrying about the future - well, it isn't. One is only capable of being in the here and now if you have full awarness about the past and you are fully anticipating the future.

I am off to a Biohazard concert tomorrow. I haven't listend to this band for more than 10 years. It is a bridge that I am trying to build.

Unfortunately my bridge across forever is currently off the table. But if the buddha dated I will start building it in the near future. Tune in to Darwin's Radio and remember catastrophe living.
