Bad dreams

One day you will look back and laugh at yourself.

You’ll say, “ I can’t believe I was so asleep!

How did I ever forget the truth?

How ridiculous to believe that sadness and sickness

Are anything other than bad dreams.”

- Rumi

The Intellectual Quest

The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral,

But it is not the same as the spiritual quest.

The spiritual quest is on another level altogether,

Spiritual wine has a subtler taste.

The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect.

The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.

- Rumi

During one of my Countless Medical Examinations for GallBladder/Ulcers, I won't even get into Colonoscopy..The technician asks me which Flavor of Barium would I like..And she lists all the Flavors.. "There's Strawberry, Cherry, Pineapple and Banana"..
I was in the mood for Banana..
Don't get me wrong, I expected somewhat a strange flavor...
However..
I told the technician when I'm done, I wanna know what FUCKING plantation makes that kind of motherfucking Bananas, that fucking shit was NASTY, I've smelled tastier Farts.
And if it was a sip, I'd be fine, oh no no no..."Keep Drinking, Keep Drinking Dont Stop"
I swear to God I almost Barfed, WTF ??!?!?

“Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress. Remind yourself, as often as necessary, that you are a creature of God and have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You can fly when you decide that you can. Never consider yourself defeated again. Let the vision in your heart be in your life's blueprint. Smile!” - Og Mandino
