people will never forget how you made them feel.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Music

"There's no such thing as a wrong note," said jazz pianist Art Tatum. "It all depends on how you resolve it." Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis had a similar philosophy. "It's not the note you play that's the wrong note," he said. "It's the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong."

Pisces week of May 15, 2012: I think that's an excellent understanding for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, Pisces. Be wary of coming to premature conclusions about alleged mistakes. Wait to hear the entire song and see the bigger picture.

    Catherine Todd Well, I'll be! Turns out I'm in excellent company... had no idea. 
    
    I've always said "there's no wrong notes in music" and it's impossible to make a mistake when you play music, it's just how you incorporate the note in what follows. When my finger slips, it ends up taking me in a different direction. It's often quite a good thing.
    
    All music makes a melody. Every single note fits with the others.  That's what I believe and my experience, running in that Silver Stream.

Osho: Friendship, Love, Maturity

“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”
― Osho

“Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.”

 Osho. author of Courage

“Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love - now you are love.”
― Osho

“You feel good, you feel bad, and these feelings are bubbling from your own unconsciousness, from your own past. Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.”
― Osho

“The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it.”
― Osho

 

 

“Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within 

“With me, illusions are bound to be shattered. I am here to shatter all illusions. Yes, it will irritate you, it will annoy you - that's my way of functioning and working. I will sabotage you from your very roots! Unless you are totally destroyed as a mind, there is no hope for you.”
― Osho

“I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection. I would like you to remember again and again, I am imperfect, the whole universe is imperfect, and to love this imperfection, to rejoice in this imperfection is my whole message.”
― Osho

About this author

edit data

Chandra Mohan Jain, called Osho in only the last year of his life, was born on December 11, 1931 and died on January 19, 1990.

Osho was born in the home of his maternal grandparents, in Kuchwada, located in the Madhya Pradesh state in India. He lived with his grandparents until he was seven years old. He was spoiled by his grandmother – he did not have to go to school or do anything that he did not want to do.

His family were members of the Taran Panth sect of Jainism (a religion that calls for a path of non-violence towards all living beings, and relies on self-effort in progressing the soul on the spiritual ladder to divine consciousness.)... more

Rain ~ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

.

 When rain falls on dry land, it activates certain compounds
in the soil that release a distinctive aroma.
"Petrichor" is the word for that smell.
If you ever catch a whiff of it when there's no rain,
it's because a downpour has begun somewhere nearby,
and the wind is bringing you news of it.
I suspect that you will soon be awash
in a metaphorical version of petrichor, Aquarius.
A parched area of your life is about to receive much-needed moisture.

FreeWillAstrology.com

I love the smell of the rain falling on parched soil... and didn't know why!

That's been my life recently...
Rain Rain come again come again the rain come down...

The Artist

The artist is not a person endowed with free will

who seeks his own ends,

its purpose within him.

The Spirit of Guidance

.

As the light of the sun helps the plant to grow,

so the divine Spirit helps the soul towards its perfection.

                        Bowl of Saki, April 8, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

The Spirit of Guidance is a plant that grows and blossoms when it meets with response and care; and when it is watered by the rainfall of divine inspiration it blooms in the light of the divine sun. The Spirit of Guidance is the light of God, which may be likened to a lantern that the farmer carries when walking on the farm in the darkness of night. It is like a searchlight, which shows up any object upon which it is thrown; and so when the light of the Spirit of Guidance is thrown upon any aspect of life, man receives a keen insight into it. In the Spirit of Guidance one finds a living God active in the heart of every person.
