I decided to poke fun/seriously restructure a list of "life phrases" that I found on a friends MySpace blog. Needless to say I don't agree with the majority of the original list. So I made some changes of my own: (The original on the top and my addendum at the bottom) Feel free to add.
1. Life's Metaphors are God's Instructions
2. There is nothing between you and the Infinite. Now, let go.
3. It's time for something that was beautiful turn into something that else that is beautiful. Now, let go.
4. You wish for resolution was a prayer. Your being here is God's response. Let go, and watch the stars come out- on the outside and on the inside.
5. With all your heart, ask for grace and let go.
6. With all your heart forgive, FORGIVE YOURSELF, and let go.
7. Let your intentions be freedom from useless suffering. Then, let go.
8. Watch the heat of the day pass into the cold of the night. Let go.
9. When the karma of a relationship is done, only love remains. It's safe. Let go.
10. When the past has passed for you at last, let go. Then climb down and begin the rest of your life. With great joy.
-Eat, Pray, Love
~My Version~
1. Life's metaphors are life's metaphors.
2. There is one small thing standing between you and the infinite, it is called life. Now, go.
3. There is a time for light and a time for darkness, and both are equally beautiful.
4. Your wish for resolution was your concession to laziness. Do something. God made you for more then stargazing. (Even though stargazing is awesome!)
5. Asking for grace is about as effective as planting a money tree.
6. If you are typing on a computer and you have friends who will read this post, then you are doing a hell of a lot better then the majority of the world. Blow out the candles on your pity party cake, learn how to take care of yourself, and begin to love.
7. Let your intentions be freedom. Suffering will always seem useless and it is completely unavoidable.
8. The heat of the day leaves long before sunset. You don't need to see it to feel it, but it is often a pretty sight.
9. WTF is the karma of a relationship? Put down your 17 magazine, and let that shit go. Give until it hurts, and then give some more. You can't give what you don't have.
10. The past is past. There is no access. If you have an Uncle Rico Complex then just keep on throwin' that pigskin until it goes over that mountain.
Love, Have faith, Bring hope
