Dragon's Blood is my favorite scent. I love it, something about it has resonated with me for over 20 years now. I am not certain why this needs to be admitted but there you go. Since a conversation here yesterday, I have been thinking again about where I have come from, the path that has led me here and where I am deciding to go. The spiritual elements which I had immersed my self in at one time has fallen away but that paradigm has not been ignored. Rather, I have focused more on existence rather than enlightenment. I came to the conclusion, erroneous or not that most of the illusions of this existence arises from seeking that what isn't and there is more growth in recognizing what actually is. When I was much younger, a lot of this held my attention, philosophy, mysticism, occultism, spiritual paths... all seeking what was behind the veil, what actually was the purpose. Now, I believe that being is the purpose, experience is the creation, the artistry... I had dropped a lot of my snobbish behavior a long time ago but now I have stripped away the arrogance of seeking. This is not to say that I am not inclined towards continuing to grow but rather I am not as focused on the words. To live with intention has become important to me. Say what you mean. Take nothing personal. All of these are thoughts that I came across in a book which I had dismissed as simple before but now resonates deeply. So, full circle but with a tad more knowing I have no fucking idea. Monkeys and turkish coffee... these are all good. Monkeys with turkish coffee, now that's just downright dangerous.
