I like your taste. I always liked Gibran.
"When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth......
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love.
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears."

Posted by FeelingGeminiOne of my favorites. It was so far ahead in spiritual, moral development and It was evident he placed an incredible amount of value on human life and in those times that's amazing. It's common sense. For his time on earth he was way ahead of the world. I really like the way he emphasizes what you do while you're alive is important. The other quote......I like is about God's if you live a righteous life then the gods should grant you passage to eternal life but if not they aren't righteous so he'd rather go elsewhere. That's not the exact quote but it is epic.Posted by NobleSagThis is a very good book. The emperor, yet humble and noble in his thoughts.

I love your cyberhugs dont stop keep `em coming 🙂 I just cannot imagine, that you workout hard 2 hours, except with low intensity or a lot of short breaks. You dont look like a beast either, frankly. Or do you do powerlifting? Those women are beasts but still look relatively normal
Posted by ParkourlerNo power lifting as I don't wanna look like an INGA! My weights consist of bi/tri ceps, legs, abs, hips, etc. I learned that working cardio is no no for me since I want to gain "muscle". I work on weights that are "machines" at the Air Force/Army gym and NOT the actual lifting of weights like the ones in this video. Thanks! I use to be a size 14 blue jean and now I wear a size 8 (today is dress down day at work and I LOVE wearing my blue jeans to work!). I eat allot of protein to help maintain the muscle gain, eliminated alcohol, eat fruits/veggies, drink protein shakes, and I drink tons of water a day.Posted by EvatheDivaPosted by ParkourlerDepends; the norm is a minute or two; again depends. 🤗 cyber hugs!Posted by EvatheDivaYou workout 2 hours with weights everyday? ————— How many minutes do you rest?Posted by ParkourlerWe have a choice.
