Re: What music are you listening to?
I don't get Taylor Swift.
So someone suggested a second chance, as she was a talented singer and songwriter from a background of country music.
So...
I listened to "The Tortured Poets Department". Well, some of it because...
I don't get Taylor Swift.

Re: Giving Up?
My question would be what or who is giving up? Do you mean this ego which has been trying to experience enlightenment for the past 50 or so years? Of course, the ego will never experience enlightenment due to the fact that enlightenment means freedom from the ego.
Hmm, deduction, .. never going to be a nun? Either you are a man or do not wish to become a nun? Unable to fly? Either you are not a bird or you do not go no airplanes? Wow, what else can I get wrong???

And what of the ‘practical’ person who uproots the last rose bush in a hundred square miles just in order to plant a few more stalks of wheat?

You’re being reasonable again. Might want to watch that

Re: Wild Flowers
I imagine there's a special place in hell for them along side the 'romantic' who uproots all the wheat to plant roses.

Re: lasting presence in the shortest time possible without going through a "dark night of the soul"
If I need to go thru rebirth again then there must be something I need to learn before I can go home.
My cousin + partner, have spent their health, monies and even at times, sanity, on building and rebuilding a house and garden. They have a lovely home, garden, visitors, family and lifestyle.
They feel they have built this. In one sense, their house and garden etc has built them. In other words, our roles and efforts, maintain our life and dictate the results of our path.
You want to go home? You are. Now, walk the walk and talk the talk. Mostly be the Bodhi not the bondage.

Re: Joy, Blissfulness, Silence
Then that is the place where the internet falls down, as a place of genuine sharing. You are welcome to discuss about my sharings, there is nothing wrong in it, but you may end up following the workings of the mind and miss the finger pointing to the moon…
