Every movement of your body has a purpose. When your mind is at peace, the purpose of each movement is apparent, from scratching your nose, to living up to one's expectations of oneself (or not).

Well, that's not always the case, something like tardive dyskinesia doesn't, however, I'll grant you that most other movements seem to.

Yes, it is the case. Everything, including every movement you make, has a purpose. What is not always the case is you knowing the purpose.

The consistent practice of still mind and body makes this as obvious as the sky and the earth.

Funny, you have not asked the name of The Brave.

What was the name of the brave, then?

Sinking Bear is my guess.

My guess is "God Fodder". Apparently, the only ones who "benefited" or learned anything were the people who learned from his death not to try to swim the lake. Heaven forbid anyone should pursue the yearnings of romance. God probably wanted him to lead the tribe as a skillful warrior and tactician or something like that instead. Maybe his was supposed to have been the one to lead his tribe to slaughter the people on the other side of the lake?

Love is.. loving someone that nobody else knows that you are loving, not even He.

..and when he awaketh from his slumber, he will awaketh into my arms.. and I, into His.

..and we will belong to each other, and nobody else, but each other.. so just He and I, a We.

Love [truly] is.. loving someone that nobody else wants to love.

I know what love is, but you wouldn't wanna know! Allahu Akbar.

Love is unconditional. The only love that exists. Free to love, free to be, any thing.

Conditional love is fake, it implies two.

Love is desire and/or pleasure with the knowledge that its source is outside yourself.

Well, whatever it is, it really feels good if a guy can find it when he's going through shit in life. Other than that, yours is a very elegant definition.

Overheard, about 20 years ago ...
