Unfuck yourself in 1…2…3…

Gary John Bishop writes:

I often get messages from people who want to change their lives or are working on changing their lives or that they just CAN’T change their lives. Many ask for help or advice on how they can “Unfuck” themselves. Here it is… Unfucking yourself isn’t a thing. It’s not a linear process with a beginning and an end, in fact quite the opposite in many ways. There’s no “Unfuckedville” at the end of the rainbow and all you have to do is get there. Basically, Unfucking Yourself is a way of life. It’s a constant interruption, of re-focus and re-alignment, of catching yourself in those moments when you’re about to do what you usually do and condemn yourself to the same old, same old life you have. Whether it’s losing your temper or selling out on your get-out-of-debt plan or… Continue reading: Unfuck yourself in 1…2…3…

“Stufen/Steps” von/by Hermann Hesse

One of the most beautiful poems ever written read by the author. Words and translation follow…

“Stufen”

Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend

Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe,

Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend

Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern.

Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe

Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne,

Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern

In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben.

Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,

Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.

Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,

An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,

Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,

Er will uns Stuf’ um Stufe heben, weiten.

Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise

Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen,

Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,

Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.

Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde

Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden,

Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden…

Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!

steps

“Steps”

As every blossom wilts and every youth

Yields to age, so blooms every step of life,

So too blooms every wisdom and every virtue

In its time and may not last forever.

The heart must at all of life’s calls

Be ready to part and begin anew,

So that it may, with courage and without grief,

Give itself to new engagements.

In every beginning lives a magic,

Protecting us and helping us to live.

Lithely and cheerfully should we stride from room to room,

On none hang like we would a home,

The spirit of the world wants not to fetter or restrict us,

Rather to lift us step by step, to expand us.

We barely arrive in a phase of life

And already complacency threatens.

Only he who is ready to break off and travel

May break from crippling habituation.

Perhaps even the hour of death

Will dispatch to us fresh and new,

Life’s call to us will never end…

Well then, my heart, be and fare well!

Eight boys saved from flooded Thai cave as challenging rescue efforts continue

Eight boys saved from flooded Thai cave as challenging rescue efforts continue

Four more boys have been saved from a flooded Thai cave following rescue efforts to extract the young group and their football coach, bringing the total to eight. On Sunday, the first four boys were removed from the cave by divers before being taken to hospital. ITV News Correspondent Debi Edward, who is currently at the scene in Chiang Rai, said ambulances came to take each boy to safety. The second phase of the painstakingly executed rescue mission started at 11am local time. 90 divers and cave experts line the 2.5 mile route that the boys must navigate with support to find their way out of the cave’s tunnels. The rescue operation will now resume on Tuesday to bring the remaining five – four boys and their football coach – which may have to be done in more than one operation: Eight boys saved from flooded Thai cave as challenging rescue efforts continue
