"Over thinking, over analysing.
Separate the body from the mind." - Tool

next...

[Serpent]

With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down the door.
You'd better run.

Pink Floyd, Run like Hell, The Wall.

[Braden]

"Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion

Disintegrating as it goes; testing our communication

The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so

We cannot see to reach an end; crippling our communication."


"We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,

We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside

This holy reality, this holy experience.

Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal

All this pain is an illusion."


"I embrace my desire to

feel the rhythm, to feel connected

enough to step aside and weep like a widow

to feel inspired, to fathom the power,

to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,

to swing on the spiral

of our divinity and still be a human."

Tool

A song called "Wolfhunt" by the dissident musician/poet/bard Vladimir S. Visotsky. I'll try to loosely translate the lyrics.

I tear forward with all my strength, and with every tendon,
But today - just like yesterday -
They've surrounded me, I'm surrounded,
They chase us happily in numbers.

From behind the firs the twin-barrels thunder -
There the hunters hide in the shadow.
On the snow, wolves turn somersaults,
Having transformed into live targets.

REFRAIN:
The wolfhunt is on, the hunt is on!
For the grey predators - the veterans and the pups.
The chasers shout, and the dogs bark till they vomit.
Blood on the snow, and the red spots of the flags.

They don't play fair with the wolves,
These huntsmen, yet their hand won't tremble!
Having fenced off our freedom with flags,
The shoot confidently, with certainty.

A wolf can not break the tradition.
It seems, in our childhood, as blind pups,
We, wolfcubs suckled on the she-wolf
And absorbed: "You're not permitted beyond the flags!"

(REFRAIN)

Our legs and jaws are fast
But why,pack-leader -give us an answer -
Do we 'alluredly' run at the shot,
And don't attempt to go beyond the restriction?

A wolf must not, cannot do otherwise!
And here my time ends:
The one to whom I am destined,
Has smiled and raised his rifle.

(REFRAIN)

But I have come out of my obedience,
And gone past the flags - the thirst for life is stronger!
Only behind me I gleefully heard,
The astonished cries of the men.

I tear forward with all my strength, and with every tendon,
But today is not like yesterday -
They surrounded me, surrounded,
But the hunters were left with nothing!

(REFRAIN)

Rammstein - Nebel (Mist)

They stand with their arms tightly around each other
a mixture of flesh, so rich in days
where the sea touches the land
she wants to tell him the truth

But the wind eats her words
where the sea ends
she holds his hand, trembling
and kissed him on the forehead

She carries the evening in her chest
and knows that she must wither away
she lays her head in his lap
and asks for a last kiss

and then he kissed her
where the sea ends
her lips, delicate and pale
and his eyes tear up

The last kiss was so long ago
the last kiss
he does not remember it anymore

this topic comes around every few months and I always say the same thing. Why stop now?

Chuck D:
"When I get mad, I put it down on a pad
Give you something that you never had!"

I like this one because it could refer to throwing down shaui chiao/judo style, or drawing/poetry...

KRS1
"No bogus hocus pocus
I bring back the focus
To skills, if you notice
My position is lotus."

or translated into ma terms: forget that qimaster nonsense. Practice practical techniques and strategies and meditate every day to achieve a balance of ability and wisdom.

Just to explain the previously posted lyrics:

When hunting wolves it is common to set up a perimiter of red flags. For some reason the fluttering bright flags are very intimidating to wolves, so they tend to be reluctant to go past them. Visotsky uses this as a metaphor for the "virtual" restrictions we place on ourselves every day, to the extent that we would rather face our doom than confront our fears.
In the Soviet context, Visotsky was one of the few people who did manage to go "beyond the flags". He married a foreigner and was, unlike most Soviet citizens, allowed to travel overseas as he wished. He was untouchable, despite writing numerous metaphorically critical songs.
