All things beautiful


"As you wander through this troubled world, in search of all things beautiful" ... this is a line from the song "Lullaby" by Dixie Chicks. So fine a song, so great a line. After working so hard, so long, I am out in the world again. When I take the bus to school in the morning, I look at all those beautiful people riding along. Their hair, their clothes, all those different faces and sizes. I am stuck with awe. These god-like beings are living in the same world as me, on the same bus.

And on the school: revelations of authors and thinkers you have heard about, but never got to knew before now. And others, completely strangers, which voices that sound so true. Lands, history, the secret knowledge of looking and judging.
I feel like I have entered another reality, in my old body, but without the old cravings for sex, success and ambition you had when young. I like this hunger for knowledge, it feels so much better than the hunger for money and the trap of consuming habits.

I think my spiritual body will get in good shape here.
