Reap

Angel or demoned?
Friend or foe?
Whos to know? I reap, reap, reap what I sew.

Faces they change,
familar to strange
or seeming weirdly a glow...

But who's to know? You reap, reap, reap what you sew.

Just in your head?
Its just in your head.
or, perhaps, its your senses' instead?

Angel or demoned?
Friend or foe?
Who's to know? When we reap, reap, reap what we sew.

Osho Zen tarot...





I been trying to learn how to read and interpret tarot cards for the last year or so. I became intrested in them when I decided i wanted to start listening to my inner guide/my unconcious mind and delve into divination... i discovered tarot to be the most accurate and mind inhancing source to use. Firstly the cards are beautiful, they reflect true human feelings and situations through symbolisim and imagery. Secondly they help u to answer questions you want to know the answers to and act as a guide... they really get me thinking! I like the idea of being able to make contact with my inner guide through the cards. I would defently advise others to give them a try, i also think they act as a type of meditation and can give you advice you may not be able to recieve from another person.

ANYWAY, i was using rider-waite as my first tarot and then my friend brought me some zen tarot... well i have to say i am loving them soooo much. They focus more on the here/now aspect of the situation in question and i really feel i can connect with them. Its very important that u find a tarot deck that suits you!
I agree with the meanings behind the cards and they speak to me in ways other decks have not... being very intrested in zen philosophy i feel these cards hit the nail on the head! Was wonderinng if anyone else uses them? or what your view is on Osho? i have not quite worked out if I like him or not... i think his cards are brilliant though! ;-)


'Life is the game of games, the ultimate game. It has tremendous meaning if you take it as a game and you don't become serious about it. If you remain simple and innocent, the game is going to impart many things to you.' - OSHO

Make someone see


Don't just dance for yourself. Include other people; engage them in the beauty of dancing and change someone's life!

Footwork...Pathwork...Lifework. Life in motion. Love in motion. Live in motion... Devotion to the motion of dance! Day in motion. Night in motion... The notion to the motion of dance!

Up Above By Amy Rennie


I want to pick the skies apart in the light, in the dark.
Understand the voice that calls in the night, in my heart.
See it all from up above, full of light and full of love.
Understand the true nature of things, what life takes and what life brings...

The Creator's joy is in creation itself; there is no other reward.


Nijinsky, was asked once, "You dance before big audiences-don't you feel nervous?" He said, "As far as I am concerned, I feel nervous, but only to the point before the dance starts. Once I am in my dance I am absolutely alone, there is nobody else. Not only do others disappear, a moment comes sometimes-and that is the greatest moment-when I myself disappear and only the dance remains."
