our potentiality-for-Being

"sometimes there is a book that comes into existence which acts like a timebomb on the intellectual community..."


i studied this book & man {Being & Time/Martin Heidegger} while i was doing Philosophy at uni ~for one semester :)~ & it has always moved me...


He writes of Dasein [or people] which translated means being there, we are beings who are there


of our tendency towards seeing
& hearkening


& how our state of mind & understanding can be discovered through discouse


i've always thought it akin to Kierkegaards "Knight of faith"


he explains of how we get swept up in the They-self[or the world]
but our conscience reminds us[or calls to us]


to help us find our "ownmost-potentiality-for-being", that which we can press into
& become authentic beings


how moods are assertained by observation of one another


& how it is our responsibility{through knowledge & will} become master of our moods


& find our destiny...{how to give an overview of a thousand page book in a hundred words or less?}


while i was reading this out to Mum today & discussing it with her, my 12 year old sister exclaimed "thats the most beautiful thing i've ever heard!"


thats when i thought i'd share it with you
hope your day is filled with beautiful possibilities!!!

~ tale of a tea cup...

on days when poems become symphonies...

{"it is the inner essence of poetry to awaken & enlarge the mind itself by rendering it[the mind] the receptical of one thousand unapprehended combinations" ~ P.B Shelley}


...we love to sing along :) & include our tea cups:


such a versatile & well travelled little ornament


that has held a wide array of cherished contents


a precious little companion

because today i seek inspiration!!!

~ the merit of a smile '.'

the days have been long & like winding journies, {so i guess this post is too...}, filtered with smiles from friends by way of text messages{their merit is extraordinary}, & seeing with new eyes{perspectives that move us from where we are to somewhere higher, kinder, more endearing to the heart} watching this cherishable movie, & humming all the while, because thats what dreams are made of!!!

[with my absolute favourite quote from one of Dickens' novels -which was said to a girl about her PA after he searched for her for many years through the great depravity & hardship they were both enduring-

"Aye Emily, beautiful & drooping, cling to him with the utmost trust of thy bruised heart; for he has clung to thee, with all the might of his great love"!!!]
