no purpose, no evil, no good,
nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

Release each fear - your fears about your health,

To others, something amazing, extraordinary, or unexpected.
To me, Life is a miracle.

are all so improbable.

When you are alone you are not alone,
you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.
When you are lonely you are thinking of the other,
you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state.
You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.
It would have been good if the other
were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive.
It is a presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence
that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
- Osho
I am a unique expression

and I am so honored that the Power of the Universe
has chosen for me to be ME.

Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
- the movie Men in Black
The effort to understand the universe is one
