Molly Brogan: The Torch of Our Passion




Much has been said about passion by many of the worlds
finest thinkers, such as:

Friedrich Nietzsche: The will to overcome a passion is in the end merely the will of another or several other passions.

Goethe: Our passions are the true phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from its ashes.

Kahlil Gibran: Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafairing soul, if either your sails or your redder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in the mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.



Dialogue raises Consciousness!
Passion is the fire that burns inside you. It is the driving force that keeps you going. It is a high! It is contagious! We are multi-faceted beings. Most people have many passions.

What are YOU passionate about?

Take a moment, daydream, tell us what sparks your passion.

Look in the Mirror


The zebra doesn't care for spots....

We humans are supposed to be at the top of the food chain. Yet, there is much research that indicates that all people are in some way unhappy with their self-image - some to the extent that they leap of buildings.

Others to a lesser degree: "Wait!" they shout. "Take my photo from the other side - my left profile is so much better!"





The Zebra doesn´t care for Spots...
This is what he whispered as we witnessed the birth of a baby zebra. Within minutes, it managed to stagger onto its feet, nudging its nose at its mother's underside. They say that no two zebras have the identical striped pattern - it's like our fingerprints. And they believe that the zebra foal knows its mother by memorising her pattern.

"The Zebra doesn't care for spots", said Masiwa.
"Now what do you mean?" I asked.
"Look," he said, "they seem to be happy with who they are. They do not look at their stripes and say: 'Wish I rather had spots.' They just are what they are."


When will we understand that our self-image is our most powerful tool - or our worst enemy? It can set you free - or keep you hostage. What you see when you look in the mirror will determine the outcome of your life. While we may think that our self-image is a picture that we form of our 'self', it really is almost the opposite. It's a mirror reflection of what other people tell us of who they think that we are. All the while, they don't even have a clue of who we are inside - yet, they get to mould our self-image, based only on their perceptions.

Break free! Stop believing them. Undo the programming.
Introspect. Look at your past, so that you may learn who you were. Then you may be able to understand who you really are so that you can become who you were meant to be.

Now,
ask yourself two questions for the last time. Write the answers down, tell it to the world.
Nobody knows you better than YOU yourself.

1) Do you really need to invest another hour, energy and effort into trying to improve on who you already are!

2) What would happen if you were to just let go. Just be?

Crowned with Love

Temptations & Trials

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.

AMORPHOBIE


schreit die angst [die wut, die verzweiflung, der groll, der chauvinist,...] aus der tiefe seines wesens in die welt der liebe, so sucht er oder sie nicht vergebens, denn was sie findet, alle gedanken und gefühle angstbefleckt (ver) bindet,

ein ganzes netz nun knüpft und als muster sich durchs seelen labyrinth windet, herz und seel seiner liebsten schindet, allmählich kollabiert in ihr die hoffnung, fantasie und liebeslust entschwindet. im hades weint persephone, venus schreit "frieden" in ares ohr, der taumelnd den schirlingbecher reicht empor an sokrates (!) und der ihn weiter an amor, morpheus steht mit c.g. jung auf dem gipfel des olymps, dem sonnenwagen hinterher sinnierend, während hermes dem guten alfred auf die adler-schwingen hilft den berg zu stürmen und zu picken die leber der aphrodesia aus dem leib, flatternd sich verdingend an der felsgeketteten, vom divan verstoßenen schönen, unschuldig, parvane-man, almaze-man, esghe-man, galbe-to, atashe-hamishe ba to, lichterloh sie brennt...

atemlos.....

athene
und die schwestern noch versuchen, das wüten des wesens in circes garten zu verhindern, apollon oden ans flatternde herz entsendet,
dionysius aspasiatrauben gegen
den schmerz, sein echo mit
überschallgeschwindigkeit wirre lachte, und die liebe viele viele tage und nächte in liebe nicht, oh nein, in geprellter einsamkeit verbrachte.

Marguerite Duras - Zitat

Ich empfand plötzlich das Bedürfnis, ein neues Buch
von mir zu lesen. Also habe ich eines geschrieben.
Marguerite Duras (1914-1996) frz. Schriftstellerin
Meine ersten beiden Bücher entstehen gerade.
Welch helle Freude in mir sich regt. So veryheaven.

Dit bonjour!



I don´t have a wolf inside of me.

In Case of Emergency

Last year, one of my friend suddenly felt dizziness. The condition got worse that we all prepared to get him into emergency. While we were doing so, I wanted to call his wife. I looked by her name into his cell, I could not get her number. He must have put under some kinda nick name.

I could not find it. Imagine a situation when you needed help from stranger in such condition, s/he had to dial your relative or contact person. Surely, they do not have idea on what to do with your cell contacts. You can have hundreds of 'em.

The solution is to have 2 contact numbers added as ICE (in case of emergency). Nobody knows when you may need help! I think the cell software should be designed in such a way that user has to (optional) enter the ICE number when used for the first time. Having ICE on mobile can be helpful. Helpful, especially when someone wants to get help for you.

Is He your true Prince?


[First seen on: a good husband]

10 Tips from a mature, therefore sexy man
for those men still wondering: why did she leave?


1. Respect the Sanctity of Friendship / Marriage

Put your lady / girlfriend / marriage first. Whether you are religious or not, some things are just sacred. Marriage is very near the top of the list of sacred things. Society is built on successful families and successful families are built on a bedrock foundation of trust, love and fidelity. If every man in the world would treat his marriage like it was the most important thing in the world, above his career, friends, and hobbies, then so much of society's problems would be solved.



2. Be Her Sounding Board
Listen to what your wife has to say. Sometimes she needs to talk to someone and that doesn't necessarily mean she needs you to fix it. This has always been a difficult thing for me to do. Sometimes instead of having a problem fixed, women just want someone to listen to them so they can talk it out and work it out in their own minds and hearts. She might ask for suggestions or thoughts, but sometimes what she really wants is just a sounding board.


3. Show Respect and Withhold Judgement

Most likely (HOPEFULLY!) you respected your wife's intelligence and capabilities when you married her. You should continue to do that. Women want to feel respected and cherished. They want to feel safe. If your wife makes a suggestion that you disagree with or find unreasonable, try asking her what she means, and do it in as kind a tone as possible. You might find that behind her unreasonable suggestion is a little nugget of wisdom that you did not recognize.


4. Know When to Make it About You

Every marriage should be built on the premise of making it about your spouse first. There are times, however, when an individual's needs must be met before they can be capable of helping others. If you are really upset about something, don't just bury it under manly silence. Tell her about it and ask for her help. Most wives will be more than glad to listen and care about you. You are not less of a man if you need help with a problem every once in a while, or if you just need to blow off a little steam. Indeed, I would say that most wives appreciate it a great deal when their husbands really open up to them about what's troubling them.

5. Work Hard and Work Smart

Women are attracted to men who are able providers, protectors, and nurturers. They want a man who can and will be an able partner in life. It is fulfilling for a man to work hard and succeed at whatever he does. if the job requires more time than originally estimated, if it's more strenuous than originally thought, a Good Husband will gird up his loins and redouble his efforts. Of course, working long and difficult hours when you don't have to is less than effective. Think about what you're doing and whether it's actually worth it. Is there a better way to get it done? Can it be more efficient? Good Husbands use their intellect as well as their brawn.

6. Be A Leader

Do you have something you believe in? Do you hold to your convictions no matter what? If so, these are admirable traits in a man. I'm not talking about being obstinate or obtuse, I mean standing up for what's right and convincing others to do the same. There is a whole industry built around learning how to lead, but let me just say this: if more men would take the time to help those who need a little direction, the world would be a better place.


7. Be Affectionate

Admit it. You like cuddling just a little bit. No? Fake it. Women need to feel loved and cared about. Give her a little pat when you walk by, compliment her when she's doing some task, give her a kiss before you walk out the door. If you don't know what kind of affection makes your wife happy, then I suggest you read The Five Love Languages. That book will show you how to find out what each of you needs in a relationship to communicate love and affection.

8. Care About Her Well Being
Not all of you will have to live with having
a spouse who is chronically ill, but you will have to deal with illness, injury, and emotional distress. You should care about how your wife is feeling. She is delicate and sensitive. She needs to be cared for and it is your responsibility to do so. In addition to general health concerns, women feel better when they are allowed to be beautiful. Pamper her. I remember when I first got married and found out how much makeup and hair products cost. I almost went through the roof, but then I realized that it makes my wife happy, which in turn makes me happy.

9. Be Generous and Fair
I take care of the family finances in our household and I always make sure that my wife has some money. Whoever takes care of the money in your house, make sure that your wife is cared for and not deprived. Buy her treats and presents. Be liberal with your household budget and trust that she will be careful with the hard earned money. It's amazing what a woman can do with a home when she is allowed free reign with decorating and arranging.


10. Think Like a Team

However you have worked out your roles within the household, whether one works and one stays home with the kids, or both work, you are a team working towards a common goal. Do you have goals? My wife and I sit down each Sunday afternoon and have family counsel. We talk about our plans for the week, how we can help each other, any business that needs to be discussed, and then we share at least 3 three things we like about each other. It usually takes about 30 minutes but it's an integral part of our marriage.


Do you have any other suggestions, or even critics?

1.) Ja. Sein guter Geruch. Seine Begierde. Seine Leidenschaft. Seine Abenteuerlust. Seine Loyalität. Seine Hingabe. Sein Alpha-Status. Seine gepflegten Hände und Füße. Seine sexy Phantasie. Seine Sinnlichkeit. Seine Stimme. Melodisch, männlich. Seine Millionen :-) Ideen für ein tolles Leben. Stolz und wild und weich und wandelbar. Mehr geht gar nicht.

2.), 3.), 4.)....

Jetzt Sie / Ihr.
Na los...damit die Liste nicht rumgeht ohne Eure Zutaten .-)

Shop-Opening / Shop-Eröffnung


hello my dear veryheavens,

I fell deeply in love with lead singer Chris Norman from Smokie, at the age of 13. I really can´t believe it anymore that my room was decorated with many posters and signed postcards. Yep. Mom knows better. Soon Suzi Quatro became my first female Hero, followed by Helen Schneider, Madonna, Nina Hagen. Andy Gibb from Bee Gees, Foreigner and Kiss caught my juvenile heart in the summer of 1979. Well.

When not horse riding or rollerskates dancing - I´ve spend most of my freetime with taking and developing black and white pictures with my first boyfriend, hanging out at music stores, shaking hips, coffe to go at desk. Dj-ing at home.
I still do it. Can´t get enough. The first thing I did in the appt. of my love an me, last year, even before we had a bed, I ordered and pinned this on the glass door of the living-room. Since 2 years I regulary buy stuff at allposters.com, and I am happy to have my very first virtual poster store on veryheaven today. Check it out. Hope you find stuff you like.
