I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay
and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.

but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists
to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.

I'm embarrassed about it, I think its wrong.

to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people.

Trust in the Light.
Darkness is not a force -
it is merely the absence of light.

when joy is brought to suffering,
the sadness disappears.
Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

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
Security is not the absence of danger,

in the absence of good grounds for belief,
he will be satisfied with bad ones.

The child in me could not die as it should have died,
because according too legends it must find its father again.
The old legends knew, perhaps, that in absence
the father becomes glorified, deified, eroticized,
and this outrage against God the Father has to be atoned for.
The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human,
as man who created a child and then, by his absence,
left the child fatherless and then Godless.
- Anais Nin
Life is a reflection of intent.
Love reflects love.
