    In The Wild World

    In the wild world
    I would love you
    without guilt
    I would call you
    trembling,
    I would seduce you
    with words,
    eyes, hands, lips
    careless as wind,
    I would speak
    all the names
    of your hidden desires
    and give them to you,
    day after day
    until you are breathless,
    aching
    and burning for my touch.

    6 days and counting




    Ocean
    by }X{Angel}X{


    the total selflessness of your love
    washes over me in an aqua blue tropical ocean
    wrapping around me with warm and restive arms
    gently smoothing the rough edges
    with soothing fingers that caress my body into quiet repose

    the sun of your smile kisses my skin
    as it melts the icy depths of my heart
    glistening and shimmering a diamond dance
    upon your waters
    lulling my soul into a deep peace

    your voice, the gentle whispers of the wind
    so velvety soft as it rustles my hair
    gliding across my face, to come to rest in my ear

    Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know 
what to do and what not to do to help.

    --Thich Nhat Hahn (Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, 1926-)

    The underlying anatomical correlates of long-term meditation: larger hippocampal and frontal volumes of gray matter.


    Luders E, Toga AW, Lepore N, Gaser C.

    Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, Department of Neurology, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA 90095-7334, USA.

    Although the systematic study of meditation is still in its infancy, research has provided evidence for meditation-induced improvements in psychological and physiological well-being. Moreover, meditation practice has been shown not only to benefit higher-order cognitive functions but also to alter brain activity. Nevertheless, little is known about possible links to brain structure.

    Using high-resolution MRI data of 44 subjects, we set out to examine the underlying anatomical correlates of long-term meditation with different regional specificity (i.e., global, regional, and local). For this purpose, we applied voxel-based morphometry in association with a recently validated automated parcellation approach.

    We detected significantly larger gray matter volumes in meditators in the right orbito-frontal cortex (as well as in the right thalamus and left inferior temporal gyrus when co-varying for age and/or lowering applied statistical thresholds).

    In addition, meditators showed significantly larger volumes of the right hippocampus. Both orbito-frontal and hippocampal regions have been implicated in emotional regulation and response control. Thus, larger volumes in these regions might account for meditators' singular abilities and habits to cultivate positive emotions, retain emotional stability, and engage in mindful behavior.

    We further suggest that these regional alterations in brain structures constitute part of the underlying neurological correlate of long-term meditation independent of a specific style and practice. Future longitudinal analyses are necessary to establish the presence and direction of a causal link between meditation practice and brain anatomy.

    Simply beautiful pages full or poetry and love




    you are always here inside me
    a little part of you
    i take you with me wherever i go
    and though we may not speak
    i read the words on your lips
    i feel your hands upon my body
    i know the things you want to say
    nothing has changed
    but nothing began
    let me love you
    here
    surround me
    take me like ive been waiting for
    since the day we met
    make me
    make me yours
    carve your name inside my heart
    and show me how we begin

    Driving along as free as a bird
    watching the black lace of fall
    flow formlessly
    as the colors fade to night
