Enreal’s Tale

Posted by enreal on

Enreal’s Ever changing tale… 

We watch the sky from our Cafe Philos. Then our gaze travels to Aeode, she’s musing. What a Candleday indeed to think free on Earth’s pages, on our esoteric journey, with a gypsy heart… i wish i could tell you… These indeed are idea’s worth spreading. They are a journey to the minds eye, hardly a just ordinary karma web…

In the labyrinth of life, live love whatever… just look in the mirror… the reading of love letters… then mirror cracked… with demure restraint I catch these moments in time… as a muse catcher… musings of the night… then turns the smokey mirror… almost perfect, spasmically perfect… on the Surface Earth, we meet the corner, the corner where the heart may speak… speak to the necromancer by the pear tree…or was it the wild pomegranate…

To be me… to be or not to be is the real question… for truth is volatile… 

 

Thank you all for sharing my tale… it paints a pretty picture… it fits as perfectly as a puzzle… A thank you to all which make me whole… Enreal

Energies and your chaos theory

Posted by enreal on

Quite interesting discussion I had, partly with Grace, then on my own rant… individual energies and collective energies. Each ruled over by some force other than our own… I began thinking of purpose and destiny, as I do so often, and dived into my Life, the random acts that followed a flap of a butterflies wings…

Grace:”I have to pose the question to ‘all of us’. And that is this: Isn’t ALL of life a series of energy exchanges?… Each and everyone of our actions is some sort of energy exchange. INTENTION behind the exchange is really at the heart of the matter, isn’t it? Enreal: “…it is all about energy exchanges… not just individual exchanges, but as a collective whole as well… that seems to be where people mostly lose their energies, as if it is too big a challenge… that is where they are wrong, it only takes a butterflies wings to cause a devastating storm…“

How are these two related? Everything is related… an endless cycle… energy behind chaos behind purpose behind life…

What was your catalyst, the energy behind your life, where you are right now… so then is chaos your destiny?

My chaos theory in brief:

Father and Mother meet under difficult circumstances
I was born and 6 months later was hospitalized for 12 months for tuberculosis. I almost died( no enreal ) =( My father always used to say, “there is a reason you lived, there is a purpose, it was a miracle”

4 years later and 2 countries later we immigrated to the US as political refugees from Romania.

Parents divorced and the rest is simply growing up and discovering myself…

Driving one day enreal came to me…

My father passed away and enreal supported me…

My chaos theory and Enreal

the butterfly flapped its wings in the form of a breath a decision a time a place… and that is as far back as I can tell… but I guess it goes back to before all time… the first spark the first light… who can truly ever understand chaos? I just got a bit confused myself… what is your chaos theory? I believe it began at the same moment as mine…

Inspiration and Acknowledgment

Posted by enreal on

I was driving home from work this evening I suddenly became a bit happier. I began thinking of all the wonderful people I have been in contact with through this wonderful platform… Blogging has become an outlet for most... I believe there are many needs that are being fulfilled through this alternate plane. Some emotional, metaphysical, cultural uprising… A way to connect with the mind and spirit, through words and imagery rather than a societal facade…

People need a way to connect with others, wether through photography or philosophy… People need a way to express themselves with lack of judgement… They need a way to break barriers and challenge their boundaries of logic.

So as I am inspired by so many I thought they should know how honored I am. We all need a little inspiration in our daily lives and I wanted to recognize those whom inspire me…

Baekho… Shares a point of view that is clever and thought provoking. His style is meaningful…

Paul from Cafe Philos… brings interesting discussions with a sort of empathy that is repressed by most… his wit is evident in his style of writing

Aeode… what a profound pain written in her poetry… there is a light that is embedded in her words… they are intertwined… beautiful voice…

Grace… what can I say? An amazing and beautiful soul… ever changing as a Phoenix

Rob at I wish I could tell you… Always the teacher… Always willing to challenge himself for himself and others… a deep knowledge is present here, one that he is trying to share

J Alan… Brilliant artist, through photographs and words. The images he captures are breathtaking and surreal… I only wish to see half of the wonder he has shown though himself…

Zenuria… Zen a beautiful and kindred spirit… deep knowledge speaks to her soul and she expresses it eloquently in her words and photographs…

Sorrow… Indeed felt through her empathy… Complete and altruistic… forever enlightening others to the possibilities of life…

Lady by the water… A beautiful soul… forever. Her words speak to those who wish to understand love… on many planes

Miss Demure… Deep understanding of life flow through her words, at times I wonder if she realizes the impact of her words on others…wether through witty humor or powerful poetry… she stirs something within

Sea of memories… her unique and moving works… her music, her words, her soul… words can not express some of the emotions evoked from her mind to my soul

Kalliope Amorphous… She calls herself the muse catcher… I believe she has… Her art is something that can not be described… She captures something in her art that is boundless and infinite…

Goldenferi… A light of hope is shining for us to see. To learn from… She shines that light. A great insight she has, one that she shares with us… a beautiful soul

Raymond… A soul needing to be heard, a tale needing to be told… Give him the strength and desire to be heard…

Mother Winter Moon… Such a beautiful soul… She blesses us with her knowledge and instills in us a sense of peace and tranquility… Bless her

Spaz… This is one woman who transcends herself… whenever she writes I find myself in a new mind-frame… She has a way of sharing her soul through her words. Insightful and knowledgeable

Surface Earth… An all encompassing force… A voice all her own, reaching so many with a profound sense… Another wise and empathetic Soul…

Abdur Rahman... he has a corner where he shares his soul. Peace and love flow through his words as well as knowledge and depth

Mossy… his heart does speak, and his voice echos with a reminder of the perfection behind knowledge and love

Necromancer… indeed a diviner of sorts… intellect and wit behind his words I find…a profound message are hidden within each phrase…

I only know him as 99ppp… his words are poignant and meaningful…a truly gifted soul who shares a light and love through an honest and pure light… a force of good in this crazed sometimes confused world

Mark… indeed what is would be like to be him… probably one of the most aware and beautiful souls I know… He has a way of unveiling certain mysteries while recognizing the complexities of Life… He makes you wonder and analyze yourself…I sometimes simply read the comments left behind by those he has touched… beautiful soul…

Akash… You visit and leave beautiful words, yet I know not where you dwell… if your words are shared through another place… blessed be

The list of links above are a sort of tribute… All have led me to wonderful places in my heart, my soul, my mind… all have bared and shared a part of their being…I always believed in a underlying purpose a universal longing to connect… this is an affirmation of sorts… a beautiful affirmation…

Continue to live and learn… Life will always be by our side

Six Defining Words

Posted by enreal on

incapable_of_regret_by_disassembly_.jpg

Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).

I was tagged by ZEN for this “meme” (I don’t really think I know the proper definition of a “meme”). It’s a six word memoir, inspired by Hemingway… I know I took this more seriously than I should have…lets really look closely at ourselves

Here are the rules:

1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the web.
4. Tag five more blogs with links.
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!

My six word memoir:

Always searching, forever questioning. Still waiting…

For now that is my memoir…Enreal…
It will probably change before the next time you read this page…or not.

Here are where my curiosities lie…

1. Necromancer

2. Mark…when he gets back from vacation

3. Spaz

5. Sea of memories

God’s Boxes

Posted by enreal on

I would like to thank Bill for this…a very simple reminder for us all

God’s Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold .”

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
“I wonder where my sorrows could be!”
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
“My child, they’re all here with me..”

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
“My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go.”

We should consider all of our friends a blessing
Send this to a friend today just to let them know you
are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life.

A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.
But the treasure inside for you to see,
Is the treasure of friendship you’ve granted to me.

Today I pass the friendship ball to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you…

This seems fun…

Alright I have been tagged by Surface Earth…under normal circumstances I might have passed…however this pertains to books…I am surrounded by books in my apartment. I feel a great joy and security in the wonders held behind any bound pages of knowledge…

Here are the Rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Simple enough…


Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche

“Has it unlearned the spirit of revenge and all teeth-gnashing?
And who has taught it reconciliation with time, and something higher than all reconciliation?
The will that is the will to power must will something higher than all reconciliation-but how does that happen?”

This book was written by a prolific philosopher…I could go on and on…but I shall pass the torch…what are you reading??

1. Zenuria

2. Spaz

3. Paul

4. Rob

5. Sea of Memories

I’m done…you’re next!!! Have a great weekend!

Start Quoting Yourself

Posted by enreal on

We need to share each other…we look for words of wisdom from the past…we look for words from the wise…look into yourself, start quoting yourself! Share them with me…

“Life and the power it holds for each and everyone of us. We as individuals are all apart of the same world. We as individuals are not as individual as we may seem. Asking questions that need to be asked but are far from being answered” -Enreal

“Know yourself and you will know that there are times that moving forward may not feel the way that you perceive that it should. The more aware you are, the more tuned in you are you will recognize what is normal discomfort and what are intuitive red flags that are there to warn you of a mis-step”- Mark Brown

“What matters is rarely matter.”-Rob Gruber

“Should you be brave enough, strong enough, wise enough to perceive it, there is a beauty and wonder in life beyond the barrier fashioned by the illusion. Embrace it. Revel in it. Liberate yourself though it. Become one with it. Stop judging me . . . stop judging them . . . stop judging you. Forgive everyone and everything. Then, give yourself permission to take my hand and make this passage with me.”- Miss Demure Restraint

A thought is a creation, a manifestation of emotions strong enough to surface, yet subtle enough to remain in thought…Long forgotten or briefly remembered…always there, for eternity” -Enreal

“The depth of steps we leave in life is defined by our love one to other” –Tomas
