Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation … the other eight are unimportant.
I do not agree - chocolate is a good reason too..

Rammstein - Ohne Dich
It's so strange how sometimes a specific tune appeares in your mind, from nowhere, just like that....

John Steinbeck.
Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there's time, the Bastard Time.
John Stainbeck.
1950
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
Dragonfly.
The meaning of a dragonfly changes with each culture. The main symbolisms of the dragonfly are renewal, positive force and the power of life in general. Dragonflies can also be a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. Also, as a creature of the wind, the dragonfly frequently represents change. And as a dragonfly lives a short life, it knows it must live its life to the fullest with the short time it has - which is a lesson for all of us.
1.Maturity and a Depth of character
The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.
The traditional association of Dragonflies with water also gives rise to this meaning to this amazing insect. The Dragonfly’s scurrying flight across water represents an act of going beyond what’s on the surface and looking into the deeper implications and aspects of life.
2.Power and Poise
The dragonfly’s agile flight and its ability to move in all six directions exude a sense of power and poise - something that comes only with age and maturity.
The dragonfly can move at an amazing 45 miles an hour, hover like a helicopter fly backwards like a hummingbird, fly straight up, down and on either side. What is mind blowing is the fact that it can do this while flapping its wings a mere 30 times a minute while mosquitoes and houseflies need to flap their wings 600 and 1000 times a minute respectively.
The awe inspiring aspect is how the dragonfly accomplishes its objectives with utmost simplicity, effectiveness and well, if you look at proportions, with 20 times as much power in each of its wing strokes when compared to the other insects. The best part is that the dragonfly does it with elegance and grace that can be compared to a veteran ballet dancer. If this is not a brazen, lazy, overkill in terms of display of raw power, what is?
3.Defeat of Self Created Illusions
The dragonfly exhibits iridescence both on its wings as well as on its body. Iridescence is the property of an object to show itself in different colors depending on the angle and polarization of light falling on it.
This property is seen and believed as the end of one’s self created illusions and a clear vision into the realities of life. The magical property of iridescence is also associated with the discovery of one’s own abilities by unmasking the real self and removing the doubts one casts on his/her own sense of identity. This again indirectly means self discovery and removal of inhibitions.
4.Focus on living ‘IN’ the moment
The dragonfly normally lives most of its life as a nymph or an immature. It flies only for a fraction of its life and usually not more than a few months. This adult dragonfly does it all in these few months and leaves nothing to be desired. This style of life symbolizes and exemplifies the virtue of living IN the moment and living life to the fullest. By living in the moment you are aware of who you are, where you are, what you are doing, what you want, what you don’t and make informed choices on a moment-to-moment basis.
This ability lets you live your life without regrets like the great dragonfly.
The opening of one’s eyes
The eyes of the dragonfly are one of the most amazing and awe inspiring sights. Given almost 80% of the insect’s brain power is dedicated to its sight and the fact that it can see in all 360 degrees around it, it symbolizes the uninhibited vision of the mind and the ability to see beyond the limitations of the human self. It also in a manner of speaking symbolizes a man/woman’s rising from materialism to be able to see beyond the mundane into the vastness that is really our Universe, and our own minds.

Neil Gaiman's wish for 2012
Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Орелът на хан Аспарух
Сребърният орел е открит от археолога Грунченко през 1930г. на брега на река Днепър, край село Вознесенка, Украйна. Орелът е от сребро с дължина 21 см., височина 13.2 см., тегло - 1.035 кг. Орелът се бори със змия, която се гърчи в ноктите му. Върху гърдите на орела има монограм, който ако се чете от дясно на ляво - както са писани много от прабългарскитерунически надписи, името се разчита като ЕСПОР. Върху лявото крило има щемпел с трилистник. Някои историци смятат, че това е династичният знак на владетелския род Дуло, от който са първите ханове. Има го и върху накои предмети от съкровището на бащата на Аспарух- хан Кубрат. На опашкатата има силно повреден от огъня надпис, неразчетен досега. На гърба орелът има дванадесет пъпки, чиято символика все още не е ясна. Заедно с орела е намерен и друг ценен предмет - сребърен лъв, силно повреден, с тежина 0.954кг.
От надписите върху орела най-добре е запазен монограмът на който с гръцки букви се чете името ЕСПОР.
Ако това наистина е бил орелът на хан Аспарух, то това означава , че той ще е най - святата ни реликва от онова време заедно с Мадарския конник и златото на хан Кубрат.

Protobulgarians.
Прабългарската керамика от Крим - казва украинският архитект Вадим Майко - твърде много наподобява керамичните съдове от Първото Българско царство. Особено кухненските съдове. Същите гърнета ги има и в България. Там те се срещат и през IX век, и през първата половина на Х век. Това още веднъж доказва, че материалната култура на прабългарите, намиращи се на различни територии е била почти еднаква. Гърнетата, които сочеше , бяха от сиво-черна керамика и по форма , цвят и украса напълно съвпадаха с образци, които се пазят в музеите в България.
в амфорите се е съхранявало прабългарско вино. Производството и продажбата на прабългарско вино са били разгърнати на много по-обширни територии, отколкото винепроизводството в съвременен Крим. Освен керамиката тук са показани и най-разнообразни прабългарски украшения, гривни, обеци, съдове за парф'ми, козметични комплекти с пили за нокти и пинцети. Всичко това говори, че материалната култура на прабългарите е била на много високо ниво. /Музеят на Судак/

George Clooney,
“I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.”
