Even from the humble faux pas I make on a continual basis when meeting someone with body art, yep I always ask those annoying questions.<br /><br />I wonder if expressing your individualism isn't still apart of being in that collective consciousness anyway. After all we were all designed differently,with a different purpose but for the collective good of the whole. Does it really matter what vehicle we've been given to fulfill that purpose and how we choose to decorate it? Maybe,maybe not. Isn't each journey unique, different and our perception of that experience depending on our individualism anyway? Ultimately we always find our way back to the true meaning of it all. Each one of us has our own egoic actions and minds to overcome it and that is the essence of it. Some people deal with an aging body fading beauty, others with an aging mind and depleted intelligence. Each person has their own journey and mountain to climb. <br /><br />I like the idea that your spiritual journey can be seen through a visual story on your body, and that perhaps overtime this story will change, if not visually at least spiritually. That is a wonderful way to appreciate your life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21001963.post-55239497514204283292011-09-13T06:01:53.093+07:002011-09-13T06:01:53.093+07:00You 'refuse to be a sheep'?!
