I, uh, don't. Sometimes I 'look at' literature, and then it's all like 'nom nom nom', but then I get sad because I will never be able to read all that I want to. But that's still about me.

I look outside of myself and see that I am not. I see humility and grace. I see stillness in motion, motion in stillness, peace and chaos in the neverending quest for balance. I see the big pictues within every microcosmic little pictures that churn out throughtout the day. I see peace.

The complexities and the tidiness of nature.
The vastness of the universe.

The beauty of nature, the birds, the flowers...God's beautiful work. The joy of people, and harmony.

Happiness is thinking of my children, grandchildren, family, friends.

I love to see the beauty in life. I love to see happily married people, starting families. I love to see enduring couples. I love to see an older couple holding hands, and their dedication. I love to see the innocence of the very young. I love to hear the first cry and breath, of the newborn, one of God's little people coming into this world.

The world is beautiful, it's just some people who want to destroy, enslave the people within it.

Dude, it's just a mixture of all of that. I mean, I think about God all of the time. But I think about my family constantly too. I think about humanity as much as any other human, and individuals I run across through the day (especially as a Dollar General employee) make me wonder about them long after they've left the store. I love TV and little kids.

I must be terribly confusing in contemplation ..

I look at my reflection and we laugh and talk and have a grand time. Everyone else sucks. :>

In the comos of the cosmos, there is but another cosmos within a cosmos. and we all need to learn to get along. Let there be Dalai Lama as it's own cosmos within the cosmos and not let it explode when we all cosmos together. F-ing A!!

None of the above... since when I look outside myself I see poverty, a bunch of a**holes walking around, and the world full of crap....
