Inquisitive... Curious... Annoying?

I ask too many questions.

Never mind. Often questions are the answers.

Looking for distractions,
I went to a local store.
and found a reproduction
of Vermeer's the Milkmaid.
It looks like the real thing,
colors, textures and all.
I am calling her Brunhilde.
She's a bit on the heavy side
but she's pretty enough for me.
I took her with me and hanged her
next to my massive dining table
just above my Compaq computer
with the 1782 controller fault.
I also found a tape streamer
But it had a SCSI connection.
So I will have to find a way
To connect it sooner or later.
Maybe I will find some secrets
hidden inside the 30Gb tape.
I also tend to procrastinate,
doing things at the last minute;
I must have a good sense of timing.
I saw this young woman again;
we kept looking at each other
and looking away; I think
we like each other unconsciously.
I'm afraid I'm in love again;
she reminds me of my first love.
At the other supermarket
A pretty blond store girl
was minding her business.
I felt her eyes glancing at me
Almost staring or maybe
I was just imagining it.
I pretended not to notice her
but my old eyes became sad
and I thought she noticed it.
Well, I'm not desperate;
I'm just a disgusting DOM;)
Yes, my computer is full of garbage!

From your posts I have to ask if YOU are annoyed by people asking YOU questions.

Good American training...always do for others but never do for yourself. Helps make the rich people richer.

I read these latest Posts Sophia,
In the early morning hours,
I really enjoyed your investigations and discoveries, I learned and remember a lot thru you Sophia.

I also enjoy the comments and questions and answers that you have and attract, very interesting, very enlightening, very entertaining, very fine indeed Sophia.

Thanks for the visit and Peace and Love to you and yours always.

What if the student is ready but the master never appears ?

The real Master resides deep inside your innermost being.

STOP Looking and Discover Right NOW, HERE, THIS MOMENT!

Vermeer... the painter of The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Have you ever seen the movie?

You seem to fall in love often, always with strangers, but you never confront them. The moment of exchanged glances must be all you need, like two souls acknowledging the other.

Is DOM what I think it is? Either my head is in the gutter or you're naughty. LOL If it makes you feel better, I don't think you're disgusting. Maybe frustrated, but not disgusting. I think you are shy and too hard on yourself. Your shyness makes you feel alone.

You're not alone.

Sophia said...

Joe,

No, I love questions! :)

To be honest, I think people do more for me than I do for them. Sometimes I wish I had a skill or talent, so that I could return back into the universe what has been given to me.

Sophia said...

Jim,

Do not forget that I learned a lot from you, too!

I was a bit saddened when I visited your blog Restoration/Restoration and saw that you had deleted all those beautiful posts you had made. You must have felt like it was time to clean out the attic. Or perhaps you wanted to be like the Buddhists that blow away their mandalas, which they worked very hard on. I had hoped you'd save them somewhere on a disk, or printed them out, because they are pieces of you. But unlike me, you do not form attachments to things, and I envy your ability to let go.

Anonymous #4,

Interesting you should quote this. The heading of my old blog said, "When the student is ready, the Master appears." I created that header back in 2005 when I was looking for a spiritual teacher. Not having found one I could call my own, I gave up the search and learned to appreciate many sources of knowledge. I've learned to see the Master in everything.

A question - answer session is one step closer to finding your truth.....

No, not all anonymouses are the same, I am WOW... but I am not the others, tho I do admire the poem.

Love to all.

Sophia,
Sorry about that. I guess that needed some explanation. Well it was not a very nice way to end a nice verse. I think I was just trying to be funny. And I can go too far. And it's not funny anymore.
Well, I really don't want you take what I'm saying seriously. Both sides could be correct. So you should try to find out for yourself.
About names and labels. I'm afraid many or most people are very sensitive to nasty words. Unless it is self-inflicted and half-funny. And often I don't know what I am talking about.
I'm sorry but right now I don't seem to have much time. So I will try to explain further as soon as I have more time.
To avoid confusion, I will be using a pseudonym again. Altho I would like to keep using anonymous (the author being a very famous and often wise one).
I'm just like everybody else. I'm naughty. And disgusting. My opinion. ;>)

Frustrated? Right. I guess that's a good word to describe it. Anyway I'm not chasing women or girls, yet. I'm too busy and too frustrated. I just ended a long, intense and disastrous relationship. I'm still recovering and trying to find out what went wrong. I guess it's not all my fault. And I don't really feel lonely because of it. In fact I feel very much liberated. I think my ex had completely dominated me and there was no way out except to get out. After going thru it for quite a long time.
Back to teaching mode;>)
I think it is posible to admire beauty from a distance without wanting to possess it. Except for the Milkmaid, of course. Anyway, she's unattainable.
Vermeer. Yes think you are right but I haven't seen the movie. I just found out thru wikipedia that he was born in Delft and lived there for some time. I've been there too, worked and stayed there for a while. That was several years ago. I slept in a hotel that was run by an Italian who painted Delftblueware; in fact he gave me a souvenir when I left. Now I'm living in Delfzijl, which is in the north of the Netherlands. The Journey from Delft and Delfzijl was quite a long one: I will spare you the details.
Well, I guess that explains the few tantric books.

Sophia said...

Lucid,

I'll have to agree with you on that one! Really, if it wasn't for some of the answers I've received on some of my questions, I'd still be at the entrance gate.

Sophia said...

Anonymous #5 (or WOW),

I've had so many anonymous visitors lately that I'm thinking about calling them anony-mice. :)

Sophia said...

Sigurd,

Nothing to be sorry about. You were just being yourself. I'd hope that everyone can feel like being open here. After all, I'm fairly open myself if you haven't noticed. :)

Oh, and I'm not sensitive to any words that I can think of. Trust me, I've said a few of them in my life.

Sophia said...

Anonymous #6 (or Sigurd),

I am sorry that your relationship ended, but if it was disastrous and someone else had control over you, letting it end was probably a healthy and wise decision. Instead of feeling down about it, rejoice in your freedom. And may the next one be a loving, kind, caring, sweet woman. That's the kind of woman you deserve. Nothing less. Got it?

I would like to go to the Netherlands sometime, especially Amsterdam (hehe).

Do you have an apartment in Delfijl? A roommate?

Anonymous said...

Yes, I have an appartment all to myself. My ex didn't want to buy a house, so we're both left without a house of our own.
Soon Sonnumberone would like to spend some weeks with me with two of his friends.
I live very close to a medieval town.
You're welcome to

Sophia said...

How many children do you have?

This medieval town you've showed me reminds me of something we have here in the states called Williamsburg. I've been there twice. There are historic buildings there, and it is full of reenactors.

http://www.history.org/

Would like to go, but alas, I don't have much vacation time saved up at work. :( Thanks for asking, though!

Anonymous said...

I have two teenage boys.
I tried to find out where Williamsburg is. It seems to be in Virginia. Just north of North Carolina, where my sister lives. She has two children, a 6 foot 4 boy of 19 and an almost 6 foot girl. Maybe I will pay them a visit one day. Perhaps next year, when I have time. In fact, I just spoke with her today.

I also have a rich aunt somewhere in Indiana. Her husband and children owns a medical clinic. I have to see them too.
My aunt used to be a very beautiful women. Well, she's much older now and overweight. Actually she used to look like you in one of your pictures, when she was much younger. I thought you reminded me of someone but I couldn't figure it out for a while.

Anonymous said...

Well, I mean you looked familiar.
I guess the world is getting smaller everyday.
Im not feeling very well today; it could be the weather. It's getting colder.
Inspite of the Dixie Chicks. I listen to them all the time. I let the feeling of sadness overtake me. It's just like I'm grieving. But at the same the music caresses.
But I'm fine. I often could die from laughing.

Anonymous said...

Right now I'm listening to "Are you strong enough to be my man?" And I am crying inside. I guess it's just the music.

Sophia said...

When is the last time you got to visit your sister?

Indiana... that's where I live.

I've been told several times in my life that I reminded someone of somebody. I guess I have a universal face!

Well, if you ever get to Indiana, we'll have to have dinner sometime.

Sophia said...

Isn't that a Sheryl Crow song?

If you're feeling down, perhaps you should listen to some music that will lift you up. Listen to something positive or something without words, like some classical music, or some relaxing new age music.

Sophia said...

Hey, do you have a high speed internet connection?

Anonymous said...

I think we both need "wide open spaces". Some synchronicity, I suppose.

Anonymous said...

Yes, In fact she's singing together with the Chicks.
It's probably not a bad idea. We'll both have the surprise of our life. ;>)
Not quite. I have cable internet.
Sometimes it just takes me a while to write. I'm quite erratic. Like I can speak from my neck at one time. And then become shy or almost mute the next.

Sophia said...

Try this. If you have a high speed internet connection, go to the link below and watch/listen to the videos. I have a strange feeling that you will fall in love with this woman:

Maybe, that's how men cry. Crying without crying.
It's great!!! No problem.

Sophia said...

Men don't cry because messages from society seem to tell them not to. But who cares what society thinks?

Women know this: Crying can be a good release for pent-up emotions.

Don't be afraid to cry. Let it out. Afterwards, have a good laugh just to cheer yourself up.

Anonymous said...

I'm listening right now to "Dicovering yourself". I like it. I will have to listen to it a few more times to start liking it very much.
Reminds me of Kate Bush. My ex's favorite. And she's more into classical than I am.
Anyway, I love women's voices.

Anonymous said...

Thanks!!! I've been looking for a new artist to listen too. She's the one.

Sophia said...

Glad you like it. :)

I also like women's singing voices. I tend to prefer them over men's.

I am also a fan of Kate Bush. Her latest album "Aerial" has a song on it that I really like. It's called, "The Architect's Dream".

Don't mean to remind you of your ex, though.

SIG,

Who are you? And where do you live. I'm getting hooked on reading your comments. I like reading them. I just found myself searching Sophies site just for your comments!

Sophia, can you forward these q's to her or something? I'm not hitting on her, I am married and mostly happy....but...I...

...I just like people.....and believe very much in the power within us all to change, to make things better in our world. To enjoy life to the max. Sig sounds very sad and I don't like that...for anyone...anyone who has a heart and cares.....and Sig sounds like a nice person.

Oh there I go again, babbling on your site. Sophia's site just brings out the best in me, i guess! :)

Anonymous said...

Jon be me,
I guess anybody can give the wrong impression. If you want to find out who I am. Please go to http://www.zenblog.nl/
It's in Dutch, quite similar to German.
I'm the one who makes the most comments. Also in Dutch.
Thanks for your concern.
By the way, I'm also the one who makes the anonymous comments most of the time.
The site is a very good one. The teacher seems to know what he is talking about. He is not my teacher, tho.

Anonymous said...

Well, actually I'm having a good time.
I don't have to leave my job. I just let them pay my vacation and expenses. Three weeks is long enough. But I can wait.
And I won't let any Pilate or Jesus judge or condemn me. ;>)

jon be me said...

Sig,
checked out that site. Didn't help me!

So you live in the Netherlands? Nice country and very friendly people. We would have moved there except it's too cold. I'm originaly from Florida.

Take care see ya around
