Being Here

"Remember, to be in direct, immediate relationship with existence is spirituality. To be in tune with the whole, to feel the harmony and the joy and the sheer celebration of being here -- that is spirituality. It has nothing to do with going to the church or the temple, it has nothing to do with reciting the Koran or The Bible or the Gita. It has nothing to do with any kind of ritual, it has something to do with communion -- communion with the trees, communion with the stars, communion with the rivers, communion with all that is."

I.M. Marilyn Monroe 1926 - 1962

Found this beautiful black and white picture of Marilyn on www.lucidcafe.com without any mentioning of the photographer's name.

Hollywood is a place where they'll
pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss
and fifty cents for your soul.
—Marilyn Monroe

Today, the first of june, was Marilyn Monroe's birthday and she would have turned 80 if she had been alive.

Vandaag, de eerste juni, was de geboortedag van Marilyn Monroe en ze zou 80 zijn geworden als ze nog had geleefd.

I Wanna be Loved by You
