Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Yeah, tree, it is apparent you like looking at others (esp women) much more than at yourself. It's one of the things that's so amusing...

(The universe loves you too.)

Of course, there is a long (maybe without beginning and end) story behind it.
Everything is made for you, just listen.

? "Everything is made for you" sounds like a common belief of the most selfish - not characteristic of something natura would say.

To make it shorter let’s start from my appearance in this world and acquiring skilling for photography. To make it even shorter, let’s skip to the moment, the Fate dragged me to the Tribulation Cape, (see in Google), the area of most lush rainforest in Australia; specifically, to a creek of crystal clarity water and without those bloody crocodiles in there.   
When I’d put off my clothes for swimming I saw those things lying on the ground. They were so amazingly big and beautiful that I remembered you and thought you must have seen them, at least on picture.
So I picked them, set them up and made some pictures.
Now you say they are nice – good reword for my efforts.
btw, the bloody midgets attacked me meanwhile from the air and inflicted so heavy losses to my body that it was badly swollen in many places and I couldn’t really sleep several next nights.

Tribulation Cape looks like a beautiful place - and fortunately too humid and unpredictable for many people to live in and trash. To say Fate dragged you there is hilarious - it's just natura doing what he does - nothing mystical, right ;-)

Well, young natura, love is the flow of life when ego is not in the way. Love is not sentimental sayings, though some seem to have an image of others reacting to these sayings, especially those of the opposite gender. In fact, they can be seen for what they are. And sometimes we find two humans trading sentimental sayings and thus generating a feeling of comfort and security, as with a mantra.

I thought it was not so necessary natura would say only characteristic things, sorry.
…but the story was for you, anyhow.

Indeed, it’s beautiful. Too humid? I was there in winter, intentionally of course; nothing of humidity – pleasurable warmth, day and night. People living there are doing well. Plenty of tourists, including from the US of course, makes business as lush as the nature itself.

“The stupid is as stupid does”…something like that?

Thanks for that, granny. But yet, who is that loves me?

natura quipped: “The stupid is as stupid does”…something like that?

beans: Nah, but "mystical" is just an idea, right?

natura: Thanks for that, granny. But yet, who is that loves me?

granny-bean: Well, young'un, I reckon it's intelligence/awareness that loves ya. A person can act with this intelligence/awareness/love, but it has nothing to do with a sentimental reaction to a particular person by another particular person.

I think it is right.
An event is mystical only if there is no understanding of its origin. Then mind speculations get unleashed.
The written language was considered in old times as mystic. Today, you would be probably one of the greatest magicians.
