#Sans Eckhart

[flowerywhispers]

Hello snoopy-san can u req wmmap where claude has another child that is also reincarnated like that is like kim dokja from orv (if u dont know its one if the best manwha/novel there 10/10 recommend u to read it if u havent yet hehe) or someone like penelope eckart, how would they react.

| | Reacting to a child like Penelope Eckhart | |

Character(s): Claude de Alger Obelia, Athanasia de Alger Obelia and Anastacius de Alger Obelia

TW: Mentions of neglect, allusions of murder plots, Claude starts off as a terrible terrible father as usual

Notes: Gender neutral MC || Hiya! Oml I love ORV, I just haven't caught up yet so I decided to go for a child like Penelope Eckhart rather than Kim Dokja because I knew that if I started thinking about him then I wouldn't be able to write this until I'd finished reading all of the chapters I missed sbejsgr

[ Claude ]

He finds you interesting rather than amusing like he finds Athanasia

He has somewhat unrealistic standards for how children are supposed to act and, while you act in a way that's much more ideal for his preference of silence, your sister is the complete opposite

He finds himself wondering what was different in how the two of you grew up if you were both raised by Lilian but likes to test you in less than conventional ways

Your bluntness is almost unnerving to him at times, he doesn't know how to feel about someone who acts so similar to him, but, at least at the beginning, he does like to force you into uncomfortable situations, just to see how you'd fair not to mention using it as a way to try and force the bluntness out of you

He finds it amusing when your survival instincts kick into overdrive when you're already trapped in a survival mindset but perhaps that's only because of the lack of control he seems to be able to exert over you. You're so precise with what you say and yet it makes him feel less and less like he's the one in control of the situation

He can tell, even with how you act, that you're in a constant state of a survival mindset so he likes to put you into dangerous situations a tad bit more than Athy but comes to try and protect you more than Athy once he begins to care for the two of you because of it

Something about the way that you seem to act like a cornered animal yet keep so composed, makes you seem all the more fragile to him

[ Athanasia ]

She's honestly a tad bit scared of you

She doesn't realise that you too have been reincarnated until much later down the line, too caught up in what your presence might do to her future with her perceiving you to be much too similar to the man that she's trying to avoid meeting

You're highly intelligent and you're prefect at manipulating the situation which makes her feel somewhat scared that you might want her out of the equation until she realises that she could try and win you over in some way like she did with Claude

You're more than aware that she's taking advantage of the situation and you but you can't come to care when she's helping you stay in Claude's good graces, as much as you keep messing up with your bluntness

She feels a little guilty, before she knows that you've reincarnated as well - only seeing you as another obstacle that could bring her harm - that she's been using you the entire time but she doesn't realise that you're doing the same

She tries, as she continues along the story, to get close with you as her sibling but is met with a wall every time. She never does give up though, becoming something of an annoyance to you in a way that only Lucas can relate to

It's a give and take relationship, both of you never really admitting to caring about either one as you both just try and survive but she comes to sympathise really heavily once she realises that she's not the only ones who's been entirely aware the whole time

[ Anastacius ]

Anastacius honestly sees you as a thorn in his side. An interesting one but a thorn in his side nonetheless

When he plans, he doesn't take you into account, not expecting you to be intelligent enough to see through any of his plans and not having predicted your presence at all. He only knew you existed when you wanted him to and you would otherwise slip his mind

It was horribly frustrating that he could seem to figure you out and neither could Aternitas

He works around Athanasia because he's heard about how intelligent she supposedly is for a child but you're more toned down in that sense, detached even as a child and spoken much less about. How hard did he have to try to find out anything about you from only vague rumours?!

Even as you grew up, you stayed cold and short with people, too intelligent for a child and too competent even by an adult's standards

He finds it funny almost, so much so that it reminds him of himself and Claude. What else did he expect from his brother's child?

I think your Eckhart Tolle tattoo doesn't resonate anymore, Boston Dumb Fuck.

"When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world."

Well, you gave yourself that inner stillness with all that goddamn shushing and you still lost touch with yourself and the world- like a living ghost.

And talk about all that pain and suffering you thought you could avoid. It seems to have come at you with greater force than if you just dealt with it in increments.

I hope there is more laser tattoo removal sessions in your future (sans the Tesla and pap walk). Then you can work to rebuild everything you destroyed the last few years, as painful as it may be. It will feel better in the long run, I promise!

Or maybe you will do what you seem to always do- dig your heels in, go into complete denial and pretend life is great in your White Male Privileged world. You could even get more tats, like the clichéd Marijuana leaf, since you seem to be clinging to that like Linus's blanket. Better yet- why not ask the wifey for some suggestions, really remind yourself of what you have become "OK".

Da: SGUARDI SULL'ARTE LIBRO QUARTO - di Gianpiero Menniti

L'ESIGENZA DEL SACRO

"Beato Angelico", strana figura di artista, tra il rivoluzionario Masaccio e l'ineguagliabile Piero della Francesca. Nella scia del primo, precorre il secondo. Perde le tracce del tardo gotico nella rivelazione della forma plastica data dal chiaroscuro. Eppure, la luce che irradia sulle sue figure indica un'esigenza incombente. Vive anni di estremo conflitto religioso: la fine della "cattività avignonese" sfocia nel "Grande Scisma". Poi, gli estremismi conciliari che provocarono il "Piccolo Scisma" nel tempo dei tentativi di riunificazione delle Chiese d'Occidente e d'Oriente. Cambiamenti radicali che assegnano nuovi confini alla visione del mondo, infine sanciti nel 1453 con la caduta di Costantinopoli. Può udire le voci di Nicola Cusano e di Leon Battista Alberti. È uomo di fede. Appartiene all'ordine domenicano: sente la lezione di Tommaso d'Aquino e quella di Meister Eckhart. Questo il crogiolo rovente nel quale agisce. I suoi testi pittorici divengono espressione di un'esigenza mistica: l'ineffabilità di Dio è compensata dal sentimento del sacro. La matrice originaria della pittura occidentale, il fondo dorato dell'icona, lo induce a mantenere uno sguardo incantato su quell'alterità che non appartiene alla dimensione umana. Alterità che è distacco preminente dalla mondanità, caotica e conflittuale. Non vi può rinunciare: è una scelta. Schietta. La sua vena artistica appartiene a quella scelta. Nella quale, per coerente necessità, è escluso ogni dramma. Per queste ragioni, rimane confinato in un passato ideale. Ma l'esigenza del sacro, inteso come figura di pensiero, è rimasta desiderio irriducibile, capace ancora di percorrere, sotto altre forme o tentativi di forma, la pittura contemporanea.

- Beato Angelico, Fra' Giovanni da Fiesole, al secolo Guido di Pietro (1395 - 1455): "Pala di Fiesole", predella, particolare (Tutti i Santi), 1424 - 1425, Chiesa di San Domenico, Fiesole (Firenze) - In copertina: Maria Casalanguida, "Bottiglie e cubetto", 1975, collezione privata

188: Jonathan Richman // SA!

SA! Jonathan Richman 2018, Blue Arrow

Jonathan Richman is the sweetest soul in rock ‘n’ roll, and if on 2018’s SA! he wants to take my hand and lead me through the world of self, I won’t object. I could learn a lot from Richman, the person and the artist. (I’d rather hear about Hinduism from Jonathan than listen to Kendrick play me Eckhart Tolle clips anyway.)  He might be the one famous musician who can say of his own 50-year career, without a hint of false modesty, “I’m just being myself,” and be exactly right. But credit his craft too: he knows the effect his wide-eyed, boyish, goofy sincerity has on the people around him, and he’s used that quality to become perhaps the funniest songwriter of his generation, and one who can occasionally move you to tears. His idiosyncrasies are so marked that he could never be a musical chameleon, but that “just being myself” approach has led him to make garage rock albums, country albums, children’s albums, folk albums, albums in Spanish, instrumental albums, and increasingly, albums exploring Eastern spirituality and musical forms.

Co-produced by Richman, his wife Nicole Montalbano, and his former Modern Lovers bandmate Jerry Harrison (also ex-Talking Heads), SA! finds Jonathan, as usual these days, in a stripped-down acoustic mode, tastefully accompanied as needed by long-time friends and collaborators. A number of the songs incorporate raga structures, and the warm drone of Montalbano’s tambura throughout helps to situate you in Jonathan’s mystical state of mind. He adapts ancient bhakti poetry, muses on the fleetingness of existence, and even refashions the Modern Lovers’ “Old World” into a dreamy repudiation of empty nostalgia. Richman has surprisingly little trouble adapting his talky, unpredictable phrasing to the scales and rhythms of raga, but then he’s always been a master of landing back on beat just when it seemed he’d finally rambled his way beyond hope of recovery.

SA! has a suite-like quality, with songs flowing into one another and motifs from earlier numbers reappearing in snippets later on. The a-side goes deepest into the trance, with the three-song stretch of “O Mind! Let Us Go Home / A Penchant for the Stagnant / O Mind! Just Dance!” presenting the Richman version of a meditation session. Having delved to the cosmic root, or at least given a good poke around for it, the b-side is closer to Jonathan’s usual haunts. On offer are the joyful Duolingo bop “¡Alegre Soy!” (“I Am Happy!”) and the tender reflections “And Do No Other Thing” and “The Sad Trumpets of Afternoon.” Best of all is the brief, hysterically wrenching vignette “Yes, Take Me Home,” sung from the perspective of a dog at the pound using his eyes to plead a passerby to take him home and to pay no mind to the unfortunate business in San Jose that got him locked up.

This is something like Richman’s seventeenth album, and it’s unlikely to be the one anyone starts with. But if it were, I think it has enough of his magic to fascinate a new listener, and a gracefulness of spirit that can be overshadowed on his more conventionally pop records. I don’t know that the answers for me lie in Hindu spiritualism, but I like the ones Jonathan embodies: love, generosity, humility, curiosity, dumb jokes, creativity, wonder. If he has something he wants to share with me, I’ll listen to him anytime.

[laeternidadporlosastros]

"Esta distinción sin número es posible porque se da fuera del tiempo y el espacio; tiempo y espacio son siempre compuestos e imperfectos. 'Dios no ha pronunciado nunca su nombre en el tiempo. En el tiempo no hay sino naturaleza creada y pecado y muerte'. Si el tiempo tuviese algo en común con el alma, Dios no podría nacer en ella, porque el simple contacto del tiempo suprimiría la divinidad de Dios. El tiempo es hijo de la eternidad, como en una u otra forma venía repitiéndose desde Platón; pero, en este caso, el hijo sólo puede formular, dolorosamente, la pregunta de Cristo a María: '¿qué hay de común entre tú y yo?'. Para que la unión sea posible, es necesario que el tiempo se anule o que el alma se refugie en el presente, en el vivo ahora de lo eterno; que se substraiga, como lo quería San Agustín, a la asfixia de la memoria y también al vértigo de la voluntad. En ese presente se da el conocimiento pleno -conocimiento sin conocimiento-; se da el ser infinito; y se asiste, con Dios, a la génesis constante, en una comunidad más íntima que la de la gota de agua con el vino: agua y vino, pero ambos transmutados en uno solo, 'de manera que ninguna criatura conseguiría jamás advertir la diferencia entre uno y otro'".

"Just talk, Mr. Rat. That's a good boy."

I liked the part with the pigeons.

Not a single thing about the science, engineering, or basic logic of this movie made any sense at all, and it was great. It never took itself too seriously, and even as it followed a highly formulaic plot, it played around with so many fun, insane ideas that you couldn't possibly be bored.

The disaster movie stuff on the surface was complete nonsense, but seeing Rome and San Francisco be wiped out by lightning storms and solar radiation lasers that melt steel was hilarious. So much lightning hit the stones of the colosseum that it became charged with energy, emanating mystical blue light from within its columns before it exploded.

I loved that their ludicrously expensive planet-core ship had doors controlled by spaghetti-wired breadboards. It also had a room accessible from within the ship that got twice as hot as their suits could withstand, but also contained exactly one very important switch that had to be manually flipped. The whole ship was a series of detachable chambers solely to allow exactly one crew member at a time to dramatically sacrifice themselves for plot advancement.

Everyone's acting was decent enough. Nothing too remarkable, except when Aaron Eckhart temporarily lost his damn mind at the door closing on that one guy. It took me like an hour to realise that he wasn't Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and another thirty minutes to realise Hilary Swank wasn't Jolene Blalock. DJ Qualls was pretty much perfectly cast as the weird 2000's hacker guy.

Computers as a concept were so nebulous to the writers of this movie that the government hired one guy to censor the entire internet. That's probably a one-man job, right? How big could this internet thing be? Later on he hacked into the entire US power grid and sent the electricity to Coney Island. All of it. All of the electricity.

The music was bizarre in a way only the early 2000's could have pulled off. During the scene with the space shuttle, it just had an inexplicable warbling sound effect mixed into it for some reason. Every title card that came up was gloriously dated, and there were CGI sequences that looked like cutscenes from C&C '95.

As long as you take absolutely none of it seriously, The Core is a very fun time.

#the core #the core 2003 #movie review

[raisongardee]

“Eckhart montre que ce discernement – en tant qu’éveil – est un principe d’autant plus essentiel à toute vie spirituelle que cette dernière est inévitablement confrontée aux nécessités de la vie active : toujours rester éveillé (Luc 12, 36 : "Soyez comme ceux qui veillent en tout temps et attendent leur maître") et ne jamais laisser sa raison s’endormir alors qu’on est engagé dans l’action. "Avec ces deux puissances, l’intellect et la volonté, l’homme doit constamment s’élever, saisir ce qu’il y a de meilleur au plus haut degré, et se prémunir sagement contre tout dommage extérieur ou intérieur. Ainsi, on ne négligera jamais rien et grandira sans cesse." 

L’éveil spirituel va ici de pair avec une transformation du rapport aux choses, dans laquelle on peut discerner deux étapes. (1) Être parmi les choses et auprès des gens (sans pour autant être entravé par celles- ou ceux-ci) : "Les choses parmi lesquelles il vit ne l’entravent pas ni ne fixent en lui d’image permanente ; car là où le cœur est rempli de Dieu, les créatures ne peuvent y avoir ni trouver place." (2) Faire de toutes choses une bénédiction : "Mais ceci ne doit pas nous suffire, il faut que nous fassions grand usage des choses pour notre bénédiction, quelles qu’elles soient, où que nous soyons, quoi que nous voyions ou entendions, quelque étrangère ou inégale qu’elles soient." 

[…] Tout en affirmant qu’il ne faut pas être entravé par les choses, Eckhart insiste donc grandement sur la nécessité inéluctable d’être avec les choses, c’est-à-dire non seulement d’œuvrer en cette vie, mais aussi de voir en cette nécessité d’œuvrer une bénédiction. En effet, sans aucune activité, la vie elle-même, par définition, ne saurait subsister. "Pour devenir réceptif à cette juste disposition, il n’y a que deux possibilités : ou bien on apprend à saisi Dieu et à le posséder dans la vie active, ou bien il faut renoncer à toute activité. Mais l’homme ne pouvant en cette vie être sans de nombreuses activités liées à sa condition humaine, il doit apprendre à demeurer sans obstacles dans toutes les œuvres et en tous lieux. C’est pourquoi, quand le commençant doit œuvrer parmi les hommes, il faut d’abord qu’il s’arme (warnen) fortement de Dieu et l’établisse fermement dans son cœur, qu’il unisse à lui toutes ses intentions, ses pensées, sa volonté et ses forces, pour qu’aucune autre image ne puisse se former en lui." “

The Ground of Our Being

The Ground of Our Being!

"God is not found in the soul by adding anything, but by a process of subtraction." —Meister Eckhart, sermon on Romans 8:18 

In his writings and sermons, medieval mystic Meister Eckhart (1260–1327) counseled detachment from anything that would separate us from God, whom he understood as the very ground of our being.

I am coming to the end of my three week break, a time of weeping over four young men who died, and of weeping over how the crackdown by the Mayor and Governor are effecting people on the street.

My colleague Rev. Keenan Kelsey use to say to me, "You have a different message than me and others." What she was saying in other words is that I am called to "Bear witness!

To bear witness to the words of Philip Berrigan, "The institutional  church is a major bureaucracy and major bureaucracies are disobedient to the Gospel."  Bearing witness of one who is "outside the gates", as the book of Hebrews tells us.

I bear witness in saying that "presence" and truly "listening" are the cornerstones of spirituality.

Simply living in the present moment,  being present, and "listening" to others deeply.

We live so far in the future worrying about "everything" and we spend all of our time on social media we lose sight of the pain of the person next to us.

Finally, bearing witness that we should  be present to the people on the street, and stop counting on the government, National Guard and police of "solving the problem."

Instead go out, see people as simply human beings and listen to them, simply listen. As Jesus tells us "Become like a little child," and listen deeply.

I close with a poem of unknown origins that sums up a way of life, a way of being present, of  finding the "ground of our being.":

"Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no one were listening, and love everything as if were your last day."

Signs of Spiritual Enlightenment & Awakening

Here are a few ways to tell if you are spiritually awakened.

Experience of Connecting

The basis of connection is our shared humanity. It could happen when:

You start to become interested in your neighborhood. It might be helping out at your neighborhood food bank or clearing the sidewalk of your neighbor.

You attempt to see things from the viewpoint of someone you previously regarded as different. Perhaps you should stop passing judgment on people and start asking them why they have tattoos or wear a burka.

You are more conscious of the other living things with whom you share the earth. You may decide to quit eating meat or discover that you prefer to collect flies and spiders than kill them.

Release of Attachment

You have attachments, whether you realize it or not. With your attachments, you define who you are. You may identify yourself by what type of car you drive, what kind of shoes you wear, what you eat, who you spend time with, what you read, and how you spend your money.

Finding Inner Peace

Consider inner tranquility as being unflappable. That means that when things go wrong in your life, you aren't experiencing an emotional roller coaster of rage, frustration, or despair.

The Dalai Lama compares inner serenity to stubbing one's toe; while there is still an emotional charge there, it is momentary. Positive feelings are magnified by inner peace, while bad emotions are covered by it.

Gaining More Intuition

Have you ever thought about a high school classmate only to run into them the next day at an airport? Have you ever heard your phone call and recognised your mother before you opened it? 

Have you ever had the impression that you already know someone when you meet them or felt an instant, inexplicable distaste for them?

All of them indicate intuition. Spiritually awakened people appear to be more likely to regularly engage with this energy if ideas, things, and people all have energy.

Being Synchronous

The sensation that something is happening because the cosmos is working behind the scenes is similar to intuition. 

Your barber comments that they were just in San Diego last weekend, your new neighbor has a San Diego license plate, and when you turn on the television, a travel commercial for the city is playing. 

Getting Rid of Death Fear

Barry Kaufman, a wise professor, once observed that all anxiety is a dread of dying. When a person awakens more, all fear often diminishes. The absence of attachment may be to blame for this. 

When you concentrate on living in the moment and stop worrying so much about the future or mourning the past, your mortality appears less dreadful. 

The death of a physical body seems less terrible when awareness is thought of as being outside of a physical body. Death can be accepted as an unavoidable aspect of life, bringing tranquilly and eliminating dread.

Achieving More Authenticity

A strong sense of value and confidence accompanies waking. The requirement to uphold political correctness or adhere to cultural standards has vanished. Instead, there is a genuine sense of contentment with who you are and your decisions.

Although many awakened individuals are influencers, they don't seek out followers. Individuals like Eckhart Tolle and Jay Shetty have enormous followings because of how they present themselves to the world, not because of some secret Instagram algorithm. One of their most endearing qualities is the act of being yourself.

Flourishing

The degree of happiness among awakened persons appears to be more constant. You know, there is a mind-body link, meaning that happy individuals tend to be healthier.

Observing how closely positive psychology study resembles research on fully awakened people is fascinating. Positive emotions, engagement, connections, meaning, and accomplishments, or PERMA as it is known in positive psychology, are all attributes of the awakened.

L'ESIGENZA DEL SACRO

"Beato Angelico", strana figura di artista, tra il rivoluzionario Masaccio e l'ineguagliabile Piero della Francesca. Nella scia del primo, precorre il secondo. Perde le tracce del tardo gotico nella rivelazione della forma plastica data dal chiaroscuro. Eppure, la luce che irradia sulle sue figure indica un'esigenza incombente. Vive anni di estremo conflitto religioso: la fine della "cattività avignonese" sfocia nel "Grande Scisma". Poi, gli estremismi conciliari che provocarono il "Piccolo Scisma" nel   tempo dei tentativi di riunificazione delle Chiese d'Occidente e d'Oriente. Cambiamenti radicali che assegnano nuovi confini alla visione del mondo, infine sanciti nel 1453 con la caduta di Costantinopoli. Può udire le voci di Nicola Cusano e di Leon Battista Alberti. È uomo di fede. Appartiene all'ordine domenicano: sente la lezione di Tommaso d'Aquino e quella di Meister Eckhart. Questo il crogiolo rovente nel quale agisce. I suoi testi pittorici divengono espressione di un'esigenza mistica: l'ineffabilità di Dio è compensata dal sentimento del sacro. La matrice originaria della pittura occidentale, il fondo dorato dell'icona, lo induce a mantenere uno sguardo incantato su quell'alterità che non appartiene alla dimensione umana. Alterità che è distacco preminente dalla mondanità, caotica e conflittuale. Non vi può rinunciare: è una scelta. Schietta. La sua vena artistica appartiene a quella scelta. Nella quale, per coerente necessità, è escluso ogni dramma. Per queste ragioni, rimane confinato in un passato ideale. Ma l'esigenza del sacro, inteso come figura di pensiero, è rimasta desiderio irriducibile, capace ancora di percorrere, sotto altre forme o tentativi di forma, la pittura contemporanea. 

Beato Angelico, Fra' Giovanni da Fiesole, al secolo Guido di Pietro (1395 - 1455): "Pala di Fiesole", predella, particolare (Tutti i Santi), 1424 - 1425, Chiesa di San Domenico, Fiesole (Firenze)

BIOGRAPHY

TL;DR

Kyle Moore was born to an affluent family in San Francisco, California. The youngest of four sons, the boys were always urged to pursue their true passions. Kyle's were art and language and he became fluent in nine languages and proficient in many others by the time he was 25. Kyle met the love of his life Clarissa Mattson early in his sophomore year of college when she pulled him aside to discuss a charity fundraiser with the art community on Stanford University's campus. He proposed during the middle of their junior year and they were married shortly after graduation. The two welcomed two daughters, Jessica and Alyssa, into the world and lived a rather picturesque life. That was until Jessica died in an apartment fire on Stanford's campus. When her boyfriend fled town and the FBI started asking questions, Kyle was always quick to defend the young man. He felt he could read people well and anyone Jessica trusted with her heart had to have a good one themselves. He and Clarissa followed Alyssa to Stanford, where Kyle is now a linguistics professor and owns an art gallery that showcases young artists, dedicated to Jessica.

FULL BIO

Kyle Moore was born to an affluent family in San Francisco, California on February 19, 1961. The youngest of four sons, there was rarely a dull moment in his household. His father, James Moore was the cofounder of a successful brewing company and his mother Cheryl Moore was a well respected psychiatrist. Kyle and his siblings James Jr, Mark, and Steven had plenty of time to explore the city they called home and pursue any hobby they set their mind to. From the second he stole a paintbrush out of his mother's hand when he was three, Kyle's hobby had always been the pursuit of art. Additionally, he picked up a love for linguistics from his father who had dual majored at Stanford University in both business and linguistics. His mantra was that he wouldn't give up the things he was most passionate about for the pursuit of money. Therefore, a lot of his father's free time was spent translating and teaching college courses around the city. Kyle was a quick study and always bugged his father for lessons on various languages until he could learn on his own.

Excelling in high school, he played soccer and ran track in addition to playing saxophone in the band and being involved in student council. He volunteered at retirement homes throughout the area on Saturday mornings, helping activity directors incorporate arts and crafts into their programming. All of this with the goal of getting into his parent's alma mater -- Stanford University. All of his siblings had went for various careers and being the unplanned runt of the litter, Kyle felt that it was duty to follow in his sibling's rather large footsteps. He got a part time job at a grocery store to help him save up for college. Juggling everything was extremely taxing, but he pulled through with nearly perfect grades. The very limited free time he had was immersed in art, studying the greats and developing his own style with his favorite medium: paint. Stepping out of high school with the valedictorian title and stepping on to Stanford's campus for the first time as a student with a full ride was well worth it.

From a young age he had agreed to live by his father's mantra. But he wasn't the same man. While his father enjoyed beer, business, and the languages Kyle enjoyed art, the languages, and teaching. His ultimate goal was to become a college professor of some of the nine languages he was mostly fluent in (with many others he only knew moderately well). In addition to that, translating scientific papers would be flexible money. The rest of his time would be spent devoted to art, with the hopes of opening his own gallery some day far down the line. He rushed Sigma Nu, the oldest fraternity at Stanford, his freshman year. Kyle couldn't deny the benefits of being involved in such a great, involved organization and was sure the association would help him throughout his life. It seemed well rooted, rather than an excuse to party, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He had no idea going in that he would meet the love of his life through its affiliation with Pi Beta Phi. At this stage of his life, having a wife and a family of his own was not yet on his radar.

That was until he met her. Greek socials were a great way to strengthen ties and brainstorm joint events that would make the university look good, which would in turn benefit the Greek organizations. This had been one of those events, a small social with a little bit of purpose that would dissolve a little bit throughout the night. Clarissa Mattson, he had heard the name tossed around a few times but hadn't gotten the chance to meet her. Not until she walked up to him and nearly dragged him out of a conversation he was having with his fellow brothers. Always determined, she had an idea for a charity fundraiser with the art department and Kyle took at least one class a semester and was president of the art club -- the obvious point of contact in the fraternity. The two ended up planning the bulk of the event together on their own. It didn't take very long for Kyle to ask her out on a date. After that, the two were basically inseparable. His more flexible schedule allowed him to find time amidst her countless hours of studying for her premed courses.

Kyle and Clarissa got engaged during their senior years at Stanford and married just a few weeks after he graduated with his degrees in linguistics and education. The pair had had many discussions over the past few years and decided that it was a good time to start their family. They wanted to start their family right away instead of lose the opportunity for a whirlwind of years while she was in medical school. Ultimately the decision was made that she would take a gap year before applying to medical school. The stress and unpredictability of making the pregnancy work out perfectly so that the baby was born during the summer wasn't something they wanted to risk her having to quit in the middle of a year. They soon discovered that they might have been able to swing the timing just right when Clarissa got pregnant nearly right away. Only ten months after their wedding, their first daughter Jessica Lee Moore was born on January 24, 1984.

Kyle was able to teach high school German and Spanish while he worked on his doctorate degree primarily through night classes. Clarissa spent her year off helping balance the schedule their infant and continuing to gain medical experience as an EMT and assisting one of her professors with research on campus. Before they knew it Jessica was out of diapers and Kyle was nearly finished with his doctorate while Clarissa embarked on her residency journey. It wasn't until Jessica was about to start kindergarten when the subject of more kids became more serious (partly due to their daughter's incessant begging). They wanted a bit of the craziness to die down with their own educations before adding another child to the mix so that they would be able to work around Clarissa's schedule. Her second year of residency seemed to be the best option because she had one with an awesome preceptor that would allow her to adapt her schedule more than most would.

Alyssa Rae Moore was born prematurely on December 28, 1989. Born at 31 weeks old, she was in the NICU for over a month and a half. That meant carting Jess back and forth whenever he could and sometimes fighting Clarissa home to get some sleep on a decent mattress or let him stay with her for the night. It was a challenge, but their little fighter came out of it strong with no health problems. With a great family beside them, Kyle and Clarissa were able to live out their aspirations and spend time with their children. Jessica took to art and had some great raw talent from a young age. Alyssa was more into dancing and soccer, both of which Kyle could admire since he was pretty sure he had stepped on Clarissa's feet every single time they had danced together. Both of his daughters excelled in school despite never getting pressured to do so by their parents. Perhaps they felt pressured on their own but Kyle liked to think that it was in their blood.

The family did everything together. Very outdoorsy, the couple was never afraid to use their vacation or sick days for hiking trips throughout the west coast where they had settled in San Francisco into their first home given to them by Kyle's older brother Mark, shortly after Clarissa finished up her residency. Trips to Stanford weren't uncommon either. They were decently charitable and would never miss the CalU football game (or the first home game if CalU wasn't played at the Stanford Stadium). This caused both Moore girls to fall in love with the campus, making it their goals to attend just as Kyle had at their age. It was an extremely proud moment to help Jessica move in in the fall of 2002. Pursuing the career of a pediatrician like her mother, Jess also vowed to stay involved in the art community on campus which prompted Kyle to give her his most enthused tour of the campus. Unfortunately, Jessica's admittance to Stanford would ultimately lead to the greatest tragedy for the Moore family.

At the tail end of Jessica's sophomore year, she started to date a boy named Sam Winchester. From what he gathered from Alyssa, he was 'the cutest boy on campus' that was a bit mysterious but was very sweet. They met Sam a few times on Stanford's campus and he had come home with Jess for one of the breaks due to Jess insisting that he couldn't spend the time off alone in his apartment. Instantly, Kyle could sense his kind soul and how desperately he cared for his daughter. Despite wanting to be critical, he liked talking with the law student and approved of him greatly. Nothing prepared Kyle for the call he got late at night in November 2005. Jessica had perished in an apartment fire that Sam was able to escape. The boy skipped town and never returned to Stanford, which Kyle could understand. It was difficult as hell to keep on living in the house he had raised his daughter in.

The family was lost in grief for over a year. Alyssa worked hard to keep going, always distracted herself. When she kept her stance to stay on track to Stanford, her father reminded her resolve. Maybe all of them were chasing ways to get closer to their Jessie. Shortly after Alyssa was accepted early decision into the university, Kyle and Clarissa resolved to leave San Francisco behind. Kyle gets a job teaching linguistics and languages at Stanford and Clarissa was hired at Stanford's Primary Care Office. Somehow, this wasn't enough. Kyle saved up for a couple of years and was able to open an art gallery that would display the art of young artists from the University and the general public in honor of his daughter. Currently, Kyle still teaches at Stanford and runs his art gallery, hoping to find something to fill the hole losing his daughter left in his heart and dumbfounded by the images of Sam Winchester floating around the news.
