When the attention is turned inward a soft sound is heard. At first it might be
the quiet chirping of crickets in the night or the flowing of gentle stream. It is
heard as a random, soothing "white noise" that seems to emanate from the base of
the skull.
When focused upon with deep attention, this sound resolves into a clearer pitch
that can resemble the ringing of a bell that is heard and, finally, felt
throughout the body.
This sound is Krishna's flute calling his devotees to him. It is the ringing of
the bells of paradise.
This sound signals the beginning of deep meditation. The more we open to the
sound, the more the attention is drawn heavenward while the divine flow pours
through us.

Lets face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this poem
It ends

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a
trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
�It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do
not dare that they are difficult.�
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take
the first step.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a
stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman
opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and
asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler
left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give
him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone
to the wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it
back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what
you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."
Edith Wharton
You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it
once. ~Lillian Dickson
