From yesterday's emails ... I'd forgotten writing this mantra (about a year ago): "I like to watch the mystery gradually unfold. No logic is required when you're wrinkled and old."
Looks like a nice enough day for this - now all I have to work out is the time difference between New York & Melbourne ... {seems like it's us 15 hrs ahead?}

Today's mantra: "You'll never take my fragrance away"
{to the tune of 'You are my sunshine'}
Well ... I did set my alarm for 2 AM for that fifteen minute prayer
vigil ...

"Yeah. So deep it can't seem to claw its way out."

That IQ test from yesterday ... kinda reminds me of a quote from our old mate the daily lama ... something along the lines that our education system spends a lot of time

heart with compassion ...

Watched an excellent movie last night called 'Frequency' ... really gets you thinking about time and changing one tiny event in the past ... :)

}

Some ironic stuff I read at some discussion board ... proud to be an american ... where I know I'm free ... the irony is that as long as your mind is attached to such concepts as nationalism, you're a very LONG way from being truly free ...
Yes, wasn't it Mr Einstein who compared patriotism to the measles ...
Plus someone saying how much they hate complainers ... (a) Hate is a very strong word to use for people who may seem a bit different from yourself in some aspect or other ... (b) stating that you hate complainers is in itself a complaint ...
On second thoughts, hatred is probably a step or two above a mere complaint ...
