Thought for the Day

the bugle call...



           Remembrance of things future/
                
                               Go Forth/

           before history changes everything.

Thought for the Day

                  Say no evil.
                                 Hear no evil.
                                                See no evil.
 








  And don't forget to say hello, because people, for the most part, are  good.

Things can change in the blink of an eye/
                                                          
                                                           Who blinked?

Thought for the Day

Hindu Temple's Pinnacle 



Need change?
Flip a coin.
Heads is Option A.
Tails is Option B.
While in the air,
Before looking at the way it lands,
Listen to what you hope for.
When you look at the captured coin,
How do you feel?
Was it the answer that you wanted?
If you are disappointed, go the other direction.
If you are happy, you'll know, within that very instant,
which way is the right way to go.
The coin is not the answer, but merely a tool,
enabling us to materialize what we had hoped for all along.


                                                                              
Some writers have talked about how the physical embodiment of a sacred sanctum
is a manifestation of the human body's exterior form:
the angles, elevations, and appendages
are a reflection of a larger, interior story of the worshiping masses
as well as an individual narrative of faith.
Think of the highest point on the building as a spinner, a grand coin capturer, that determines
the left and right of things: the cosmic balance of destiny.
Spin that coin and decide your fate.

                                      Your time is limited, 
  so don't waste it living someone else's life.  
                                                         -Steve Jobs



This woman, like many millions in India, lives on the street.  In Hyderabad, she shares the road space between lanes and calls it her abode.  


There are so many things to be thankful for--
There are so many ways that, with a little determination, we can make great change.

Thought for the Day

Never ignore those intuitions. 
When you have some slight repugnance about doing something,
listen to it. -Rumi

I saw this beautiful little girl sitting by the side of a Jain pigeon sanctuary in Mumbai, at Chowpatty Beach.  This is where many of the Ganesha statues, in honor of the elephant god, are annually carried, bathed, and immersed in the sea by thousands of devotees.  The little girl stared into the bird haven for awhile, until her curiosity overtook the expectation to stay on the outside of the bird residence.  When she walked with the birds, hundreds flew away simultaneously and, when they did, she stretched out her arms like she, too, was free.
