Thought for the day

The perfume of sandalwood, the scent of rose & jasmine, travel only as far as the wind.
But the fragrance of goodness travels with us through all the worlds.
Like the garlands woven from a heap of flowers, fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds. ~ The Buddha

About Fear

“How would you feel if you had no fear? Feel like that. How would you behave toward other people if you realized their powerlessness to hurt you? Behave like that. How would your react to so-called misfortune if you saw its inability to bother you? React like that. How would you think toward yourself if you knew you were really all right? Think like that.”

~ Vernon Howard
from Mystic Path to Cosmic Power (a great book!)

Zen thought for the day

“An average man is too concerned with liking people or with being liked himself. A warrior likes, that’s all. He likes whatever or whomever he wants, for the hell of it.”

~ Carlos Castaneda
20th century mystic and Toltec warrior
from A Separate Reality

Happy Birthday Madtown!

This is one of my favorite pictures of her - when she was 2. She's a big girl now.




Hopefully she'll come for a long visit this summer. She loves to swim - but of course - she's a Pisces.
