A Thought To Share On 9-11 . . .
Life is eternal. But the expressions of life are ephemeral, momentary, transient.
Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, once said,
This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds.
To watch the birth and death of beings is like
looking at the movements of a dance.
A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky,
Rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile.

2 Irish Blessings To Share. . .
May you love as long as you want to,
and want to as long as you live.
May you be poor in all misfortunes,
But rich in the love you give.
May you be slow to make enemies,
But quick in the making of friends.
May you always be full of happiness,
A happiness that never ends.
-------------------------
Friendship is like a beautiful star in the sky...
May this star shine forever
and may it continue to glow
Until the sun and moon fall from the sky
May it continue to shine
As brightly as the twinkle in my eyes
When I see you.
and want to as long as you live.
May you be poor in all misfortunes,
But rich in the love you give.
May you be slow to make enemies,
But quick in the making of friends.
May you always be full of happiness,
A happiness that never ends.
-------------------------
Friendship is like a beautiful star in the sky...
May this star shine forever
and may it continue to glow
Until the sun and moon fall from the sky
May it continue to shine
As brightly as the twinkle in my eyes
When I see you.

Quote of the Day
Interesting quote I heard today. . .
You've never really helped
another person until
they no longer need any help.
something you said, did, put them on a path. . .
it was regarding self sufficiency and leadership.

David Lynch in Brazil - 1000s of Children learn TM
This is great stuff - what a smart way to eliminate the violence in rio.
A solution for violence? Couldn't hurt

The man who brought us "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet" is now suggesting a cure for the violence ravaging Rio de Jaineiro: Transcendental meditation.
The Associated Press reported today that the American director hopes to meet with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to discuss the possibility of offering mediation studies in Brazil. He's in country promoting his new book, "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness and Creativity."
Lynch proposed bringing meditation studies to Brazilian schools and universities, and said such a move "would end the stress among youths and free the country of violence."
In 2005 Lynch, a meditation practitioner for more than 30 years, founded the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace
Among other things, the foundation provides funds for in-school "Quiet Time" programs using the Transcendental Meditation technique. In the past year, the foundation has provided millions of dollars for thousands of students, teachers, and parents to learn to meditate. According to the Web site, the foundation also provides funds for independent research institutions to assess the effects of the program on creativity, intelligence, brain functioning, academic performance, ADHD and other learning disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Lynch was a disciple of the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who gained fame as guru to the Beatles but later exported his meditation techniques around the world prior to his death earlier this year.
In an inteview with Lynch following the Maharishi's death, the director told AP he believed the Maharishi had laid the groundwork for world peace, even if that was not immediately apparent from.
"The world appears in bad shape on the surface, but I compare it to a tree: there are yellow sickly leaves dropping off but the Maharishi has brought nourishment to the roots," Lynch told AP. "Hang on for a little while longer, it's coming."
It can't come too soon for Rio de Jaineiro, which is among the most violent cities in the world. It can't come too soon for us, either.
