This We Know

This we know: all things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

Fixing Something

Never think of revising as fixing something that is wrong. That starts you off in a negative frame of mind. Rather think of it as an opportunity to improve something you already love.

Just for Dad

Every child has a right to its own bent ... It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.

George Bernard Shaw

Cynicism

Cynicism is a form of resistance. Scratch every cynic and underneath you find a wounded idealist.

Shiva's Cosmic Dance

"In THE SYMBOLISM OF SHIVA'S Cosmic Dance is hidden a deep understanding of how our universe works, from the tiny atom to inconceivably immense intergalactic spaces. Shiva's unending Dance of Creation, Preservation and Destruction is art, science and religion merged as one. When we behold His Dance, the world is seen as it truly is--sacred. Every happening within it is His Divine Will."

From "SIVA'S COSMIC DANCE, An Introduction to the World's Most Ancient Religion, Saivite Hinduism."
