may not be such a bad idea for all of us to go on regular speech fasts, it is a tradition in Islam not observed by the Muslims much any more. I seem to recall having a Buddhist monk tell me about such a tradition in their way of life as well. We know how good a food fast is for the body at least once a month for a few days, I submit that it is an even a better thing for the mind if we went about our lives in silence couple of days a month. Perhaps hang a sign or scratch pad around our necks to write what we have to say. Talk about teaching the old ego a humble lesson! hang this baby!
LEGACY OF A JOURNEY
LOOK WHO IS? Salaam(peace children); What does the sparrow say to Spring in the air? when will my children see unity in face of all separateness? When the time is right, only then will the true seeker see, even with the same eyes which hitherto were unable to do so. Ripen apples fall freely from the tree no reason to hold on to the old life once I was an unripen fruit once I had visions of grandeur and magnificence! Ahhh....how fools rush in where wise men will not enter. Be ever so like the river flowing, not clinging free from the form free from the pain forms contain always seeking the WAY HOME! From morning until night fall that is all THAT IS ALL ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY
