Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the…Continue

The difficulty of the situation lies in one's own state of mind. To
make something big as small or to make something small as big depends
on one's state of mind. When one's state of mind is good, to deal
with situations becomes easy. So even difficult situations are
crossed over with great ease. Then there will be no dependency on the
external situations to change the internal state of mind. That is,
there will never be a reaction to external situations but there… Continue

Wage peace with your breath.
Breathe in firemen and rubble,
breathe out whole buildings
and flocks of redwing blackbirds.
Breathe in terrorists and breathe out sleeping children
and freshly mown fields.
Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees.
Breathe in the fallen
and breathe out lifelong friendships intact.

One week the island was tracking the largest tiger shark ever caught. Me and my friend Virgil estimated that the shark was still close to the north shore and went surfing. We had an erie feeling then out of the BLUE the shark breached water right next to us and knocked… Continue

World Peace is possible. Together we can. Peace requires very little effort.
As little as just sharing your thoughts and ideas on how we can inspire peace around us. As little as writing a peace message to a leader of your choice. As little as expressing yourself through a graphic or capturing a photograph depicting peace. As little as reaching out to us to share your message with peace ambassadors. As little as participating in Message for Peace contest by Rotary Club of Purulia. As… Continue

Today is Wednesday, February 25, Day 27 of the Season For Nonviolence, and the thought for today is GENEROSITY.
Mother Teresa said, “There is a hidden poverty more pervasive than lack of money. It is the poverty of the heart.” Look at ways you can contribute to your family, friends and community through your generosity. You will see how your generous gift comes back to you.
The more generous you are today, the more generosity you will have… Continue
So I got lost on my way to an interview (which I missed), and since I was in the area, I walked through the Southwest Group art showcase on Welch Road and Sigma Road, I think. Obviously it's a very inspiring place. It was like being in a smaller version of the Louvre...only you can buy stuff...amazing. http://www.swgallery.com/browse_artist.aspx
Ok, so here's the idea:
The idea centers around converting terrorists to use non-lethal force, and in so-doing, forge a new… Continue

When my wife became pregnant with our daughter I thought that it would be nice to write her a song so that she would have a special gift from her daddy. I wrote her a lullabye called "Sweet Dreams" which you can buy on a CD called "Serenity is Me" at my web site Meditations by Matthew.
It was my first attempt at writing something mellow and relaxed. As I began playing it to everyone that I knew, they all enjoyed it and thought it was… Continue
Before you begin, let me offer these words. I’m not apologizing, but I do realize many of you have and or are still working very hard for what you have and believe that it is a good thing to accumulate stuff, money, etc, to live a big life, have nice things and to leave your children with a fine inheritance… Good good…

Tonight 2/25/09 the President of the U.S. Barrack Obama gave a speech before a joint session of the U.S. congress. It was as most Obama speeches a speech of soaring rhetoric and high ideals. His mission is to restore the feeling of grand purpose to the American people...let them know that they are a people called to accomplish great things. Obama is considered an inspiring orator and a great visionary. The speech was rousing and it was interrupted by a number of standing ovations by…Continue
