Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

All is bright

The hardest thing to believe when you're young
is that people will fight to stay in a rut,
but not to get out of one.

Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter.
Who would think that those branches would turn
green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Thought for the Day

I have spent my days stringing and un-stringing my instrument,

while the song I came to sing remains unsung to this day.

Rabindranath Tagore

December 8th - Bodhi Day

The birth of this blog is to commemorate the birth of the Buddha's enlightened-self under the famed Bodhi tree in India some 2500 years ago.

I hope this blog serves as inspiration to all who seek it out in some small way , shape or form.


"Begin at the beginning,", the King said, very gravely,
"and go on till you come to the end: then stop”.
