Big Sky Country has already turned our favorite shade of blue, thanks to
our sort of in-house Wikipedia marriage map monitor. Now we wait for
the usual GOP flailing. Is this state #34 or can we not yet fully count
Kansas?

JMG Tweet Of The Day - Ellen DeGeneres
Flower of the Day: 11/20/14
“If
you have already given five minutes of your day to silence, then maybe
it is time to give ten minutes. At the end of each silent period before
you open your eyes, affirm to yourself, I am divine light.
Observe what you feel when you make this affirmation – do you truly
recognize yourself as an embodiment of divine light, or is there still
some resistance to affirming this truth? Then, open your eyes, stand up
and continue with your journey.”
Sri Prem Baba

The Role of Faith | November 20, 2014
As a factor of the Buddhist path, faith (saddha) does not mean blind belief but a willingness to accept
on trust certain propositions that we cannot, at our present stage of development, personally verify for ourselves.
- Bhikkhu Bodhi, "The Role of Faith" |
