- C. S. Lewis
Wow, religion and politics in as many days. When my sister Marcia pointed this out to me in a comment, I told her those are the things that are on my mind. She says I might want to write about puppies and kitties today. But look at today's Peace Quote above; it fits so well with the lessons I'm trying to learn.
When I was preparing to leave Asheville I asked a friend for some "chant music" for the road. Her spiritual practice includes more formal meditation than mine and I was sure she had some appropriate music to accompany her sitting. My favorite CD from her is "Dakshina" by Deva Premal, a German-born woman with a lovely alto voice who sings Hindu chants. Here's one of my favorite cuts from the album. I recommend that you just listen and not get hung up on what it means (no, that's not a swastika). I love it for the music and the voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SUoY-bfweg
If you want to see what she looks like, here's another Youtube video.

I'd rather stay here and write a poem for you but it's 2 p.m. and I must go up to Shoreline and dump my holding tanks. I should have done it yesterday. Tomorrow is another day.
