In a peaceful atmosphere in my home this morning, sharing a cup of chai with my friend Sohffi, I told her, this moment inspires me this: And then, I proceeded to sing an overtone chant. Different resonating cavities all of sudden were filled, seperate yet became one. I am stilled filled with impressions from that moment as I had never sang overtones before... Aha moments usually happen at the most unexpected times I realize more and more : ) I am sounding like a new age hippie LOL

   
"There is about wisdom a nobility and magnificence in the fact that she doesn't just fall to a person's lot, that each man owes her to his own efforts, that one doesn't go to anyone other than oneself to find her " Read this on a wall's graffiti this morning walking through mile-end. My new early morning ritual of walking with the only intention of simply being present to the moment after bringing Una to school has proved to be filled with unexpected little treasures such as crossing a friend in the street and having a short but meaningful chit-chat, the unexpected kindness of a stranger, helping out a dog who's paw was caught in his leach, finding a twenty dollar bill flying loose on the street LOL Yet, also seeing not such nice things, simply observing, sorting through emotions and perceptions or like today, finding inspiration in a graffiti... Want to stick with this for a while as a daily routine, not be intimidated by the weather : )
