Perhaps my favorite store

Bird Droppings April 11, 2011 Perhaps my favorite store It is the first time this year I needed my alarm to wake up in the morning. I am a bit out of my normal routine perhaps after a week of spring break. Interesting two thoughts while similar struck me this morning as I started the…

Pondering so many things on the last day of Spring Break

Are we going in the right direction?

Religion is what you make of it

Bird Droppings March 29, 2011 Religion is what you make of it “A poor devotee points to the sky and says, ‘God is up there.’ An average devotee says, ‘God dwells in the heart as the Inner Master.’ The best devotee says, ‘God alone is and everything I perceive is a form of God.’” Ramakrishna…

A beginning from an end

Bird Droppings March 28, 2011 A beginning from an end “It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.” Albert Einstein Over the past two days…
