2012

Well we are still here, happy new year to everyone, it is 2012, wow....sounds very futuristic! how did I survive all these years and where is it all going, lots of profound questions, but slightly dissapointed that the cosmos did not split in two, [yet] no aliens came to visit [yet] and looks like today is another day in paradise, but we did survive it all, so now again it is time to look forward, make new plans and put behind us all our regrets and fears from before. Today is our gift.

Really enjoyed my week of rest in Gokarna, a very spiritual, peaceful place. Apparently it was here where Vishnu was born out of the ear of a cow and thus a strong community of devoties have established themselves here. I am starting to envy these people and their colourful Gods, customs, their daily Pugas, rituals and offerings, sweet insence that satturates the streets having something to believe in bigger than our own egos does make peaceful happy people.

So that is my wish for us all to smile, leg go of the self, our ego, our desires, our cravings, our material and emotion distractions, so that the waters of our mind become still, no disturbance upon its surface, the pool becomes clear and reflects the truth and beauty of this strange mysterious world.
