Far Talking-Wow!

July 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Today I read a level 3 children’s book to Wise One about Alexander Graham Bell (and Tom Watson) and the invention and implementation of the telephone (“far talking”).

I cried. I was overwhelmed with awe at what an amazing invention this is and at how it almost wasn’t “discovered” by others because Bell was hidden upstairs (hardly anyone was willing to go up there in the heat) at the World’s Fair. But it took just One person to go crazy over it for the rest of the world to catch on. The telephone by Bell almost didn’t happen, But it DID!!!!

Look what it has evolved into.

This world is so amazing!

What discovery or invention or work of art will happen because of You? The opportunity to change the world, to create the awe-inspiring is Yours!

Enjoy the ride!

Birdsong

July 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Dear Rumi, this is my longing and my prayer, too.

 

Birdsong

Birdsong brings relief to my longing.

I am just as ecstatic as they are,

But with nothing to say.

Please, Universal Soul

Practice some song,

Or something,

Through me.

 

–Rumi
