I am on vacation in Texas, looking forward to spending the holidays with family and also getting some medical issues taken care of. I have lost about 50 pounds over the last year by switching to a much healthier diet and getting much more exercise. My overall health has improved markedly as a result, but there was still some cause for concern. I passed a treadmill stress test the other day with flying colors, so it looks like my ticker is doing just fine! Whew!

BEING
“Being is born of not being.” — Tao te Ching
Being is what IS — the Creative Intelligence, the Ultimate Reality that underlies the physical reality that you perceive with your senses. It is there — always there — whether you are consciously aware of it or not. When you shift your focus from the cares and activities and problems of the day to your authentic inner self, you will discover Being — the rock-solid core of joy, peace, love, and contentment that resides within you — which is available for you to draw upon and gain strength from every moment of every day. When your nerves are frazzled or you are frustrated or otherwise disturbed and you feel the need to center yourself and find your calm inner core, shift your focus inward — and you will find every resource that you need available in abundance.

Quote of the Day
May we harness body and mind to see The Lord of Life, who dwells in everyone. May we ever with one-pointed mind Strive for blissful union with the Lord. May we train our senses to serve the Lord Through the practice of meditation. Great is the glory of the Lord of Life, Infinite, omnipresent, all-knowing. He is known by the wise who meditate And conserve their vital energy.
Shvetashvatara Upanishad

Video of the Day
Today’s inspirational video is from Yanni, and the song is entitled “Tribute”. Listen to what Yanni has to say in his introduction to the song. It is so true!
