Looking ahead at 2007!

Journey
I don’t know where I’m going
But, I sure know where I’ve been
Hang­ing on the promises
In songs of yes­ter­day
An’ I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wast­ing no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

It’s been quite a year. But it’s time to wrap it up in tis­sue and rel­e­gate it to the back of the cup­board along with all the other mem­o­ries! And look with renewed hope and opti­mism at the com­ing year.

Here’s some­thing really beau­ti­ful that a friend sent me and I’ve been lis­ten­ing to it again and again. It’s a beau­ti­ful chant and do get hold of it if you can…

Om Sarve­sham swasthir bha­vatu (May aus­pi­cious­ness be unto all)
Sarve­sham shan­tir bha­vatu (May peace be unto all)
Sarve­sham poor­nam bha­vatu (May full­ness be unto all)
Sarve­sham man­galam bha­vatu (May good­ness be unto all)
Sarve bha­vantu suk­i­naha (May every­one be happy)
Sarve santu niramiyaha (May every­one be with­out afflic­tion)
Sarve bhad­rani pashyantu (May every­one see only good­ness)
Ma kash­chit dukha bhak bhavet (Let none be the vic­tim of suf­fer­ing)
Asato ma sat gamaya (Lead me from the unreal to the real)
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya (Lead me from dark­ness to light)
Mrtyor ma amri­tam gamaya (Lead me from death to immor­tal­ity)
Om Poorna mada poorna midam (Om, that is full, this is full)
Poor­nad poorna mudachy­ate (From that full, this full is removed)
Poor­nasaya poor­na­ma­daya Poor­nameva vasishy­ate (Yet the full remains full always)
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bha­vantu (May the whole world attain peace & har­mony)
Om Shanti, shanti, shanti

Wish­ing all of you an awe­some, rock­ing 2007!!!
