Looking ahead at 2007! Posted on December 30, 2006December 30, 2006 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!!!

Pop about town! Posted on June 7, 2005June 7, 2005 Dad, or Papa as I call him, arrived in town last week and therefore my slight lack of time. He’s in town for just a few days and it’s been quite interesting to have him around. One thing about Papa is that he flowers when Mum is not around. He’s talkative, chatty and engages everyone in some kind of conversation or another.

So here I am, still struggling to find a broadband connection at… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
