I have become an obsessive blog reader...for good or for bad. One of my new favorites is Jen Gray. I love what she does and I'm jealous of all that talent! Her site led me to this site Visual Voice.net.
The post Monks Under the Microscope got me thinking. I just got back from a trip to Yosemite and had a few moments of meditation and reflection- and it HAS help me re-set my direction. There is no doubt of the mind body connection for me. I feel more relaxed and composed than I have in months. The greatness of the place - even in August when it is crawling with tourist and crowds - can not diminish the spiritual value of what was created by the hands of nature.
We left the house at 6AM to be on our way up to Yosemite and we heard the news that a major terrorist attack had been thwarted. And then I got to thinking about it...I asked myself what do the terrorist really *WIN* by blowing up innocent people? What do they really gain? What is their ultimate goal? To rule the world? Why? To get every human to follow an ideology, religion, philosophy?
Even if you beat everyone into submission (or at least the ones left alive)- they can still meditate, pray and think how they wish - you can never take away a humans spirit or the voice that speaks for them. So what's in it for the terrorists? I guess I'm too simple and I must be missing something.
