Life Rushes From Within

She used to drag her mattress besider her low window and lie awake for a long while, vibrating with excitement, as a machine vibrates from speed. Life rushed in upon her through that window - or so it seemed. In reality, of course, life rushes from within, not from without. There is no work of art so big or so beautiful that is was not once all contained in some youthful body, like this one which lay on the floor in the moonlight, pulsing with ardor and anticipation.

The Foundation of the Universe

The fulfilment of desires, the foundation of the universe, the rewards of sacrifices, the shore where there is no fear, that which adorable and great, the wide abode and the goal-all this you have seen; and being wise, you have with firm resolve discarded everything.
-- Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter II, 11

History Starts Now

Should there be "people" or "peoples"?
Money, funny pedestals for fools who never pay.
Raise your army; choose your steeple.
Don't be shy, the satellites can look the other way.

Lose the earthquakes; keep the faults.
Fill the oceans without the salt.
Let every man own his own hand.

What kind of world do you want?
Think anything.
Let's start at the start,
Build a masterpiece.
Be careful what you wish for;
History starts now...
-- John Ondrasik
