The Understanding Heart

AS ONE CAN SEE WHEN
THE EYES ARE OPENED,
SO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND
WHEN THE HEART IS OPENED.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The Bowl of Sake


Of Note: And one can Know when the mind is opened. Then we have it all.

Today's Weather Report: Partly cloudy and cold, especially without any electricity for several hours today when the electrician was here wiring the barn. Did you know that we do not yet know all the properties of electricity? We are sure dependant on something that we do not fully understand.

Watch For Change Snippit: 84-year old Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) was convicted yesterday on seven felony counts stemming from corruption charges. He spoke in his own defense at the trial and said that many of the gifts he received were just loans. He is quoted as saying that lots of stuff in his house did not belong to him. Hum. The jury did not buy this rationalization. Stevens is up for re-election next week and refused to step down after his conviction. We will see if the people of Alaska value the love of truth more than their very popular Senator, who was one of the prime earmark kings in the Senate. Remember the "Bridge to Nowhere"?
