Latest happenings in Miraland

Picked up the COMHEM broadband kit ; modem and router.
Unpacked it and contemplated attempting to install it myself.
Decided against it.
I'll wait for The Prof's assistance on Monday. :)

Meanwhile ...MacLappy and Firefox are becoming excellent friends.They play well together. Joy. This was not the case with PC and Firefox. :no:

Why do Mac recommend Safari, I wonder ?

Hmmmmmmmm

That's all for now :) :wave:


 
 

The highest good is like water

by miramaze @ Friday, 28. Mar, 2008 - 22:42:07

The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.

In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, watch the timing.

~ Tao Te Ching ~
(Translation by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English)

What does a fish know about the water in which it swims all its life?

Another spring day, with pigeons cooing and making their amorous sounds. At 5 am this morning , I looked out of the window and happened to see the moon - a most beautiful waning golden orb in the pale blue morning sky. I feel so excited when I manage to spot the moon on her ever changing journeys through the sky. She wasn't there last night when I went to bed. Her setting place had also changed.

Plants needed watering - did that :)

Broadband from Comhem has arrived and needs to be collected at the shop. Phoned the Prof to share this good news , as he has promised to help me install the thing. Bless. Also reminded him of his father's birthday today. Happy Birthday Roberto ! Virtual hugs and kisses.

Have been trying to organise my google homepage. Since installing firefox on mac lappy ...hmmm that's a good name MacLappy :) ....there are changes. Templates .. tabs.. add-ons..... it's a jungle out there. Takes time to personalise things .. and I so enjoy personalising things. It takes time and is addictive. Frustrating too when I can't control as I would like lol .. see.. control issues making themselves visible :))

All this before breakfast too. TTFN hope you are all enjoying this wonderful Friday in Blogland. May the Spring Sun Shine on you ! :wave:

From Maithri's blog

Dr. Maithri Goonetilleke's blog : THE SOARING IMPULSE

http://soaringimpulse.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-can.html

If you cannot feed one hundred people. Feed one. ~ Mother Teresa

........ There are those who will dare you to dream.

But I dare you to set your dreams on fire. I dare you to wake up every morning and whisper to the virgin sky... "I can".

To transpose your life into the key of possibillity.

I know that we are never given a dream without also being given the ability to draw that dream into reality.

I believe we need to create a vision for our lives. To gild it with love and to never let anyone smear or diminish that beautiful picture of what's possible.

And the miracle is... that when we keep that picture in our minds... and we walk towards it with unshakeable confidence, and unconditional love.... Then the world rises up to help us. The universe yields to our touch... It takes our little song and turns it into a symphony... a music beyond anything we could have ever imagined...

So the next time that little voice of doubt, or someone you know, tells you that you cant make a difference in this world. That you can't be the light. That you can't change things...

Close your eyes

and whisper,

'I can.'

My love to you, Maithri "

When you are inspired by some great purpose

by miramaze @ Friday, 28. Mar, 2008 - 01:46:13

I love the way Blogland and blogging works and how the Universe connects and guides us souls in cyberspace. I posted this in one of my blogs last year :

Patanjali : When you are inspired by some great purpose
“When you are inspired by some great purpose,
some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break their bonds:
Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every direction,
and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive,
and you discover yourself
to be a greater person by far
than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
- - Patanjali

Today I got a message that Maithri ( http://www.blogger.com/profile/17039947095595430108 ) had left a new comment on my "Patanjali" post.

Dear Friend,

Patanjalis words have long inspired me.. helped me to break my bonds... I was looking for the exact quotation today to post to my blog.... and somehow found my way here...

Sending you the love that lights the stars on the tender arms of this evening,

M

I feel as if I've been touched by an angel , honoured and blessed.

Indian

Belly full to bursting after a delightful Indian meal .:) Anna-Stina's treat. Pakoras to start with and then lamb sizzle ( ? ) piping hot in an iron dish for Anna Stina and Prawn curry for me. Nan bread and papodoms. Yummy. I'm so glad I can now parp to my heart's content without disturbing the peace.

At the end of the meal A-S asked if I wanted some Indian tea . I declined at first but she insisted . I can always drink tea- only it turned out to be CHAI .. the milky spicy drink that makes me feel quite sick just to look at :( Sorry. Call me ungrateful but I simply could not drink it just to be polite. I feel awful now :( but would have felt worse had I drunk it . It was an embarrassing end to a lovely meal. The Bollywood music channel on the flat screen nearby helped change the subject :)
