I am reading a book on meditaion by a monk whom I have high respect, Ajahn Brahm.
There is one passage I would like to share.
“..Fortunately, for those with no opportunity to go to the monastery, teachers are available in great numberes in most modern cities. They are found at the major crossroads. They are traffic lights. When the red light appears it says “Stop!” That’s letting go practice. Have you learnt how to do nothing a the traffic lights? Or does only the vehicle stop while you speed on? If so then an opportunity is being wasted…”
“If you don’t time to learn how to do nothing, you are unable to relax at the red traffic lights of life, then you will soon be forced to stop in an early grave…” happiness through meditation

Hmmm, I like this write up. Very apt. Must read this book once you are done with it.
I also like the new face of your blog but the brown makes it a little gloomy though. The orangey aspect is nice. And it looks kind of neat now that the main write up appears on the left. Hehehe
