“Blinking and it's dripping, the wet eyes
The cold tears or foggy breath
Pitter patter, but the melting one
The deafening silence, shining
My amusement, my curtains
The cold, behind the landscape
The conscious of aftermath
Missing, night lamp lighting
A symbolic gesture, raising my arm
My bewilderment, this work done
The cost of life, my uneven quilts
These slurks of cold air, slowly entering
By and by grabbed, a handful of curtain
Failed to judge, the end of same
Eventually, discovered the light
Flashing my eyes, my un-dilated pupil
The pane partiality covered, but visible
The range of Bimar Narsar, like a bride
It's blanket of white, flashing everywhere
It's been snowing throughout the dark”

“Blinking hard, she watched two Toltec nobles disembark from the aircraft and rush up the steps. One of them argued with the priest who had
proclaimed her death sentence. The taller of the two, wearing what she
dimly registered as the uniform of the Generals Council, demanded the
keys to her shackles.
Securing them, he walked behind the post. A curious mixture of anticipation and confusion filled Helen. Although she did not know him, a tenuous sense of hope stirred deep within her simply because he was there with her.
She turned her head from side to side, trying to watch him as he
worked to free her. “Who are you, my lord? Why are you here?”
“You sent me a lecture not long ago about your duty as a healer,
Lieutenant,” he replied, on one knee behind her to unlock the manacles
around her ankles. “I am your father.”

“Bliss - a-second-by-second joy and gratitude at the gift of being alive, conscious - lies on the other side of crushing, crushing boredom. Pay close attention to the most tedious thing you can find (Tax Returns, Televised Golf) and, in waves, a boredom like you’ve never known will wash over you and just about kill you. Ride these out, and it’s like stepping from black and white into color. Like water after days in the desert. Instant bliss in every atom.”

Think: what if you had challenges and were happy facing them? Well, that is the biggest benefit of following your Bliss. Simply, you cannot go wrong with Happiness.”

“Bliss has a funny, inexplicable, often bizarre, magnetic pull. To draw you into its fold, it will conspire to create opportunities and circumstances that will make you sit up, take notice, make choices, change direction and destination.

As a teacher. As a person. As a guy.”

“Bliss is not an abstract, unattainable state or quality. You will experience Bliss when you do what you love doing. Each of us has a special spiritual talent. Doing that one activity, honing that talent, makes us lose ourselves – in that state worry, sadness, worldly challenges, physical pain…all these dissolve and you are soaked in Happiness! That state is Bliss…and it is available to you if you choose not to postpone Happiness and you go do what you love doing!”
“Bliss is not subtractbale.”
“Bliss is the greatest blessing in life. Without knowing bliss one lives in vain. In fact, one does not live, but only survives. One simply vegetetates. Life starts only when you start moving in the dimension beyond death.
That is what meditation is: a ladder, a strategy, to go beyond death. And only a glimpse of the beyond is enough. Then you know that the body is going to die, but you are not going to die. You were here before birth, and you will be here after death. You are part of eternity. When you experience this, life becomes blissful.
And in that blissfulness, one feels that God has blessed you. Then naturally gratitude arises. This gratitude is prayer, which is the highest state of love.
Then you become thankful to existence. You feel what agift has been given to you. It is a gift that God has given to you only out of his abundance.”
