Hahaha! I know what some of you are thinking. Um, why not?
Today is the first day of my Christmas vacation. I have a week off. 2016 has been very rough on all of us. I need a break.
In keeping with the downtime and the natural winter world, I am going to try to spend some time outdoors, walking and destressing and playing Pokemon Go. I’m just kidding about the Pokemon Go. (Or *am* I?) I’m wondering if there are any pokemon near the abandoned country club not too far away…
I listen to this song when I need to destress. The phrasing is intentional. It is just long enough for deep breathing. The song is by Snatum Kaur, a Sikh singer. Sikhism doesn’t get enough attention. Very enlightened.
Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo as interpreted in this song mean:
Oh my Beloved
Kindness of the Heart
Breath of Life
I bow to YouDivine Teacher
Beloved Friend
I bow to You
again and again
Sounds lovely. Bow to the divine spirit in the people you live with.
I have practiced Nichiren Buddhism for nearly 44 years and it has the concept that each person has the potential for enlightenment or Buddhahood.
I have to look that up.
I’m kinda drawn to Sikhism right now because it is a panentheist religion and they wear those little knives to remind them to fight for injustice.
Plus, the whole concept of the divine in everything seems to be true.
There is a website you can explore at you leisure.

Thanks! Something gets lost in translation with Wikipedia.
I think you meant “fight injustice” or “fight for justice”?
It happens to all of us. 😛
Please watch this short video if you haven’t already seen it. It’s the only thing so far that has given me hope for the future of our country.
Thanks MSO.

Take care, everyone.
That phrase does have a certain meaning in the otaku community… 😈
