Happy Birthday Oli!

Listening: Dressy Bessy - Dressy Bessy

Work just called and wants me to go to Louisiana for the potential hurricane, Ernesto. I can not go because I have the inner ear infection. I'm still in lots of pain. The two darvocets every six hours does not seem to be working.

Today is the brother's birthday and I sent him this poem:
At last I find a meaning of soul's birth
Into this universe terrible and sweet,
I who have felt the hungry heart of earth
Aspiring beyond heaven to Krishna's feet.

I have seen the beauty of immortal eyes,
And heard the passion of the Lover's flute,
And known a deathless ecstasy's surprise
And sorrow in my heart for ever mute.

Nearer and nearer now the music draws,
Life shudders with a strange felicity;
All Nature is a wide enamoured pause
Hoping her lord to touch, to clasp, to be.

For this one moment lived the ages past;
The world now throbs fulfilled in me at last.

- Sri Aurobindo

I had to post it here because I thought it beautiful.
