It's Armed Forces Day!
"It is fitting and proper that we devote one day each year to paying special tribute to those whose constancy and courage constitute one of the bulwarks guarding the freedom of this nation and the peace of the free world."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
A personal thank you to all the men and women who serve and all the families who sacrifice. God bless you.
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952)
"You may control a mad elephant;
You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger;
Ride the lion and play with the cobra;
By alchemy you may learn your livelihood;
You may wander through the universe incognito;
Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful;
You may walk in water and live in fire;
But control of the mind is better and more difficult."
— Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi)

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
The highest revelation is that God is in every man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sri Chinmoy
Precisely because
God loves me infinitely more
Than I love myself,
God cannot afford to be
As careless with my life
As I am.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 10, Agni Press, 1981.
