You have one body, respect it; one mind, feed it well, and one life, ENJOY IT! The great battle of meditation is with restless thoughts. --Paramhansa Yogananda Hannah’Äôs Travels... in Chronological Order A photo of me at a Compressor party in 2008

"What do you think will happen?" --
¬Ý
¬Ýif you distance yourself
¬Ýonly for an hour
¬Ýfrom your endless thoughts
¬Ýwhat do you think will happen
¬Ý
¬Ýif you let yourself sink
¬Ýjust like a fish
¬Ýinto the ocean of our love
¬Ýwhat do you think will happen
¬Ý
¬Ýyou are merely
¬Ýa piece of straw
¬Ýand we are
¬Ýthat eternal amber
¬Ý
¬Ýif you leap forth
¬Ýfrom your lowly house
¬Ýto fuse with the amber
¬Ýwhat do you think will happen
¬Ý
¬Ýa hundred times
¬Ýyou've promised yourself
¬Ýto depart from self-claim
¬Ýto be humble as earth
¬Ý
¬Ýonly for once
¬Ýif you keep your word
¬Ýwhat do you think will happen
¬Ý
¬Ýyou're a precious
¬Ýhidden diamond
¬Ýsunken in the mud
¬Ý
¬Ýif you wash away
¬Ýall that impurity
¬Ýfrom your gorgeous face
¬Ýwhat do you think will happen
¬Ý
¬Ýif you abandon
¬Ýfor a little while
¬Ýyour ego and greed
¬Ýtear down your shield
¬Ýrise with a quest
¬Ýto unite with the divine
¬Ýwhat do you think will happen
