  • Seeds of Wisdom.Pdf
    Seeds of Wisdom 120 Immortal Letters, translated from Hindi. Previously called ”The Seeds of Revolution”. 2nd edition pub. 1978, 200 pgs. Later retitled ”Seeds of Wisdom” for publication in 1994. Letters written from 1966 - 1969 Miscellaneous CHAPTER 1 PREFACE I too am a farmer and I sowed some seeds. They sprouted and now flowers have come to them. My whole life is filled with the fragrance of these flowers and because of this fragrance now I am in a different world. This fragrance has given me a new birth, and now I am no longer that which is seen by ordinary eyes. The unseen and the unknown have flung open their closed doors, and I am seeing a world which is not seen through the eyes, and I am hearing music which ears are not capable of hearing. Whatsoever I have found and known is eager to flow just as the mountain waterfalls and springs flow and rush towards the ocean. Remember, when the clouds are full of water they have to shower. And when the flowers are filled with fragrance they have to give off their fragrance freely to the winds. And when a lamp is lit, the light is bound to radiate from it. Something like this has happened and the winds are carrying away some seeds of revolution from me. I have no idea in what fields they will land and who will tend them. I only know that it is from seeds like these that I have attained the flowers of life, immortality, and the divine.

  • From Grandmother's Closet to the Occupation of Wall Street The
    From Grandmother’s Closet to the Occupation of Wall Street The Josephine Gould Discourse - A Contemplation on Loss delivered by the Reverend Dr. Lynn Ashley at St. Lawrence District Assembly Rochester, New York April 27, 2012 We Experience Personal Loss I have been cleaning closets. Cleaning, clearing and redistributing the contents thereof for this past year and more. The process started last year in January, when during a visit with my mother in South Dakota, it became apparent that she would no longer be able to live alone. The first sorting of her life’s possessions began then, when we helped her to move into an assisted living community. Last summer my niece, Leslie, drove from the west coast and I from the east to meet at my mother’s home in the Black Hills. Our goal for that trip was to clear the main floor of the home my parents built 50 years ago. Leslie and I kept so busy in the brief time that we had together that we rarely took time to give voice to the memories we shared. Clearing the living areas last summer was relatively stark emotionally compared with the emptying of a bank of storage cabinets that I undertook during a return trip in December. In those cabinets were the archaeological stores of the generations: Mom’s sewing stuff -- thimbles and pins and needles, and fabrics! remnants of summer dresses and winter jackets, silk of a wedding dress, satin from a prom; there were hundreds of family photos some of which dated back to the earliest days of photography, photos of ancestors, many unnamed and no longer remembered; and then of the generations I have known; reminders of trips taken, long drives across the country, first airplane flights, of oceans and mountains, of skies studded by storm clouds and those the shade of blue that only the sunshine of the high plains makes possible..
