Affirmation: I realize that I am far more than my personality, my problems,
 or my dis-ease. The more I connect with this part of me, the more 
I can be free in every area of my life.

Word of the Day: fulminate (v):

1. to utter or send out with denunciation <fulminate a decree>

2. to send forth censures or invectives <fulminating against government regulators>

The Visions of Daquqi (3)

The caravans had no food, yet food was dropping
all about them. If someone had said,
Look, over here, they would have thought him insane.

How can this happen. Am I dreaming?
I walk up to the trees. I eat the fruit.
I may as well believe.

Then the seven trees become one and then seven again.
At every second they are both one and seven.
Then they are seven men seated in meditation
for the sake of the one reality.

I come closer and wave. They call,
O Daquqi, the glory and the crown.

How do they know my name?
They have never seen me until now.
Immediately they know my thought
and smile at each other.

Honored one, is this still hidden from you?
How can anything be hidden from one so dissolved in God?
I think inwardly, If this is the spirit-reality,
how is it we are speaking words and saying names?

Despite having been back from Australia/ New Zealand for over a week now, I am still sorely jet-lagged. I tried melatonin last night and that only made things worse: in addition to sleeping for about 7 hours last night, I slept for another 3 hours off and on during the day and didn't get any work done (which is making me feel even more anxious and overwhelmed about my MBA courses). Goal for tomorrow: no daytime napping. Even if that means resorting to caffeine this once.

Anyone have any tips for jet-lag?
