Silence Is Everything
Back in the hippie days when Ram Dass was giving a farout lecture to a bunch of tripsters he happened to notice a woman wearing a hat with cherries and fruits around the brim…sturdy thick heeled shoes and a skirt and jacket. She appeared to be in her 70’s. She sat there crocheting and would nod to everything Ram Dass was saying and he was fascinated, wondering what she was doing in this crowd. At the end of the lecture he smiled to her and she approached the front and when she got up to Ram Dass she said, “That was just marvelous and I know exactly what you mean.” Ram Dass somewhat taken aback replied how do you know all that?” The lady leaned in close and rather conspiratorially she said, “I crochet.”

Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
