this will be short, current, and i hope beautiful
i was shopping for books today, just as an "oh by the way" cause i happened to be at an outlet mall in troutdale, OR, and there's a discount book store there.
i was looking for a few books on islam and anything by mehar baba.
they didn't have anything on my "pre-approved" intro to islam book list, and nothing by mehar baba... but i picked up these 3 books instead...
book of joy, buddhist scriptures, essence of vedanta
i started with the book of joy...
it's about His Holiness the Dalai Lama, ArchBishop Desmond Tutu. 2 friends, 2 exiles. the book is written by Douglas Abrams.
in the introduction, page x. i discovered a tiny channukah present for me. may i share it with you? pretty please?

Every day is a new opportunity to begin again. Every day is your birthday. May this book be a blessing for all sentient beings, for all of God's children --- including you.

happy channukah,
