Happy birthday, Daz!

Thanks Gidon.

Quote of the Day:

“I’m all for mystery. I think it’s going to be a very dull world when there’s no more mystery at all.”

~ Peter Matthiessen

  1. Re Vale Peter Matthiessen
    Peter was my uncle on my father’s side. I live in the UK and in 2009, when we visited New York, we were invited to his wonderful Long Island home and spent a very pleasant day with him and his wife (my auntie Maria). I feel privileged to have had dinner with them. The man was, and is, a legend!

    1. Condolences
      Condolences to your family, Douglas. He was — is — a remarkable man. I changed the Quote of the Day as philosophically, Peter is on song with many of us here at the Grail. I also love this quote from The Inner Journey: Views from Native Traditions:

      “There are channels of communication, ways of seeing, for which our very limited idea of reality has no vocabulary, and there is nothing ‘supernatural’ about these channels; they are natural attributes of mind that can be reopened through yoga or zen meditation training, or by the Eskimo technique of carving big circles of soft stone, or by the dances of the Bushman and the Dervish and the Pueblo, which oblitirates the structures of the intellect, allowing what an Indian has called ‘the big heart powers’ to rush in.” ~ Peter Matthiessen.
