"…If you want to have more purity, you can do one spiritual exercise which is most effective. You all know the significance of Aum, the name of God. To start with, on Sunday you will repeat (chant) this sacred name of the Supreme one hundred times; Monday, two hundred; Tuesday, three hundred; Wednesday, four hundred; Thursday, five hundred; Friday, six hundred; Saturday, seven hundred. Then on the following Sunday you come down to six hundred; Monday, five hundred; and so on, to four hundred, three hundred, two hundred and one hundred. If you want to establish purity all around you, within and without, then this is the most effective exercise."Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007), from “Beyond Within: A Philosophy for the Inner Life” (1974), pg. 311

About
I (Am): a soulful smile... fire... a thought within the mind of God... aspiring, seeking Allah... frankincense, sage and patchouli... a strong embrace... AWAKENING beyond the boundaries of my ego... trying to limit my focus to living in the present moment... GRATEFUL for my life... now, accustomed to sleeping alone... not following the crowd... an intense gaze.... eternally curious… need to have dialogue to have access to the best parts of myself... especially attracted to men with feminine energy (of some kind, even to a slight degree in appearance)... find great beauty in many GENDER-FLUID individuals... BITE (so, use caution)... no joke... about the details... happiest when deliciously lost in listening to music... magnetic in social settings, but had developed a bad habit of self-isolating in recent years... MELTDOWN in crowded situations... move in my own time... always willing to be candid and direct, even when the truth may hurt... listening... learning... enjoy the wind.... analytical by nature... highly selective... edgy... abhor waiting... have NO patience for incompetence... used to believe in human loyalty... rarely feel sexual attraction... single, but not seeking romantic or sexual involvement... have an INFECTIOUS laugh... philosophical... a born communicator... a writer... sculpting images from words... a work-in-progress... always hot (give me air conditioning, autumn or winter, PLEASE)... a strategist... advocating for a better world... watching, always watching.
