The door is round and open.  Don't go back to sleep!"  ― Rumi

Dear friends,

I can think of no better way to kick-start the new year.

Please take time to celebrate the fact that you are alive ... Today ...  At this very moment.

The video is a wonderful overlay to his words of wisdom.

You are awake.  And you are alive!  Please smile, and just become present.  Become aware!

And then be joyful!  Namaste
