Please visit my long-time friend, Forrest Cahoon, at his web site. He is a genius at many things...love of the Cosmos being the most important and pervasive (in my estimation)...but also in his abilities with respect to computer-generated graphic arts.
He came up with some of the background tiles used on my site (including this one) by way of his deep mathematical knowledge. You will find examples of his art, including MPGs, PNGs, GIFs, and even an MP3! He has the uncanny ability to marry his left and right brain; the resulting consecration is more than cool.
BTW, he was also the person who first pointed out that one of my favorite composers, Brian Eno, has a great palindromic surname.

A short Buddhist outlook on having a good life.... 1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 3. Follow the three Rs:
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. 6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take 8. Spend some time alone every day. 9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. 13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. 14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. 15. Be gentle with the earth. 16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. 17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. 18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. 19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. I also know that dreams really do come true and you have my Best Wishes and my best efforts in those. Regards, Dalai Lama |

When you were born, you didn't come with an owner's manual; these guidelines make life work better. |
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life. Besides you chose the body you have so there's really no reason to hate it. Instead learn to love it, you can always mold it into something that suits you better. |
| 2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher. |
| 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success." |
| 4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it -- then you can go on to the next lesson. |
| 5. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention. |
| 6. You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing. |
| 7. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here." |
| 8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself. |
| 9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life -- or someone else will. |
| 10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract -- therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students. |
| 11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best, and have fun doing it. |
| 12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust. |
| 13. You will forget all this. |
| 14. You can remember any time you wish. |
