	"Through the door of meditation, the imprisoned Soul-Bird of Omnipresence was released. It spread its wings of joy and flew over infinite space, casting cool peace-shadows on unhappiness-scorched beings. Then the Bird of Heaven remembered its little cage of past habits, and folding its wings, lodged itself again behind the bars or earthliness......" Paramahansa Yogananda"

I really like it, my only suggestions is two lines: Four-posted sheets bleached free of wanting.

	“What keeps our faith cheerful is the extreme persistence of gentleness and humor. Gentleness is everywhere in daily life, a sign that faith rules through ordinary things: through cooking and small talk… storytelling and making love…through corn and flowers…music and books… raising kids- All the places where the gravy soaks in and grace shines through.” Garrison Keillor Humorist
