Rumi and Violet – sounds like a match!! 🙂
OMG – I listen to Long Time Sun every night while I take my sacred bath…. totally brainwashed by her music… She has the voice of an angel. Have a few albums ~ make the whole family listen too and girls have resorted to Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo as a mantra. Too funny – Goodnight Sam — Love your Sea Sister!!

Swami Chinmaya’s quote is simple yet powerful! Having no expectations takes a huge load off our minds and makes us peaceful. I visited the Chinmaya ashram a place serene and calming! You may like to view http://dilipnaidu.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/a-serene-retreat/
Kind regards,
