It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly

I do like roses - but I think there are much more beautiful flowers out there to choose from. They are almost generic now (maybe I'm being unfair to the rose). I prefer a bunch of wildflowers - I love the unkemptness.
When one sees a stone, it cannot be called a vigraha, an image of the deity; and seeing a vigraha, it cannot be called a stone.
Where it is regarded as a focus for the presence of God, there He actually is.
Just as it is said that everything is God's own vigraha (image), it is only fitting that one should strive after the direct perception of this fact.
Stone-mindedness is foolishness
- the fact of God's immanence has not yet been grasped.
The delight in the things of this world, in sense objects, is fleeting indeed.
It does not last; it is impermanent.
But where God and God alone stands revealed, there is no such thing as impermanence.
Your attention is directed towards the world, not towards the Eternal; you are identified with that which is transient in constant flux.
What is revealed thereby?
The perishable.
In the perishable there is no Self-revelation. How can Reality, true Being, be in that?
For the destruction of destruction has not yet come about.
The perishable must perish.
