I don't known if that is the best title for this blog, but what I have to now is pretty good so...
I realized a few days ago that no matter how Americanized I get going through a public high school and all (that sounds really funny considering I AM American) I have had this sort of spiritual base directly from the age of 11 and really even younger then that, just not quite as directly (my mom took my family to this Buddhist place a couple times and had a few different gurus before Swamiji.) the way a house is built on a foundation my life is being built on spirituality rather then the many things most kid's lives are built on today (friends, TV, animals) the reason a realized this is on Friday one of my friends had a surprise birthday and right before I left I realized I had not gotten her a gift. So I grabbed the first thing I could think a five sided rudraksha bead about 1 inch in diameter. I threaded it onto a string and gave it to her (and she really liked it, I think) but what I wanted to write about was how the first that came to my mind put of all the things in the world was a rudraksha bead. I mean that's what Shiva wears and this girl is definitely not Hindu. So I wanted to share that, please comment!!
