This is inside of my rain barrel. It's a play on Gaia's Fountain of Life (I don't have the UV lights) but I do have the copper, vortex and magnets.

Fear is the beginning of bias. Wonder really is a better start; it inspires a more spiritual type of wisdom. While fear produces defensiveness and more fear, wonder inspires inquiry and excitement for that beautiful moment of discovery.

Fear uses the intellect to protect, dams and damns it. Wonder follows the heart to flow toward revelation.

Fear constricts both body and brain. Wonder makes wide the eyes to see and the mind open to understand.

Although, the recognition of fears we hold and the relinquishing of them leads to much growth, fear held fear stifles learning. Stymies maturity. Its implicit in every atrocity and explicitly void in love.

Perfect love casts out all fear. But don’t stop there because fear is still in the sentence.

Explore lovingly what is beautiful, intriguing and exciting with a deep sense of wonderment and a bold curiosity.

If one reads the original Ramayana without the influence of succeeding vernacular versions, which emerged at least several centuries later, Vanaras like Hanuman are referred to as a distinct species altogether. Like other human species, they speak fluently and they inhabit a distinctive culture.

Ramayana is perhaps the only literature to speak about a variety of human species offering to fill an important gap in human ancestry and evolution through literary support. Interestingly, the protagonist Lord Rama corresponds to the sapiens (Cro magnon), other ‘Vanaras’ loosely match Homo erectus.

Are these striking similarities mere coincidence? Or shouldn’t we take it more seriously?
