:: C A T H E R I N E ::

You are Catherine Morland of Northanger Abbey! You love a good Gothic romance - so much, in fact, that you'll fool yourself into thinking you're living one! You are imaginative and naive, which is at once endearing and perplexing. perhaps your heart is TOO pure...but it is adventurous. After all, you love a trip to Bath or a stay at an ancient Abbey.

Daily Words of the Buddha
July 8, 2003


Make an island of yourself,
make yourself your refuge;
there is no other refuge.
Make truth your island,
make truth your refuge;
there is no other refuge.

Digha Nikaya, 16

REST HERE, by Arjuna Ardaugh

Relax back into who you really are.
You are Magnificence itself.

Let go of resistance to everything,
And what remains is the perfect flow
of effortless Life.

What you are unwilling to feel
Remains as tension,
Becomes a gnawing,
Grows into addiction.

Restore the capacity to feel fully,
To allow all experience without flinching,
And the addiction,
The gnawing,
The tension,
Dissolve.

Rest here and things are simple.

You are the heart of the city, yet you never take
the glory for yourself. You work overtime to
get the job done fast and efficiently. You take
pride in knowing the city just wouldnt work if
you were out of service.
