“My Guru, Maharaj-ji, once told me, “Enjoy everything!” These days I try to simply love everything that comes my way, whether animate or inanimate, pleasant or painful. I hope you too can learn to absorb life’s ecstasies and distresses into your spiritual practice so they are just more grist for the mill.
Namaste, Ram Dass, Maui, 11 June 2012”
Photos ~ “George Washington's original gristmill was by no means an inferior performer. As he stated in 1785, "At present my Mill has the reputation of turning out superfine flour of the first quality; it commands a higher price in this country & the West Indies than any other...." Washington simply realized that the Evans improvements (to his gristmill) would enhance his production of flour and increase his mill's profitability.”
