  "Hey, Shelly. So I do believe in giving second chances. Depending on the situation, if someone does something really egregious, then no. But if someone does something, if there's a misunderstanding, a disagreement, something that we can work through, then yes, I'm willing to give a second chance. I do believe people should have a second chance. Especially like when I look at football and I see how some players didn't make it in the NFL, but."

  "But it's not a text where you got to read it and totally, you know, misconstrue it and what have you. But it's not a phone call. I'm not bothering you.

So, yes, I have rehearsed before making a phone call."

  "I'm not gonna say a whole lot or especially if I spoken to you a lot.

• July 27, 2025@arunanandarao | What is consciousness?

Buddhist, Hindu and Yogic texts describe consciousness as the very fabric of reality. Names like chit in Sanskrit or Isikli, Turkish for full of light. Now, before explaining further, I want to go poetically."

  "Let the mind churn, let the waves unfurl Let questions come and go Attend to, breathe, Return to heart Release, receive and flow when wounded by the scorpion of worry Monkey mind so wild and proud Remember even restless rivers find the sea in silent shroud no right, no wrong, just witnessing Alaipa Yudhe O heart, Alaipayudhe Let every trembling, every yearning be music for the soul Today so ends our song, Beloved wanderer Stillness waves within the wave Let Krishna's flute Let Buddha's silence guide your mind Be bold, be brave now coming back to the song again Kana My mind is all aflutter O Krishna, Listening to the joyous enchanting music of your flute my mind is all aflutter."
