Your life is an expression of Being, and the highest action you can take is to give yourself to Being.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23681054-114424784210549960?l=icehydrants.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://icehydrants.blogspot.com/feeds/114424784210549960/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23681054&amp;postID=114424784210549960' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23681054/posts/default/114424784210549960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23681054/posts/default/114424784210549960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://icehydrants.blogspot.com/2006/04/diamond-heart-flame-of-search.html' title='Diamond Heart: The Flame of the Search'/><author><name>Daisy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00151689729555956103</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://spot.colorado.edu/~sniderc/photos/giffordFerry.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681054.post-114373681949402441</id><published>2006-03-30T08:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-06-02T09:12:23.156-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mandala 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2237/579/1600/mandala1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;
