Quoth the Raven.....eat my shorts

So, I am wondering about favorite quotes. I have a few...

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
"An eye for an eye only makes the world blind"-Gandhi

"Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can change the world...indeed it is the only thing that ever has" -Margaret Meade

"Free you mind and your ass will follow..the Kingdom of Heaven is within." - George Clinton/Funkadelic

(a singing quote) "...ah bitter dregs.." -Mr. Spock

Gimmee feedback. Whom do you quote?

The Conference was a rousing success. It was smaller and more personal that it had been in years passed (so I'm told--before I stepped on board I'd no idea there was a Buddhist Conference in OKC!) I am hoping to start work on next years--anyone interested in helping at the Conference, or with any suggestions PLEASE let me know.

Tashi Delek!

I've been contemplating putting together a webpage to try and bring together all things Buddhist in Central Oklahoma. There is a wealth of stuff here in our little-Big city, but it is so scattered, its a bit difficult to find. As a full-time mother/graduate student and a part time Review Manager, my time is a bit limited, so it was posed to me to create a blog rather than a website...Easier to get together and add to. So I figured I'd give it a whirl.. Let me know what you think.

P.S. As I practice Tibetan Buddhism, the blog may appear biased, but I want to be all inclusive. As I learn more, I'll add more. I welcome input!
