We have forgotten to enjoy and live with Nature.
To calm one, what one needs to do is
Look at Sky
Watch the Waves breaking
Watch an Elephant moving its legs rhythmically
Watch a Baby Smile.
Now hear the Sounds of Nature.

Expressing oneself relieves tension even if there is none to hear : but one has to ensure Anonymity.
Some times Confessions are not safe with the Church.
A unique project by an artist in Vegas allows people to Confess anonymously and they are displayed.
‘Confessions’, a public art project by american artist Candy Chang, invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip. Chang lived in Las Vegas for a month and turned her P3 Studio gallery into a contemplative place for people to share their confessions and being fascinated by the secrets others hide inside themselves. Inspired by Post Secret, Shinto shrine prayer walls, and Catholicism, people could write and submit their confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths.
By the end of the exhibition, over 1500 confessions were displayed on the walls. It’s about sex, love, or fears of dying alone. By collecting the confessions of the hotel’s visitors, this project seeks to create a cathartic sanctuary for this temporary community and help us see we are not alone in our quirks, experiences, and struggles as we try to lead fulfilling lives.
Trained Dogs bring cheers to the gloom struck families of Newtown, Connecticut who are yet to come to terms with the loss of children in the Connecticut shooting.
Love knows no bounds especially if it is not vocalized.
‘Seeing the dogs led to some of the town’s children smiling for the first time since Friday’s murderous rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School, said Tim Hetzner of the Lutheran Church Charities
The dogs, mostly golden retrievers, “bring some relief” to children, and put “a smile on their face, kind of like a teddy bear, but a live one,” Hetzner told ABC News.
Hetzner, who has taken dogs to New York and New Jersey after superstorm Sandy hit in October and to Joplin, Mo., following a devastating tornado, said the animals are “like a counselor” meting out ”trusting unconditional love.”
Hetzner says his organization begins training dogs as puppies when they are about five and half weeks old. It takes a year to train the dogs, making them calm enough to work with the public in post-disaster situations.
Some of the dogs were stationed outside an interfaith memorial service on Sunday night, at which President Obama spoke, eulogizing the 20 children and seven adults killed in a massacre executed by Adam Lanza, 20 last Friday.

True, world’s Best Beer is produced by the Monks in Belgium and sold at the abbey of Saint Sixtus in the Belgian countryside. The beer can usually only be purchased by reservation at the abbey — and reservations are extremely hard to come by.
What a Catholic way of Living!
Story:
Beer aficionados are pouncing at the rare opportunity to buy one of the world’s most elusive and revered beers for the first — and perhaps only — time in the United States…
It is called Westvleteren XII, and it is often hailed as the “world’s best beer” by reviewers and fans.
Westvleteren XII is produced by Trappist monks in Belgium and sold at the abbey of Saint Sixtus in the Belgian countryside. The beer can usually only be purchased by reservation at the abbey — and reservations are extremely hard to come by.
But when the abbey found itself hurting for money for an expensive renovation, the monks reluctantly made the decision to sell the beer outside of the walls of the monastery on a one-time-only basis.
“I think it will be the last [time],” Westvleteren Brewery spokesman Mark Bode told NPR. “They say, ‘We are monks, we don’t want to be too commercial. We needed some money to help us buy the new abbey and that’s it,’ Back to normal again.”
Beginning today, limited quantities of the beer are being sold in the U.S. and abroad. A number of stores have been sent “bricks” of the beer, which include six bottles and two glasses from the monastery. The gift box retails for $84.99.
“The phone has been ringing off the hook,” Megan McBrayer, manager at New York City’s Beer Table Pantry, told ABCNews.com. She said the store received 24 cases of the beer and has already sold many of them.
