To fly...

By Vichara

At various points in the day, when things can get a bit crazy and frenetic we all must take a few minutes, step back and breathe. Get off the “ride” for a moment just to remind ourselves that this is just not some random roller coaster ride but we all have a purpose here. A wise man once said “We can never know what real joy is until the mind is still. Some people are simply picking up a few crumbs of pleasure and trying to convince themselves that it is joy. We are not here to walk about pecking at crumbs like pigeons. Our destiny is to fly. Not just a few, but everyone that has been born.” It doesn’t matter what age you are, find your wings.

"Epoch" comes to us, via Medieval Latin, from Greek "epochē," meaning "cessation" or "fixed point." "Epochē," in turn, comes from the Greek verb "epechein," meaning "to pause" or "to hold back." When "epoch" was first borrowed into English, it referred to the fixed point used to mark the beginning of a system of chronology. That sense is now obsolete, but today "epoch" is used in some fields (such as astronomy) with the meaning "an instant of time or a date selected as a point of reference." The "an event or a time that begins a new period or development" sense first appeared in print in the early 17th century, and "epoch" has been applied to defining moments or periods of time ever sin
