The igniting moment...

By Vichara


There is a still point that can be reached. But actually when you reach it, it becomes the complete opposite. It becomes the flash point of change. As the culmination of ideas, thoughts, passions and epiphanies reach the plateau of realization and one assumes a quiet release you will experience the igniting moment of change. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines for the day!

Did you know?
"Litany" came to English through Anglo-French and Late Latin, and ultimately from the Greek word "litaneia," meaning "entreaty." A "litany" refers literally to a type of prayer in which a series of lines are spoken alternately by a leader and a congregation. Recent decades have seen the development of three figurative senses. The chant-like quality of a literal litany led to the "repetitive chant" sense. Next, the repetitious nature of the original litany led to the "lengthy recitation" sense. Finally, the “lengthy recitation” sense led to the meaning “a sizable series or set.”
