Daily Meditation: Never Forget What You Can Do



We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these daily meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be part of bringing spirituality alive in your life.







Today's meditation features a poem by contemporary Palestinian-American writer Naomi Shihab Nye. The poem re-imagines what it means to be famous, focusing more on what a person can do than on any other superficial qualification.

Famous by Naomi Shihab Nye







The river is famous to the fish.







The loud voice is famous to silence,



which knew it would inherit the earth



before anybody said so.







The cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birds



watching him from the birdhouse.







The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek.







The idea you carry close to your bosom



is famous to your bosom.







The boot is famous to the earth,



more famous than the dress shoe,



which is famous only to floors.







The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it



and not at all famous to the one who is pictured.







I want to be famous to shuffling men



who smile while crossing streets,



sticky children in grocery lines,



famous as the one who smiled back.







I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous,



or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular,



but because it never forgot what it could do.

This 'Happy' Vine Compilation Shows You Can Do More Than Candy Crush With Your Phone



Rob Scallon has blessed the Internet with yet another awesome video ... and this time he got a little more creative.







The guitarist from Chicago used social media to his advantage, and put together the perfect "symphony" of Vines, featuring users of the app (including himself) singing Pharrell's "Happy."







"I discovered that one measure of "Happy" is exactly 6 seconds," Scallon wrote on YouTube after uploading his video on Monday. "So this happened."







His motto, according to YouTube, is "Wake up. Play guitar." We'd also like to add "create highly entertaining videos using technology in cool ways."
