Fabric



Today's Bingo: Fabric. The universe is an expanding fabric of stars, stretching what is into what wasn't. Silk can make a fabric, and so can cotton. It is also connection. It is the system that holds everything together. Is the fabric of your life love or something far less powerful?

Set



Today's Bingo: Set. Imagine your life as a movie. What would the set look like? Your perfect home, your favorite coffee shop, the overlook where you said "I love you." The crews would work all day to make it just as you directed. What can you do right now to make the places you spend your time ready for ACTION?

Bend



Today's Bingo: Bend. Did you know that a tree in a bio dome is weaker than a lone tree on the prairie. Without wind, the bio tree has never been tested. The tree on the plain, vulnerable to the elements, is able to bend without breaking. The mindful person does not worry about trouble because you know you will not break.

Exquisite



Today's Bingo: Exquisite. The tired man sat down at the kitchen table and his shoulders slumped. After an impossible day, he did not know what to do next. His daughter placed a plate of dinner in front of him: Eggs--the only thing she knew how to make. He forced a fork full into his mouth. He was about to swallow, when he paused, and slowed his chewing. He suddenly became careful, and tasted every bit. It was perfect. He looked at his daughter, completely confused and grateful. "I picked some fresh herbs." She smiled. "Everything can be made better."

Dove



Today's Bingo: Dove. Peace. Flight. Knowing that there is nothing more important than to feel free enough to watch the sky and forget the earth. A child let's go of her balloon as the bird takes off and she looks up and claps her hands saying, "Fly, fly."

Professor



Today's Bingo: Professor. She walks in the door like a matador, and then spins around the room with learning. Wisdom is her red cape. We cheer, and laugh, and wait for the next move. When the arguments have been made--the dance nearly complete--we know what comes next: She must kill our ignorance. It is always with a question. This day: Who teaches you?

Sky



Today's Bingo: Sky. "Grandpa," the child asked. "Why is the sky blue?" "Molecules in the sky scatter sunlight." "No, silly," replied the child. "I wasn't asking you. I wanted to make sure you knew. It's blue because Mother Nature ran out of the other colors when she was painting the world."
