It's interesting you chose that bush as it is magenta, the color of peace and serenity. I've been trying this week to repeat with Dan's (a Mindful Heart) video the expression of compassion statement. I understand that in Bombay and other large cities in India, you can hear a low chant all day long of everyone praying with their prayer beads. I would love to hear that someday.
