Today's Beautiful Gem: `Therefore I Must Tell the Truth' by Torlino,
translated by Washington Matthews.

"I am ashamed before the earth:
I am ashamed before the heavens:
I am ashamed before the dawn:
I am ashamed before the evening twilight:
I am ashamed before the blue sky:
I am ashamed before the darkness:
I am ashamed before the sun.
I am ashamed before that standing within me which spekas with me.
Some of these things are always looking at me.
I am never out of sight.
Therefore I must tell the truth.
That is why I always tell the truth.
I hold my word tight to my breast."

Om s'aantih: Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao.
