Today's Beautiful Gem: `Release into Light' by an anonymous author.

"Let us not cling to mourning,
  Do not stand on my grave and weep.
    I am not there
      I do not sleep.
      I am a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond glints on snow,
  I am the sunlight opened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

"When you awaken in the morning's hush
  I am the swift uplifting rush
  of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine in the night.

"Do not stand on my grave and cry.
  I am not there
    I did not die."

Om shaantih: Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao
