March, named for Mars, was the first month of the Greek and Roman calendar. Mars is god of war but also of fertile soil, equivalent to the Greek Ares and Tiu or Tiwazn an old sky god of Europe. He is also equated with the Celtic Teutates and the Norse Tyr. Mars' original name was Mavors. After Jupiter, he is the chief Roman god, often called Marspater, "Father Mars." He has three aspects, the martial god Gradivus, the rustic god Silvanus, and the patron of the Roman state Quirinus. The wolf and the woodpecker are his sacred animals.

March was called Mi an Mháárta or am Mart in Ireland, the seed time, and Hrethmonath, "Hertha's month," by the Anglo-Saxons, honoring the earth mother Hertha or Nerthus. The Frankish name for March was Lentzinmanoth, "renewal month." The Asatru call it Lenting.

The first Full Moon of this month is called the Worm or Sap Moon. It shares the names Storm Moon with February and Moon of Winds with April. It may also be referred to as the Moon of the Snowbird, the Crow Moon, and Lenting Moon.

Pisces and Aries hold power over March, the Zodiac turning to Aries around March 21st. The flower for those born in March is the daffodil and smaller jonquil. Bloodstone or jasper, or sometimes aquamarine, are the jewels for the month of March. Pisces birthstone is the amethyst, while diamond is the stone for Aries. Albite, amethyst, chrysoprase, fluorite, green tourmaline, labradorite, moonstone, and opal are other stones for Pisces, and Aries also lays claim to amethyst, carnelian, garnet, fire agate, pink tourmaline, and topaz.

Lunar Holy Days

Over several days preceding the Full Moon, the Hindu festival of Holi is held to celebrate the arrival of spring and the destruction of the demon Holika who was burned to death for devouring children.

Humor: The End is Near

A local priest and pastor stood by the side of the road holding a sign that said, "The End is near! Turn yourself around now before it's too late!" They planned to hold up the sign to each passing car.

The first man to pass yelled, "Why don’t you leave us alone you religious nuts!" as he sped by.

From around the curve they heard a giant splash. "Do you think," said the pastor to the priest, " that we should just put up a sign that says 'bridge out' instead?"

Article : Mandalas
From http://www.ibiblio.org/intergarden/alternative-healthcare/general/On.Making.Mandalas

Definition

Depending on whom you ask for a definition of mandalas, you get different answers. Some definitions are wide, others broad, and sometimes the intersection between these definitions is empty. For some people mandalas, and the making of them, is a highly formalized art, for others they are a means of self-expression. In eastern traditions mandalas are round or sometimes square and two-dimensional. Jungians usually see mandalas as round and two-dimensional. Visual objects to look at while meditating or praying have been used in other traditions too.

In this article I will use a functional definition of mandalas. In my opinion there are two basic uses for mandalas: they can be used as a focus for meditation or they can be used as a way of getting to know yourself better. In the first case the stress is on the use of the finished mandala, in the second the making of the mandala is the most important. Of course there's nothing to say against using a mandala made for self-exploration as an object for meditation, and vice verca, a mandala meditation can be a kind of self-exploration. This definition is a very broad one, it even includes some things which are generally not considered to be mandalas, which in this article doesn't really make any difference.

How to meditate with a mandala

There are two basic approaches to meditating with a visual object. One is to try and recreate the image in your "inner sight". This means that you look at the picture for a few moments, then you close your eyes and try to visualise it. When you loose the visualisation, you open your eyes again, and look at the picture, and so on. The other is to simply stare at the picture, without really noticing it. Some Zen students use one of the ten Ox Herding pictures in this way.

A third way to use a mandala is to look at it and let your thoughts wander around the subject of the mandala. This is a method popular in Western tradition. The Iron pentagram exercise in Starhawk's Spiral Dance is one example of this.

Mandala magick

If you stare at a picture for, say 15 minutes a day, the picture is obviously going to affect you in some way. You can consciously use that effect through carefully choosing your mandala. If you are involved in some project that you want to make absolutely sure that you "win" or you have a hard task ahead of you (final exams for instance) or simply a personal problem you want to alleviate, you can paint a mandala that will help you with that. To take some examples: A person involved in martial arts can use the symbol of her style as a mandala a few weeks before gradation. A person with a personal problem can paint a mandala that abstractly portrays herself without this problem or a mandala that represents the problem to allow her to focus on it.

Be sure not to choose a mandala that makes you feel guilty when looking at it, because it is likely to be counter-productive. If you feel guilty when looking at a mandala, switch to another, preferably one that has nothing at all to do with what you want to accomplish.

The mandala you use usually has a special significance for you. This makes it a potent tool. In times of stress, you can use it to find calm.

Whichever definition of mandalas you subscribe to, they're supposed to be good for you. Many people say that they feel better whether they use it for self-exploration or as an object for meditation. Many of these people imply that a circular design is particularly beneficial.

There is great variety of patterns to explore. For someone new to mandalas, it is probably best to choose something simple, and increase the complexity later on. Start out with a pattern that appeals to you. If you are new to mandala meditation, pick one picture, and stick with it for at least a week, or preferrably a month before giving up. It may take some time before you find a mandala that gives the effect you desire, but constantly switching won't speed up the process.

Of course, there are probably people for whom mandala meditation just isn't the right thing.

Suggestions for newbies:
* Three concentric circles
* A symmetric cross in a circle, or
* A square or a triangle in a circle.

Suggestions for intermediate students:
* A more complex geometric figure, maybe inside a circle or a square.
* A simple symbol of particular importance to your path (star of David, the monad, or a pentragram).
* A single letter from a special alphabet (ogham, runes, hebrew etc).
* The mandalas on the Major Arcana cards in the Jungian Tarot deck.

Suggestions for advanced students:
* A complex design of organic and/or geometric figures.
* A complex picture of particular importance to your pat (crucifixion scene, a tarot card, a Goddess).
* A word or sentence of particular importance to your path, maybe in a particularly meaningful alphabet.
* Three-dimensional objects. If you like to keep the circular nature of the mandala, a Japanese tea bowl may be appropriate, or a terrestrial globe. If not, candle flames and burning joss sticks are a fine tradition.

Suggestions for experimental students:
* A picture that moves, for instance a fractal computer program.
* Three-dimensional objects that move. A model of how the earth and the moon revolve around themselves, each other and the sun, a lava lamp or one of those battery driven "perpetuum mobile" toys that were so popular in the seventies.

Craft of the Week : Making your Mandalas Continued from the article

Colors

The colors you use in your mandala will affect you in different ways. The only way to find out exactly how, is to experiment. If you follow a specific tradition, there is often a color system within it that you can experiment with. You can also try making monochrome mandalas, or maybe black and white mandalas. There's no rule that says that you have to use only primal and secondary colors (red, blue, yellow and green, orange, purple) straight out of the tube. You can use pastel colors if you prefer, or maybe use a very dark color scheme.

Another question is the background color. Some say that the back- ground should be white, but I find that a sensibly chosen background color will often enhance the effect of the mandala. Try using a dark, dull tone of the complimentary color to the main field. The complimentary colors are green-red, blue-orange and purple-yellow.

Frame

You will probably need a frame to keep your mandala in. A frame protects the picture, and lets it stand up against something or hang on a wall. There are some things to think of when buying a frame.

* It shouldn't be too small. About 1'x1' is adequate.
* If you want to hang it on the wall, remember that you will take it down every time you change the mandala, so make sure the loop can take it. Don't buy a frame with a simple cutout cardboard loop.
* You will want to change the picture in the frame from time to time, so pick one that opens and closes easily.
* The frame shouldn't be too elaborate, as it shouldn't detract your attention. Something gilt with little putty in the corners is out, sorry. :)

One kind of frame that is recommendable from several aspects are the modern "clip" frames. These consist of one masonite board, one piece of glass and an appropriate (4-6 for this size) number of oddly shaped metal clips which keep the frame together and act as loops at the same time. This kind of frame shouldn't cost more than 5 USD for a 1'x1' frame.

An alternative is to laminate your pictures. The handy person can buy transparent self-adhesive plastic film at the stationer's. Take care when applying it to your pictures. Make sure the worksurface is free from hair and dirt particles, as the static electricity build-up in the plastic film will draw these to it. Start removing some of the protecting paper from one end, and gently firm the film to the mandala. Work from side to side, taking care not to create any air bubbles. An alternative is to get a printer to laminate the mandala for you in a lamination machine. This isn't very expensive, the crux is to find someone who does it on a professional basis.

Some techniques

Water-colors:

Water colors are a medium that many have tried in school. You can get very many different tones, and they are generally light resistant enough, even if you buy a cheap box for children. If you have a Chinese shop in your neighborhood, often they have cheap water-colors in tubes (Flying Eagle brand or Mary for instance) which are easy to blend on a water-color palette or a white plate. Art masking fluid can be very helpful, too.

If you are using translucent water-colors (which I recommend) the depth of color you can achieve depends to a large extent on the quality of the paper. The less glue there is on the surface, the more paint it can take up. Unfortunately, this quality doesn't come cheap. A good quality water-color paper sheet costs 2 USD or more. Buying them in blocks is usually even more expensive. Some brands to look out for are Hahnemuehle, Schoellershammer and Lessebo.

Many people have a problem with waiting long enough to let the paint dry. I find that if I walk out of the room and do something else a short while (play Tetris, put out food for the birds, cuddle with my SO etc) the paint has often dried when I come back, and it didn't take half as long, subjectively, as if I had stared at it while it was drying.

Some people also find it hard to paint even fields of color with water-colors, particularly so with transparent paint. This is how to do it: Hold the paper at a slight angle towards you. 15 degrees or so is appropriate. Blend all the paint you will need for the area to be painted. Start at the uppermost edge and make one horizontal stroke across the entire field. Of course the paint flows towards the downside of the stroke, forming a "long drop". The next stroke you make with the upper half of the brush covering the "long drop", and the other half on uncovered paper. Proceed like this all the time making even horizontal strokes along the "long drop" line and starting alternately from the left and the right. After the last stroke, hold the brush to a piece of paper tissue to suck up any excess paint, then lightly make one last stroke along the "long drop" preferably without touching the surface of the paper. This way the brush will suck up the last "long drop". Let the paper dry in the same position.

Never, ever go back with the brush on the wet or damp paint. If you think this sounds complicated, practice a few times on some scrap paper. If you want to make a graded field, you follow the same procedure but dilute the paint with more and more water all the time.

This is how I make my mandalas:
I draw the basic design on good quality watercolor paper. For this I use a cardboard circle and a ruler. The reason I use a cardboard circle instead of a pair of compasses is that the compasses make a small hole in the paper. That hole would later be very visible, because the paint is sucked into it.

Then I mask the lines with art masking fluid, and let that dry. Next I paint the background, and let it dry. Then I go on painting each field in turn, all the while making sure that the adjacent fields are thoroughly dry before I start. When I've painted all fields once, I decide if any field needs more color, and add that. After that I blend a slightly darker hue that I paint along the edges of each field. I grade it down towards the middle of the field. When every last stroke is dry, I remove the masking fluid with an eraser. Then I paint the lines with a dark-gray color. This will produce a stained glass effect that I am very fond of. Being very short-sighted, and always meditating without glasses, it's also an advantage that the design stands out so clearly.

Paper:

Paper can be had in many colors from the stationer's. There are glossy and non-glossy kinds, and many kinds of textures. It's quite easy to make simple geometric shapes. Just draw the design on the back of one paper, clip out, glue onto a sheet of another color, and voila'. There's generally no problem with light-resistance, unless you buy very cheap paper and keep it in a sunlit window.

Ink:

Ink is available in many colors nowadays, but most of them are quite fugitive. India ink (black) is always light-resistant, but fluid ink in fancy colors isn't recommendable. If in doubt, make a simple light-resistance test: Paint the ink on a scrap paper. Cover one half of it tightly, and put it in a sunlit window for a couple of weeks. Then check if there is any difference between the half that was covered and the uncovered half. India ink can be used together with common watercolors and even art masking fluid.

The colored Chinese ink sticks are quite appealing, but I've found it to be a chore to grind enough to cover an area of more than a few square inches.

Felt pen:

Simple felt pens in bright colors can be had for very little money in any supermarket. The light-resistance for these is often surprisingly good, but the colors tend to be less than tasteful. There are also more expensive felt pens of the kind of advertising firms use. These tend to be very fugitive, particularly the lighter colors. Highlight pens are even worse. Felt pens give a striped effect to pictures that I don't care very much for. Some people learn to control the stripiness, and use it to an advantage; others simply don't mind it. Just as with cutout paper, there's no way of mixing colors with felt pens.

Crayons:

These can also be bought very cheaply in supermarkets. Both their permanence and their better color range set them apart from felt pens. They don't give the stripy effect that is so typical for felt pens, either. Another advantage is that they can be blended.

Pastels:

There are two kinds of pastels, dry pastels and oil pastels. Neither of them are easy to handle, but they have a flexibility and a luminous quality that sets them apart from wax crayons.

Dry pastells feel almost like chalk when you touch them, and they give off paint very easily. You need to use some kind of fixative to fix the paint to the paper, but even then the surface will still give off paint when you touch it. Buy fixative in a spray can unless you are used to a fixative mouth sprayer, because they're very hard to handle the first few times.

Paper for dry pastels should have a texture that resembles velvet to collect as much paint as possible. A dry brush can be used to blend strokes of different colours and give a smoother appearance.

Oil pastells are somewhat easier to handle, but they also stain very easily.

Readymades:

There is a host of readymade mandalas to be had from books, tarot decks and computer programs. They're often too complex to be used by complete newbies, but once you've used mandalas in your meditation for, say 6 months, you should be able to find appealing pictures in many places. Many pictures practically beg to be Xeroxed (or color copied and enlarged!).

Some more or less obvious suggestions: totem animal pictures in popular scientific books, a picture of a page in the Book of Kells from a history book, Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper from any art history book, calendar pictures, the output from Fractint, pictures taken by the Hubble telescope, illustrations or covers from books, for instance the illustrations in Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger etc. And, of course, your favorite bonsai tree.

Humor : You Can’t Take It With You

A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness was determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take it with you."

After much thought and consideration, the he finally figured out how to take at least some of his money with him when he died. He instructed his wife to go to the bank and withdraw enough money to fill two pillowcases. He then directed her to take the bags of money to the attic and leave them directly above his bed.

His plan:
When he passed away, he would reach out and grab the bags on his way to Heaven.

Several weeks after the funeral, the deceased lawyer's wife, up in the attic cleaning came upon the two forgotten pillowcases stuffed with cash. "Oh, that old fool," she exclaimed. "I knew he should have had me put the money in the basement."

Who's Who in World Mythology : Apsaras
For past articles and the bibliography, please go to the
Who's Who Archive.

In Vedic myths, the Apsaras are water nymphs of Swarga, the heaven of Indra. These nymphs correspond with the peris of the Persians and the houris of Islam. They are sometimes said to live in fig trees and banana plants and are associated with the Ganharvas, the heavenly choristers.

The Apsaras are beautiful, fairy-like beings who emerged from the churning ocean. When they first appeared, neither the gods nor the Asuras wished to marry them, so they belonged to everyone and were called the “Daughters of Joy.” It is said they are fond of dancing and bring good fortune to gamblers but can also cause insanity. They are also invoked at weddings for good fortune.

The Magi's Garden: Barberry

Barberry (Berberis aquifolium, B vulgaris)
For past featured foliage and the bibliography, please go to the
The Magi's Garden Archive.

Folk Names: Algerita, American Barberry, Blue Barberry, California Barberry, Creeping Barberry, Holly Grape, Mahonia, Mountain Grape, Mountain Holly, Oregon Grape, Oregon Grape Root, O Ti Toque, Rocky Mountain Grape, Trailing Grape; Bv Berberry, Berberis Dumetorum, European Barberry, Holy Thorn (Italy), Jaundice Berry, Pepperidge, Pepperidge Bush, Pipperidge Bush, Piprage, Sourberry, Sowberry, Wood-sour

Description: There are 175 species of deciduous shrub making up the Berberidaceae family. Many of these are used as ornamental plantings and for hedges. The Barberry is native to temperate zones and grows wild in the New England states and in the mountains of Pennsylvania and Virginia. Other better varieties include Nepal Barberry or Darlahad (B aristata) and Indian Barberry (B asiatica).

Berberis aquifolium prefers hard gravelly soil and may be found in the Northeastern states and sometimes in the rich soils of the western states. The root is yellow on the outside. The bark of the barberry is bitter, reddish when young and dirty gray as the bush matures. It will grow from three to eight feet. The leaves are obovate to oval with soft, bristly points. The primary leaves on the woody shoots are reduced to three-forked spines with an enlarged base, and the secondary leaves grow from the axils of these spines. The small, yellow flowers appear from April to June and hang from the branches in clusters. Bright red, oblong berries ripen from August to September with an agreeable acid taste. These should only be eaten when ripe. The fruit of some species grow so dark as to be dark blue or almost black.

Berberis vulgaris grows in thickets, pastures, and wet places. It is a European species but may also be found from Nova Scotia south to Delaware and Pennsylvania and west to Missouri, Minnesota, and Iowa. This deciduous shrub will grow up to ten feet. The leaves are oval to oblong and spiny toothed, pale green above, and grayish green below. The small, yellow flowers appear from May to June in drooping clusters. The clusters later produce oval, orange-red to scarlet-red fruits.

Effects: gentle
Planet: Mars
Element: Earth
Associated Deities:

Traditions:
The name, Holy Thorn, comes from a belief that it was one of the woods used in the Crown of Thorns.

Magic:
The root is carried to attract money, financial security, and popularity. P> Known Combinations:
In Egypt, syrup of barberry and fennel seed was used against plagues.

Medical Indications: (Caution: should not be used during pregnancy)
(Note: can be used in place of goldenseal for some purposes)
Parts Used: root (gathered in Spring and Fall), ripe berry, bark
Barberry decreases the heart rate, slows breathing, purifies the blood and cleanses liver, reduces bronchial constriction and stimulates movement. Topically, it will kill bacteria on the skin and is good for many skin conditions, acne to psoriasis.
Without ready access to modern medicine, the root of B Aquifolium may be chewed and spit on injuries and wounds to reduce the risk of infection. Tea from the root is a blood tonic, cough medicine, and stimulates the kidneys. A decoction may be made for heartburn, rheumatism, and consumption. The bark and roots are effective for stomach problems and hemorrhages.
The root of B vulgaris is hepatic, laxative, antibacterial, and antiseptic, while the berries have a laxative and refrigerant effect. The root bark contains alkaloid that promotes bile secretion and helps liver ailments. It dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. A teaspoon of root or infusion of berries in wine purges the bowels, and a decoction of berries or root may be used as a mouthwash, a gargle for mouth and throat irritations, and eye drops for blood shot eyes. The fresh juice of berries strengthens the gums and relieves pyorrhea when brushed onto or directly applied to the gums.

Nutrition:
Barberry is found mainly in the wild. Efforts have been made to eradicate the shrub due to the fact that it plays host to one phase of wheat rust. The berries are comparable to cranberry in taste, and they may be used similarly in cooking. The fruit of barberry is used for jelly, cooked fruit, and cold drinks. They are rich in pectin and so are easily transformed into jellies. The fruit may also be dried like raisins. Hikers may chew the young leaves, and they may be added to salads or to season meat.

Mercantile Uses:
The flowers of barberry are a favorite among insects. While they will attract bees, they will also attract other insects as well.
The yellow wood is sometimes used for jewelry (especially by Spanish Americans who used it for crucifixes The leaves make a black dye combined with copperas, and the roots are boiled in lye for yellow dye. This yellow dye was important for baskets, buckskins, and fabrics among the Native Americans, and is used in Poland as well. With alum, the inner bark of the twigs is suitable for use with linen. The twigs and young leaves make a red-yellow color.

Poem : Once More, Once More
Velemir Khlebnikov (1885-1992)

Once more, once more
I am your
Star.
Woe to the sailor who mistakes
The angle between boat
And star:
He will smash against stones
And hidden shoals.
And woe to you who mistook
The angle from your heart to me:
You will smash against stones
And the stones will laugh
Down on you,
As you laughed
Down at me.

Quote : John Maynard Keynes
The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones.

Humor : Isn’t that Wonderful?

Mrs. O'Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin, and coming in the opposite direction was Father Rafferty. “Hello,” said the Father, “and how are you Mrs. O'Donovan? Didn't I marry you two years ago?”

She replied, “That you did, Father.”

The priest asked, “And are there any little ones yet?”

“No, not yet Father,” said she.

“Well, now, I'm going to Rome next week, and I'll light a candle for you.”

“Thank you, Father.” And away she went.

A few years later they met again. “Well, now, Mrs. O'Donovan,” said the Father, “how are you?”

Oh, very well,” said she.

“And tell me,” he said, “Have you any little ones yet?”

“Oh yes, Father. I've had three sets of twins, and four singles -- ten in all.” “Now isn't that wonderful,” he said. “And how is your lovely husband?”

“Oh,” she said, “he's gone to Rome to blow out the damn candle!”

A Dreamer's Guide : Hoarse to Honey

For past articles and the bibliography, please go to the
Dreamer's Guide Archive.

Hoarseness due to a cold is a warning of trouble, and if others were hoarse because of a cold, the danger will come from love. A serious disaster is ahead if you were hoarse for any reason at all.

Awareness of any kind of Hoax is a warning that you will soon be called upon to explain some past action which you thought was unnoticed or forgotten.

If you spent time on some favorite Hobby, you will have joy without profit. A change in life is augured if others indulged in their hobbies. Financial gain is predicted if children were engaged in some hobby.

A game of Hockey promises success through your own diligence.

Seeing several shapes of Hoe indicates good hope for the future after a momentary annoyance. If you used a hoe, you will be competent, and if you used it in your garden, improvements will come soon. Use caution if someone attacked you with a hoe; your interests will be threatened by enemies.

Hogs are a sign of earnings. A clean hog means unusual success through your own competence, while a dirty one or one wallowing in mud is a symbol of some new and profitable business offer. A wild hog is a warning of malicious gossip from some jealous acquaintance, while a sow and her piglets are an indication of progress. Feeding your own hogs predicts an increase in your property. Prosperity will come if they are well fed, but if they are thin, children will vex you. You will receive an inheritance from a relative if you saw many hogs. There will be joy if you bought them, but your friends will hate you if you sold hogs. Avoid rivals if you saw anyone else with hogs. The sound of hogs squealing denotes unpleasant news from absent friends, resulting in disappointment.

You will be noted for your bravery if you had a firm Hold on something, but if you lost your grip, beware of gossip. You are too egotistical if you held the one you love in your arms, but holding children is a sign of happiness. Holding investments indicates intrigue.

You will go on a long trip if you dreamt of make any kind of Holes. Good times are approaching if you saw others making holes. You will come into contact with an undesirable person if you crept into a hole, and falling into one means illness. A hole in your clothes indicates improving luck in finances.

A dream of a Holiday means you will have to work hard to be productive.

You will have a long life if you picked Holly, but your success will be postponed if you were given any. Be wary of anger if you saw a bush or sprig, especially if it pricked you. Avoid becoming involved in some petty intrigue; it will only backfire on you.

Financial security is predicted by a dream of a Home. If it is your home, you will be happy with your family, but if it was someone else’s home, there is a lawsuit coming up. You will have an easy life if you dreamt of staying at home, but if people came to your home, you will have sorrow. Entering your home on a sunny day possibly means you will buy real estate, going upstairs in your home indicates the loss of a lover. If you visited an old home, you will have reason to rejoice, but if it was dilapidated, you may soon lose a relative.
Honor without joy is presaged by building a home, and if others were building a home, you will have much consolation. A small fortune will come your way if you dreamt of changing homes, and owning a new home augurs prosperity, especially for lovers. A corner home is especially fortuitous, as is receiving a home as a gift. If your home burned, you will have honor and dignity, and possibly an inheritance. If the smoke was especially dark, there will be a mystery. If you house shook, you will experience a small loss of money. Loss of property is foretold if your home was demolished.

A feeling of Homesickness indicates useful information from an absent friend.

Planning to commit a Homicide means you will live a long life. You will have security if others committed a murder, and you will avoid danger if your friends killed someone.

Be prepared to sit through a period of extended boredom if you dreamt of Hominy.

Financial gains are foretold by Homosexual people. If you met someone who was homosexual, you will recover lost money, but if you saw one arrested, you must control your passions.

Success in business is augured by Honey. If you ate any, you will have success in all your plans, and financial gain is promised if you receive honey as a gift. Prosperity is foretold if you made honey on a farm.

Quote : Anne Frank
Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
