"Before I was born, I was. After I die, I will be. A timeless Being came from, and into, timeless Eternity. Time was formed, and time is dissolved, and I remain what I have always been, a Being with depths to which there is no beginning, and heights to which there is no end."
- Omkarananda
Elmo Miller was a shining example of selfless service to all of humanity. The little time I spent with him is clearly engrained in my mind's eye - a testament to his quiet leadership of his familly, and stewardship to all of us blessed enough to be in his presence.
