		<title>What Does It Take &#8230; ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; for us to stop and enjoy life?
That&#8217;t the question from Soul Pancake this Sunday Morning when the weatherman says our early taste of Spring here in the NW may be sidetracked for a day or two of &#8220;November-like&#8221; weather, including a few snowflakes. Maybe that would be just fine:

		<title>Angry Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow. I’m starting to feel like the Editor of a very cool literary mag. Maybe Spouse and I will move to a loft in Greenwich Village and order in Chinese every night and I’ll wear chinos and shoes without socks when we go Off-Broadway.
Or, maybe I’ll quit daydreaming and publish yet another gorgeous piece of [...]]]></description>

The Fisher
Morning silence, kindled
By an eastern instant, hours past,
Pours through trees, through echoed
Stillnesses, and falls
A silent stream and long across the lake.
A boat appears; gently
Slaps the silence on its center course.
Then the quiet lifting
Of the oars; the rippling drip;
Flies [...]]]></description>

Read this timely wisdom from two human beings with a world-class track record for being kind and truthful in ways that would make Niels smile:

		<title>No More Taking Sides</title>

&#8230;

&#8230;
In case your eyes are like mine and can&#8217;t possible read the fine print:

Robi Damelin lost her son David to a Palestinian sniper. Ali Abu Awwad lost his older brother Yousef to an Israeli soldier. But, instead of clinging to traditional ideologies and turning their pain into more violence, they&#8217;ve decided to understand the other [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Carl Sagan Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8230;

&#8230;
When you think of Carl Sagan you don’t ordinarily think “Romance.” Well, think again. This NPR bit had me blinking back the you-know-whats while I drove to work this morning (hoping my early morning appointmentee wouldn’t think I’d lost a kitty or something.) I you-know-what at the drop of a hanky, but even you more [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Precept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8230;

&#8230;
Until the day when I outvote myself on the Board of Directors, Niels’ original two precepts will be like the Ten Commandments: Etched in Stone, Standing Alone.
“Be Truthful” and “Be Kind” cover all the bases, as far as I can see. The Head and The Heart. The Head works best on a diet of Truth [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living Vodou</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8230;

&#8230;

The word &#8220;Vodou&#8221; evokes images of sorcery and sticking pins into dolls. In fact, it&#8217;s a living tradition wherever Haitians are found based on ancestral religions in Africa. We walk through this mysterious tradition — one with dramatic rituals of trances and dreaming and of belief in spirits, who speak through human beings, with both [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Empathic Civilization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here’s something for those of you who have sufficient interest and attention span, not to mention spare time:
Author and futurist Jeremy Rifkin has written a book called The Empathic Civilization, in which he argues we are in the middle of a paradigm shift that is epochal.

The Emphatic Civilization is a fascinating book that boldly challenges [...]]]></description>
