Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey this is extremely belated but worth it. A friend sent me a Jacquie Lawson Thanksgiving 'card'. The art is so sophistically crude I've been entranced by it's joyfulness and watched it a dozen times or so.

Unconditional Love Really Exists — by Ram Dass
Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not "I love you" for this or that reason, not "I love you if you love me." It's love for no reason, love without an object. It's just...

This is just a delightful article. I predict it will make you think and make you smile. Amy's use of the language is delicious. EARLY ON, there was no word for “groundhog.” Neither were there groundhogs, or grandmothers, or event coordinators. There were events but they were uncoordinated like the ...

If It Can Suffer, It's Real — by Yuval Noah Harari
Normally I don't post the punchline but in this case I'm giving you the conclusion because I was concerned that you might be put off by 'suffer'. Oh, and it isn't Buddhist. :bana: For me, maybe the most important question, both as a scientist and as a person, is how to distinguish between fiction a...

8 Viking-Style Churches to Visit — by Sarah Durn
For over 60 years I've been doing varieties of woodwork. In that light the most fascinating churches in that realm are the Stave Churches... a product of the Viking cultures.

Secret Kinship With The Other — by Richard Powers
Perhaps genes aren’t the only thing that we’ve been shaped to try and save. Maybe altruism evolves to recognize affinity, joint purpose, shared values. Maybe nothing elicits a sense of relatedness more deeply than feeling our dependence on other living things. A predator depends entirely on its pre...

The great angst of modern life is this: no matter how hard we try, no matter how successful we are, no matter how good a parent, worker, or spouse we are – it’s never enough. There is always someone richer, thinner, smarter, or more powerful, someone that makes us feel small in comparison. Failure ...

“Accepting what is” and trusting the Universe is an essential approach to life. But so is “fighting for change.” And if you want to be effective in business — and in relationships, too, for that matter — then you also need tenacity, focus, urgency, often combined with strategic planning and a drive...

Difference Between Healing and Curing — by Michael Lerner, PhD
In my thirty years of working with cancer patients, I've seen a profound distinction between curing and healing. Curing is what a physician seeks to offer you. Healing, however, comes from within us. It's what *we* bring to the table. Healing can be described as a physical, emotional, mental and sp...
