		<title>February 3, 2012: World as . . . battleground?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slooowly reading Joanna Macy&#8217;s World as Lover, World as Self: Courage for Global Justice and Ecological Renewal. My glacial speed is partly because I never read books like this very fast (it takes me months to finish anything by Pema Chodron) but mostly because Macy&#8217;s so freakin&#8217; Right On! So still absorbing her analysis re [...]]]></description>

		<title>January 21, 2012: (Practice) Being Faithful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[Good thing my New Year's resolutions didn't include posting more blogs, huh! Or I'd be feeling really guilty about now.] Tomorrow afternoon, from 3 until 5, my husband and I are hosting a neighborhood coffee to talk about—well, the agenda is not the point.

		<title>January 2, 2012: Practice, practice, practice!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Year&#8217;s eve was mistily magical this year; streetlights, headlights, Christmas lights were surrounded by a glowing aura. Walking through Union Square that evening just as the last Market Basket customers exited the supermarket parking lot, my husband and I were approached by two men. One of them continued to walk in our direction, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>December 12, 2011: Still Glowing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember how utterly astonished you felt when you learned that the light from now-dead, far, far away stars still glowed? That&#8217;s the spirit of today&#8217;s posting: I&#8217;m feeling that glow from the deep-winter fires of ancient Ye Olde England—from the time when Anglo-Saxon was spoken (did you know that &#8220;wassail&#8221; is A-S for &#8220;be whole&#8221;?)

		<title>December 2, 2011: Seeing Stars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently someone asked me when I first sensed Something beyond myself (some people call that prickly feeling God). My answer? Looking up at the night sky when a kid.
