COFFEE BREAK 72

+ Spirituality and Practice offers An Excerpt from Losing Moses on the Freeway: The 10 Commandments in America by Chris Hedges. Here's an excerpt from the excerpt: "The commandments are one of the earliest attempts to lay down rules and guidelines to sustain community. The commandments include the most severe violations and moral dilemmas in human life, although these violations are often beyond the scope of the law. They were for the ancients, and are for us, the rules that, when honored, hold us together and when dishonored lead to alienation, discord and violence."
