+ Spirituality and Practice offers some important statements by Gandhi on achieving the attitude and behavior of non-violence found in Mohandas Gandhi: Essential Writings by John Dear, a Jesuit Priest. Here is one of the quotes: "We should try to understand the psychology of evildoers. They are very often the victim of their circumstances. By patience and sympathy, we shall be able to win over at least some of them to the side of justice. Moreover, we should not forget that even evil is sustained through the cooperation, either willing or forced, of good people."
+ 4:22pm weather update: It's NOT snowing here. Here is Rochester.
+ The Abundancetrek Blog offers "Spiritually Literate Resolutions for 2010" with a link to some powerful and compassionate New Year's resolutions offered by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat. This wise and knowlegeable couple offer enormous resources for the journey of faith, hope and love in their 19,000+ web pages at Spirituality and Practice. The amazing website is always offering fantastic e-courses for reasonable fees. I have signed up for "Catalysts for Change" beginning tomorrow. Participants have begun to intoduce themselves and offer intentions.
+ I'm not sure if I have ever seen so many consecutive days when I could look out the window and almost always see snow falling. I belive it has been ten days now and counting. But only 2 or 3 of those days have seen much in the way of accumulation. Neverthless it adds up to about 18 inches in Whitesboro with very little melting going on.
+ Last night Mary and I enjoyed watching The Talent Given Us on The Sundance Channel. It's an Indy film written and directed and produced and cinemetographed (is that a word?) by Andrew Wagner with the rest of his family playing the leading roles. It can be described as a "comedy" but I think it is better described as a "meaning of life" film. All kinds of questions are pondered. It is definitely a film for adults asking deep questions and expecting few definitive answers.
