+ I am taking another internet course offered by Spirituality and Practice: Practicing Spirituality with Brother David Steindl-Rast. It is inspiring and illuminating. It's now in Day 10 of 40 but the lessons are relatively short. You can catch up. You can join in on the marvellous sharing in the forum at any time. You don't have to go back to the beginning. The cost is $29.95 and worth every penny. You would be helping to support the best website in the universe.
+ Democracy Now! offers an interview on the recent events in Tunisia. Blurb: "We speak with journalist Anthony Shadid, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, who is in Beirut where the government collapsed last week. Tunisia has 'electrified people across the Arab world,' Shadid says, 'mainly for that prospect of change, that change can actually occur in a lot of countries that seem almost ossified at this point."
+ The Spirituality and Practice Newsletter is always a good read. The current one is definitely a good read. It begins with the following Teaching Story: "There is a story about Achaan Cha, a famous meditation master in Northeast Thailand. He was accused by someone of having a lot of hatred. Achaan Cha replied, "That may be so, but I don't make any use of it." An answer like this comes from a deep understanding of one's own nature. It is a rare person who will not allow himself defiled thought, speech, or action." — from Be an Island by Ayya Khema
