COFFEE BREAK 336

+ updated at 12:47pm ESDT on Wednesday, May 9, 2012

+ Truthout offers "The People's Bishop" by Chris Hedges.  Hedges challenges us Christians to emulate what this courageous Bishop did: Get arrested over and over again on behalf of the people and stop supporting the plutocrats.

+ Spirituality and Practice offers an excerpt from The Spiritual Activist: Practices to Transform Your Life, Your Work, and Your World by Claudia Horwitz.  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat say that she "blends contemplation and social action in an appealing way." Here is an excerpt from the excerpt: "A practice is simply a habit that gives us energy and reminds us of what matters most. Every moment in our lives is a chance to be present and to open our hearts. How do we take advantage of this? How do we live each moment to the fullest? One way is by taking concentrated time each day to notice the peaks and the valleys with a tender awareness and without added drama."
