		<title>The Tao &#8211; Some Things Never Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The philosophy of Taoism is 2500 years old. Sounds like life really hasn&#8217;t changed as much as we might think it has.
&#8230;In harmony with the Tao,
the sky is clear and pure,
the earth is serene and whole,
the spirit is renewed with power,
streams are replenished,
the myriad creatures of the world flourish, living joyfully,
leaders are at peace and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Mental Map</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No one wants world hunger; no one wants global warming, no one wants the extinction of species. How is it that as a society we create conditions that we as individuals don&#8217;t want?

		<title>How to Be a Woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On May 9, 2008 Steve Pavlina wrote a blog entry entitled, &#8220;How to Be a Man.&#8221; He issued the challenge for someone to write &#8220;How to Be a Woman&#8221;. This is my response to that challenge.

		<title>As a Little Child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One day as I was doing some random surfing I came upon this blog entry by Hope:
Earlier this week, my seven year old was telling me why she sometimes has trouble falling asleep at night: &#8220;Sometimes I lay in my bed and just think about how amazing it is to be alive.&#8221;

		<title>A Note to Sam Harris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think you&#8217;re right: what the world needs is more love and curiosity. 
I watched a You Tube video where Sam Harris gives an interesting talk to the Atheist Alliance International conference.  I haven&#8217;t read his books. I&#8217;ve listened to talks by Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett but haven&#8217;t read their books either. I&#8217;m not all that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life Without Death</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every biological creature, every living thing that has ever existed eventually dies. It&#8217;s a fact of existence for all living entities of any size and shape.

		<title>A Zen Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. &#8220;Such bad luck,&#8221; they said sympathetically. &#8220;May be,&#8221; the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned bringing with it three other wild [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headlines Everywhere: Girls Love Pink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my local paper I came across an article from Reuters London reporting a new scientific study that showed: &#8221; Boys like blue, girls like pink and there isn&#8217;t much anybody can do about it, researchers said on Monday in one of the first studies to show scientifically that there are gender-based colour preferences.&#8221;

		<title>Elders of the Global Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[July 18, 2007 an event occurred for the first time in the existence of the human race and the media was incredibly indifferent.
The next day, the headline in the New York Times read: &#8220;Pull Out Bid Lost, Democrats Stop Debate on Iraq&#8220;; the Toronto Globe and Mail read: &#8220;Global Hunt Heightens for [Conrad] Black Assets&#8220;; [...]]]></description>
