		<description><![CDATA[One of the really cool things about refusing to cede priority to either Christianity or Buddhism in my heart is that I get to draw from both equally deeply. They are, of course, completely different in so many ways, but they do have interesting similarities. For me, though, what&#8217;s of a lot of interest is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three interesting news items have arisen in the past couple of weeks or so, and they all sparked the same reaction in me. They are each different, but each raise some of the same issues. A scientist suggests that exploiting the oil reserves present in tar sands will make climate change unsolvable. Because we already [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Buddhist traditions focus a lot on training you to pay attention to what&#8217;s happening at this present moment. It&#8217;s a really important practice. Being able to be present in each moment to whatever is happening, whether it is your breath sitting, or being with a loved one, or working, or whatever it is, is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really easy to get lost. Some unsatisfactory things in life creep up, and threaten to (or actually) upset the equanimity you feel like you&#8217;ve worked so hard to achieve. Maybe it&#8217;s a job you don&#8217;t like, or your insomnia, or trouble with someone close to you, your loneliness, or the world&#8217;s troubles on your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was surprised, then unsurprised, when Bradley Manning was first invited to be a Grand Marshal at SF pride, then had that invitation rescinded.  If you don&#8217;t know, Bradley Manning has become a cause celebre for those who champion full transparency in government. I&#8217;m not going to go into speculation about what happened at SF [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are reminded, sometimes all too often, of the brutality in the world. Sometimes, that brutality hits close to home, and other times, it is far distant, out of our sight. Having to acknowledge, over and over (and over, and over) again that human beings can be brutal with one another is painful and difficult. [...]]]></description>

I have a passion for play of all kinds (not so much involving my body and mostly involving electronic equipment of some sort, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(This post was inspired by a Facebook conversation with my friend, the Rev. Ryan Dowell Baum, about this article.) There are some issues in our society that just won&#8217;t go away. Abortion is one of those issues. I was only 13 when Roe v. Wade was decided, and I didn&#8217;t really understand its implications until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of you know at least some pieces of my spiritual/religious history, but I&#8217;ll share it in a relatively short but pithy snippet: I was raised a frozen chosen, then was set on fire by people who wouldn&#8217;t dance. Afterwards, I threw out the baby with the bathwater, danced among trees, and walked on the path for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a real driver, even though I grew up in New York. I actually didn&#8217;t get my license until my mid-twenties, when I was in grad school in Cleveland, OH. I love to drive. I used to love to drive really long distances, like across the country, until I couldn&#8217;t anymore. I live now in [...]]]></description>
