I just can’t bring myself to clear this out of my google reader. He is missed.

I’m not sure how this blog site works or if anyone will read this. I am a friend of Goodfoot08. In case anyone is looking for him and reads this, he passed away in November, 2008. He was a good man.

Bill Warren, a long time friend of his.

That is a great interview. Spirituality and Religion are being separated these days. For the good, I think.

Your second great quote points to my one problem with Armstrong’s theory. She talks about seeking transcendence as common to all religions. Without thinking too hard on it, Taylor is more comfortable for me–looking for ___it___ by not looking beyond the action you do.

Thank you OI.

“If we long to see a miracle, we need to look no further than our daily activities. Any task performed with concentration and respect is a marvel to behold . . . Sitting, standing, lying down, and walking: these actions shared by everything that breathes proclaim our mutual interdependence-one upon the other and all upon the universe.”

J. A. Taylor, “Koans of Silence: The Teaching Not Taught,” Parabola, Summer 1999, vol. 24, no. 2, p. 10.

Oops. The Armstrong book is called “The Great Transformation.” The name of the article is “Going Beyond God.”

You and me both. You might be interested in a couple recent articles at Salon. One is a review of Karen Armstrong's book Going Beyond God and the other is an interview with Ken Wilber. Hmm...related posts. My wordpress setup seems to not include this.

I went into the Nader run in some depth over on my blog. He baffles me. A lifetime of good just to become a destructive force in the country. Pity.

I could suggest an alternate earworm but I don’t want to appear in your imagination as a two headed Sweeney Todd.

I do like the idea of admiring a diabolical song in the moonlight, though.

I am longing for spring, my ten-year-old Husky doesn’t relish the winters as he once did. He hid in his house last week when the snow came, and he rises slowly from the cold ground now.
