~ This photo is from a National Geographic story a couple of weeks ago about a new cave discovery in California's Sequoia National Park.~ We begin today with Deepak Chopra's Seven Practices for Peacemakers. Chopra has a lot to say about peace and its current lack in the world. Here are the seven practices, and he goes into detail in how to do them in the article:
Sunday: Being for Peace
Monday: Thinking for Peace
Tuesday: Feeling for Peace
Wednesday: Speaking for Peace
Thursday: Acting for Peace
Friday: Creating for Peace
Saturday: Sharing for Peace
~ There have been a few news items in the last couple of years about elephants getting unruly in parts of the African continent. A New York Times Magazine article details some of the alarmingly violent and abnormal behavior.
~ Brad at Hardcore Zen starts out a post by giving it this title: ZEN WRAPPED IN KARMA DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE , a line from some stupid commercial that I truly despise. The post gets better from there.
~ A couple of other linkfests:
* He's Just Had Coffee
* P2P Foundation
~ Steve Pavlina's Personal Development Blog takes a look at Soulful Relationships. WARNING: some of what he says comes from his reading of the Celestine Prophecy, one of the worst books in the history of the world -- but, hey, I'm a book snob.
~ Albert Klamts blog at Zaadz (he's German by the way) looks at Forbes Magazine naming Dr. Angela Merkel as #1 of Most powerful women in the world.
~ Outsider Kiran Desai wins the £50,000 Man Booker with The Inheritance of Loss, becoming the youngest woman to take the prize. (This is the British equivalent to a Pulitzer Prize -- it's a big deal).
~ Some health news:
* Rich and red, tomatoes may help cut your cancer risk
* Study links women's fashion sense to ovulation
* Fresh water? Not any more -- this is actually an environment story, but it will directly impact our health.
~ Finally, get hypnotized by this cool website.
That's a wrap.
