One thought
I woke up on this misty morning in Massachusetts thinking about changing my tagline. So far, it's been "one thought leads to the next" - at least I'd like to think so, somehow. But what is that somehow, that thread that ties these thoughts together?
Malidoma talks about the presence of the Spirit World in the reality of his village life in Burkina Faso. But aren't they just an anomaly, a throwback to a primitive past?
Well, if we look a bit indirectly into the crystal ball, perhaps we can discover Spirit speaking through the canvas of an artist or the lyrics of a pop song, through the thoughts and imagination of a friend, through the pulse of the living, breathing Earth.
Perhaps we can discover our own world of wonder.

Waddaya mean, subscribe?
RSS is a file format used for subscribing to messages, such as blog entries or news articles, which have been posted on some of your (hopefully) favorite web sites.
Instead of checking those sites every day, you can just check your feed reader.
Once you set up a link, it's like checking your email. Look for the 
(or XML) button, copy the link location, plug it into your reader, and the new messages appear in your inbox.
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free open-source email reader which also lets you receive RSS syndicated messages.
The Mozilla Firefox browser lets you view current headlines as "live bookmarks", using RSS. There are lots of other free news aggregators available too.
