		<title>Silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Silence
My silence bridges the gulf between my life&#8217;s success
     and my life&#8217;s failure.
My silence does not magnify my defects.
Nor does it connive at them.
My silence transforms my defects into strength indomitable.
My silence is a climbing flame that warms my world of despair.
My silence is my inner light.
No problem of mine [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vacation from my vacation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Came home from the wine country and San Francisco with wine, chocolates, a sore foot and knee from a trip on an unlighted stair, and an upper respiratory infection. So, sorry I&#8217;m not posting much but the Cipro is kicking my butt and I&#8217;m sleeping it off. More later&#8230;

Weekend in the wine country and then in San Francisco for the Game Developer&#8217;s Conference &#8212; probably won&#8217;t be posting til I get back to San Diego.

		<title>Morning Inspirations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If your spiritual aspirations produce socially beneficial qualities in you such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, then they can be considered something more that a mere psychological defense.  In contrast, if you are overcome by qualities such as impatience, distractibility, impulsiveness, demandingness, conflict, discord, and scorn for others, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decide to Network</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Decide to Network
Use every letter you write
Every conversation you have
Every meeting you attend
To express your fundamental beliefs and dreams
Affirm to others the vision of the world you want
Network through thought
Network through action
Network through love
Network through the spirit
You are the center of a network
You are the center of the world
You are a free, immensely powerful source
Of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Millions: In Our Parents’ Bookshelves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the Kindle you don’t know what the person next to you is reading, or how far along in it they are, or whether their copy of the book is dog-eared or brand new (because it’s neither).
One of the most prominent losses in this regard stands to be the loss of bookshelves.  A chief [...]]]></description>

(I blogged this three years ago, but Rambling Taoist is posting on this book today, so thought I would repost this here).
Wellspring of energy
Rises in the body&#8217;s core
Tap it and be sustained.
Channel it, and it will speak.
The source of all power is within yourself. Although external circumstances may occasionally hamper you, true movement comes solely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get it done already!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching the healthcare summit this morning, and observing how calmly Obama handles the Republicans. I sure couldn&#8217;t do it. I yell at them just listening to them, they are so inane. Same talking points over and over, and it is obvious they don&#8217;t really care about anyone. The Sunlight Foundation has been doing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Insurmountable opportunities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.&#8221; &#8212;  Walt Kelly, &#8220;Pogo&#8221;
“There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.” &#8212;  Kin Hubbard 
“Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren&#8217;t. But you can&#8217;t tell the difference when [...]]]></description>
