		<title>July on the Palouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From WoodenZen Mary with our CSA for the week. Is it great having farmers working for us producing such superior produce, or what. Russell and Kelly do such a great job and it brings so much joy and happiness in our lives. This time has been really uplifting to both me and Mary as we [...]]]></description>

		<title>My small life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My heart is heavy and my life seems small. Egypt is in transition and my hopes for her are that her people gain creativity and community. The world is changing and with it comes opportunity. I’m currently reading Dogen&#8217;s Manuals of Zen Meditation by Carl Bielefeldt &#8211; 1988. Dogen was a 13th century Japanese Zen [...]]]></description>

		<title>“Nonsense on Stilts, How to Tell Science from Bunk” by Massimo Pigliucci</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finished plowing through (enjoying) “Nonsense on Stilts, How to Tell Science from Bunk” by Massimo Pigliucci. My pleasure at reading this is multilayer. The one layer I want to talk about is Professor Pigliucci’s unwitting penchant for sending me (and I suspect others) to the dictionary. Mind you I’m not complaining, on the contrary [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jan 1, 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My poor, long neglected blog. Over the last several months, my web activities have been more and more divided among various social media sites and definitely has leaned more towards consumption instead of creation. I&#8217;ve been feeding on the contributions of others without doing my fair share. Seeing Richard Querin&#8217;s new theme and blog reset [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robert Aitken (1917-2010)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A gentle reminder just how precious this life is. Robert Aitken was my teacher&#8217;s teacher. He died yesterday. He had been in poor health for a while. That does not make it any easier for his family and those close to him. I never met him but through his writings and the stories my teacher [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zen is Everyday Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before taking up Zen, everyday life is just how life is lived. When you start to practice Zen, everyday life becomes a mystery, a thing unto itself. After ‘practicing Zen’ everyday life again is just how life is lived. During the summer months my practice community is dispersed and we are involved in many family [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wooden Spoons &amp; Zen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This space is making a change. A couple of weeks ago, I took a spoon makers vacation. I was lucky to spend most of week with one of the best spoon makers in America and a great teacher, Barry Gordon. We worked in his shop and talk about design, technique and materials. Here Barry is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Human Spirit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are on page 192. Today&#8217;s miniature teaches about how &#8220;there is always a bigger flea.&#8221; To make his point, Aitken uses a pair of writers, Robert Louis Stevens and Leo Tolstoy, and a pair of short stories, &#8220;The Touchstone&#8221; and &#8220;How Much Land Does a Man Need?&#8221;. Having not read either, I can not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trick or Treat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today we get a history lesson. &#8220;All Souls&#8217; Eve&#8221; has its origins in ancient Europe. Culture to culture, eventually to England where &#8220;good-hearted celebrators dressed as ghouls or ghosts went &#8220;a-souling&#8221; door to door&#8230; to beg food for the poor.&#8221; Sadly, yet another communal celebration bastardized by capitalism.]]></description>
