“Tread softly, and with Joy” (ancient Thai saying) ~ Ben Ralston
by Ben Ralston on Sep 30, 2011
It wasn’t just their gifts that made me uncomfortable. It was their generosity of spirit. They gave me some things, yes. But they gave me all of their attention. They were totally present. And I'd never met anyone before that wasn't in two places at once...814 views

Boulder’s Electricity Debate: Easy Enough for a Baby to Understand. ~ Ted Rose
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 30, 2011
After spending years working on clean energy across America, I have become active in a campaign in our own community, Boulder, Colorado. This current debate over Boulder’s energy future can seem complex, so I wondered how I would break it down for my nine-month-old son if he spoke his first words this morning and asked: “Dad, why do you care about this?” I’d probably say something like this…685 views

In which Rumi & I write ourselves melancholy birthday letters.
by JulieJCPeters on Sep 30, 2011
can't fathom being here in this world unless it's for a reason bigger than this hurt, broken, healing, beautiful, terrified body. So hitch me up on your bow, Something Bigger, help me out. I have been trying to do this all alone, and when I don't understand, I fall to pieces, I am making a mess. I am making a mess of love and destruction. Help.1,244 views

Why Are Yoga Peeps So Broke? ~ Sergio DiazGranados
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 30, 2011
I think most of us would agree that we don’t need a lot of money. In fact, most of my friends would say a solid $40,000 - $50,000 after taxes would be plenty to live a good life. Yet so many are barely getting by; so many wonderful people with amazing ideas and intentions barely have enough to eat, let alone fork over cash for a monthly yoga membership. I have a friend who will trade eating properly on a regular basis for taking yoga. Is this the way we should be living?599 views

Why I’m Not Doing Yoga, or…Why the Hell Am I Not Doing Yoga? ~ Alexa Maxwell
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 30, 2011
If yoga is as necessary to my life as the other things in it---such as eating, drinking, sleeping, breathing-- then I will find a way to do yoga even without a formal class.1,226 views

Andrew Cohen & Ken Wilber LIVE @ Boulder Integral Center October 9, 2011
by Andrew Cohen on Sep 30, 2011
On Sunday, October 9, Boulder Integral Center is proud to host Andrew Cohen and Ken Wilber, for their third live Guru and Pandit event. Using Cohen’s new book, Evolutionary Enlightenment: A New Path to Spiritual Awakening, as a starting point—a book that Wilber calls “one of the most significant books on spirituality written in the postmodern world”—these two mystical pathfinders will explore why only a profound integration of timeless Being and dynamic Becoming can offer a spiritual realization that makes sense of life in today’s rapidly changing world.310 views

Sleeping with anger: what happens when I take it to bed
by Nadine McNeil on Sep 30, 2011
Pre-dawn anger is the one I slept fitfully with and dragged into my sub-conscious. It catapulted me out of bed and had me in such a frenzied state that I was compelled to discharge its energy by engaging in some physical activity.1,802 views

Maybe the message is more important than the way it’s delivered. Maybe the intention is greater than the sum of its parts. Maybe it’s enough sometimes just to say, ‘This is all I have to give right now.”813 views

Day 1: The Junk Closet
by Marylee Fairbanks on Sep 30, 2011
Most people have a junk drawer. I have a junk closet. It’s the place I toss all the things that I can’t deal with, fix, figure out what to do with, or think I might need someday. I didn’t even like passing this closet because I’m sure I heard it whisper, “Deal with me”.1,092 views

Interview with Derrick Jensen: Staying Sane in Environmentalism. ~ Cayte Bosler
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 29, 2011
Where so many millions of bugs, foxes, bears, humans and powerful beasts have lain down on the earth and died, it will be hard to tell what was once bone, from the scraps of our everyday. What does the awesome task of reconciling our minds, hearts and souls with what we have built mean for those of us still in love?825 views

The ethical choice is vegan.
by Gary Smith on Sep 29, 2011
All sentient beings feel pain. Meat, dairy and eggs come from sentient beings. Meat, dairy and eggs always cause pain. Humans do not have a biological need to eat meat, dairy and eggs. So, if you choose to eat meat, dairy and eggs, you are choosing to cause pain and to participate in exploitation and murder. Participating in pain and murder is always unethical. The ethical choice is vegan.4,191 views

The Devil in a Red Dress
by Hannah Siegle on Sep 29, 2011
A couple of weeks ago I found myself at the low dose of 37.5 mg, housed in a lovely peach-blue capsule. Getting off of this was to be my last step. I spent a week at this dose with no adverse affects, followed by a week of one-day-on, one-day-off. Aside from some fatigue I was still feeling pretty good even though this taper was faster than any doctor would have recommend. At this point I wanted to push to the finish, win the race to be free!602 views
