The Yoga of Charlotte’s Web. ~ Nina Hayes
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 13, 2012
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.137 views

To My Old Master.
by Colin Wiseman on Feb 6, 2012
But from the irony in the letter, I can take from this is that no matter what, this guy was strong, and he did everything to provide for his family. And when it came to make a choice he was strong enough to take the correct one. Don't give in to bullies. A very good lesson for us all, no?417 views

Creating a better economic future for all: The Economics of Happiness conference.
by Jill Barth on Jan 24, 2012
Increasingly, we know what we’re against. It’s now time to decide what we’re for. And how to get from here to there.
