Boulder is about to get “f”ed. ~ Rob Jackson
by elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2013
Just past noon as the sun soared high I walked away from the Boulder Courthouse, addled with camera gear, feeling small as a gnat. Heck, the whole of Boulder was but a gnat under the commissioners’ gavel—the “f”word* had just been slammed down on us. *Heretoforth, all instances of the “f” word are in reference [...]

Yearning to Serve. ~ Erin Keeley Phillips
by Yoga Pod on Feb 7, 2013
To be able to teach, or rather, guide, from a place to allow for students to learn from their own interpretations, visions, creative impulses, is not an easy trick. It means that the entire school structure has to look different than a normal yoga school. There will be a lot of open-ended, student led discussion. There won’t necessarily be “right” answers, only full-spectrum education and answers that offer the probability of high levels of success. There will be no hierarchy of status, but instead, a round table of brilliant minds and hearts all working together.

Puny Pastor Prays for President?

Since my parents didn’t raise any dummies, I said yes. On Thursday night of last week, I was ushered through a cloth, air-conditioned corridor in that hot gym along with several other VIPs (including Senator Mark Udall, Rep. Jared Polis, and State Senator Michael Bennet). Polis warmed up the crowd, and before I knew it, a “voice of God” announcement rang out through the P.A. system saying, “And now, to give the prayer of invocation, Pastor Roger Wolsey”… I took a deep breath, walked onto a red-carpeted stage, and prayed before a crowd of 10,000 people (easily 8-9,000 more than I’ve ever spoken in front of before).
