		<description><![CDATA[
Ease

Flow.  (Not to be confused with &#8220;Easy&#8221;.)

The packing from the last two weeks culminated in closing on our home and immediately making our move happen. It was not easy by any means, yet it was filled with ease and flow throughout:

My stepdaughter&#8217;s new bus stop is a block away and it turns out that she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Word (Phrase) of the Week 12/28/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Abundance
To have enough.  To feel like you have enough.
As people of many traditions revel in all kinds of new acquisitions of gifts this time of year, I was reminded about my intense belief in abundance as some kind of proactive verb.  Abundance, once Hanan stumbled into my life, became an almost obsession that I defined [...]]]></description>

		<title>Word (Phrase) of the Week 12/21/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Packing (&#38; Unpacking)

Filling up, adding on, placing in.  (Taking out, letting go, emptying.)
This time of year there is a lot of packing going on.  There is the packing of gifts for various spiritual and cultural (and in some respects, now, consumer) holidays.  There is the packing that people do when put their things together [...]]]></description>

		<title>Word (Phrase) of the Week 12/14/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Palms-Up
Placing the hands outwards with palms facing upwards.

The idea of holding ones palms up is not uncommon in many spiritual traditions, Eastern and Western.  Often in supplication to the &#8220;higher power&#8221; or Universal Mind, or as a symbol of letting go into either a spiritual or emotional experience, there is something to be said about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Facebook:
Total randomness at your fingertips
Connecting dots from all angles into shaped yet determined
Touching and being touched
And not -
Simultaneously
Yep.  Set up the Facebook page.   Yikes!

		<title>Wishing~</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hanan says:
Be careful what
You wish for…
God is already twirling around and
Through us as she
Dances her formless
All in and out
Of our sight, smell,
Taste and touch
Laughing a trail of planets and galaxies,
Rainbows and amoeba
In her wake.
Wishing only gives her
Incentive
To come up with
A more confounding riddle
To the answer we already know.
