Zen saying

Plato
Ain't no easy way out

Money can't buy happiness, but neither can poverty.
Leo Rosten
The Void is not of the nature of a black abyss or a bottomless pit. Rather is its nature 'vast and expansive like space itself'.
It is apprehended as 'serene, marvelous, all-pure, brilliant and all-inclusive'. Above all does it partake of the nature of light. And it is not anything. For Void is Mind Itself, and Mind Itself is Void. Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei
The Buddha
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Good blogs and spaces

Earth Day Network

Global Fund for Women
awareness of women's issues, worldwide
Cult of Frog
Mark in Bahrain, who plays with the Dixielanders
Forsoothsayer
A 23 year old Egyptian Christian woman in Cairo describes her life and the sexual harrassment she gets from Egyptian men because she is Christian and does not wear the veil. Mind you, I think that many would harrass any woman who moved freely in public
The Religious Policeman
A UK and US educated Saudi analyses his country and society speaking out against both the royal and the religious establishment in Saudi Arabia. Enlightening reading.
