		<title>Our world, my dear&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Siam Paragon was what it was always &#8211; busy, transactional and filled with Thais and tourists alike. As I walked by the new Mos burger outlet, I saw people standing in small groups all staring at a spot in the pond of white furniture. A woman was standing and tightly hugging a man who was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sangham Sharanam Gacchami?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think i know what I want. I just don&#8217;t know if I have the will or the fortitude required. My desire to ordain as a monk has been strengthening over the last year and especially over the last six months.&#160;
I am reading Phra Farang, an English monk&#8217;s autobiographical account of his journey into Dhamma [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nobel winner blames cultural decline on &#8220;blogging and blugging&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Been reading about this all day:
Nobel winner blames cultural decline on &#8220;blogging and blugging&#8221;
Almost everybody has ripped into her. I am torn between laying into her myself and well, holding it inside. Hmm, that last sentence pretty much encapsulates my views I guess  .
Is it fair to expect Nobel prize winners to not be [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is terror?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[True absolute dark terror is having to live in a community, a society, a country or a world where religion or other social norms have devolved to the extent that the helpless are punished for being helpless &#8211; as it has in Saudi Arabia.
A country where a rape victim is jailed for 6 months and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Froglessness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are a Dhamma (Dharma) practitioner or even a Vipassana meditation practitioner, the meaning of froglessness will be evident.
When a frog is put
on the center of a plate,
she will jump out of the plate
after just a few seconds.
If you put the frog back again
on the center of the plate,
she will again jump out.
You have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coral &#8211; Derek Walcott</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
This coral&#8217;s shape echoes the hand
It hollowed. Its
Immediate absence is heavy. As pumice,
As your breast in my cupped palm.
Sea-cold, its nipple rasps like sand,
Its pores, like yours, shone with salt sweat.
Bodies in absence displace their weight,
And your smooth body, like none other,
Creates an exact absence like this stoneSet on a table with a whitening rack
Of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intimacy ~Rumi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A mouse and a frog meet every morning on the riverbank. 
They sit in a nook of the ground and talk.  
Each morning, the second they see each other, they open easily, telling stories and dreams and secrets, empty of any fear or suspicious holding back.  
To watch, and listen to those two [...]]]></description>
