Something to Give a Damn About

I ran across this image the other day... it got me thinking about my actions and what they say about me and my values. Am I in integrity? Are my words and actions congruent?

Poem

Hafiz is one of my favorites...

MANIC SCREAMING

We should make all spiritual talk
Simple today:

God is trying to sell you something,
But you don't want to buy.

That is what your suffering is:

Your fantastic haggling,
Your manic screaming over the price.

- Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky, I Heard God Laughing

Blog Meat

My favorite fitness writer, Lou Schuller, has an interesting bit in his blog:

* Scientists believe that Americans have screwed the pooch when it comes to our international reputation, primarily because of "a perceived high-level disdain for science." So there's a downside to promoting intelligent design and abstinence-only sex education while suppressing evidence of climate change? Damn! Who saw that coming?
