		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, we are not just what we eat. What we eat transforms us. Our bodies, brains&#8211;our whole system&#8211;organizes around what we choose to consume. A recent study has shown that rats fed a steady diet of Ding Dongs develop classic addiction symptoms and behaviors. These include withdrawal and the willingness to endure hardship (repeated shocks) to [...]]]></description>

Z is for Zero, a Target for Waste. Robyn Hitchcock: You&#8217;re just trash&#8230;and you&#8217;re a loser. The only people that prosper (short term) from trash are waste removal companies. Eventually, we all lose. Take packaging: companies waste money and resources through packaging, we waste money to buy it and throw it away. Plastic packaging and waste [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Kiyomizudera they have chosen &#8220;shin&#8221; as the kanji most representative of the past year, 2009. Shin means &#8220;new&#8221;. The kanji &#8220;新米&#8221; means a new crop of rice, new growth and symbolizes a fresh beginning. It is easy and, perhaps, more comfortable to think of the last year as a year of loss.

V is for Vision and What We Can See. Perry Farrell: We saw shadows of the morning light, shadows of the evening sun, till the shadows and the light were one. We act within the limits of our vision: what we perceive. From attention emerges intention, intention framing and directing attention. From Council Crest, a mountain top [...]]]></description>

It begins with an awareness of breath. My breath, my wife&#8217;s breath, rain falling lightly in the fog outside the bedroom window. My son stirs, clambers down from his loft and crawls into our bed. Family, the three of us half-awake, half-asleep, still this early morning.
Memories of Thanksgivings past dance through the fog Douglass Fir [...]]]></description>
