thinking thursday.

October 22, 2009 in Uncategorized

Every Thursday, just a few links I've discovered, things I'm thinking about. And, of course, a link somewhere to a certain movie star just because.

(Where I can follow the serendipitous thread I followed to get there, I'll include a thanks to the person who surfaced it for me.)

mind :: my brain and yours

Doctors, patients, and mindfulness. (Thanks to Marilyn Maciel)

American literature, words without borders.

The N-word as seen by a child. (Thanks to Kim Joris)

body :: my place and yours

What do you think I fought for on Omaha Beach? (Thanks to Lynne Gillis)

Fellow inmates ease the pain of dying in jail. (Thanks to Joan Eisenstodt)

Is Buddhism good for your health?

soul :: my heart and yours

The danger of a single story. (Thanks to Sarah Morgan)

A little tiny happy eye break on a Thursday afternoon.

A final thought :: “All the lives we could live, all the people we will never know, never will be, they are everywhere. That is what the world is.” -Aleksander Hemon, The Lazarus Project

ease the pail of dying
good for your tooth
the dingle of a single story
a little tiny happy eye beak
