Looking toward the New Year

As the new year approaches we might find ourselves making resolutions. If you do, then you might want to use this poem by Korean Buddhist poet Ko Un as inspiration:

 THE WIND
      Never beg the wind for mercy
      Tall wild lilies and such
      scented white lilies and such
      one day lilies and such
      once all your stems have snapped
      produce new buds. It is not too late.

Here is a website on neurotheology. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it is a new branch of science that explores the relationship between religious/spiritual practice and how it affects the human neurological system. This site is just one of many that are popping up. Just click on:
