		<description><![CDATA[Beautiful. It&#039;s so tough to be a single parent and maintain a postiive relationship when the child bounces between two homes. Typically younger children are still very much attached to their mother. So kudos to you for showing your son love, dedication and conscious parenting. ~ Susan]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good points, Mom :)  I agree it is our responsibility to safeguard our children against dangers which they have not the capacity to foresee, particularly when they lack a full understanding of cause and effect (i.e. opening a car door on freeway may result in death).  In those cases it is our duty to prevent as much as we can foresee.  But what we must do is trust that our kids will not mess up their lives: that everything will be OK with life if they make mistakes.  In fact, we all become so much stronger and more wise through our mistakes that many times our preventing them of such experiences is tantamount to stealing from them.  So yeah...the line between when to protect and when to give space may be fine indeed, and dependent on individual circumstances.  My goal is not to instruct, or act like there is only one model, but to inspire other parents to think about their parenting in new ways.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a fine line because the people in life that you remember and respect in life had a firmer hand in what you did...in reality a parent can&#039;t always be a best friend! I see in the restaurant business children that rule their parents. But I totally get your point, place things at their level and then you are taking that risk and maybe that item wasn&#039;t worth tender feelings. Later in life you, as a parent, have frightmares and they only intensify through life and get more vivid! Such as you opening the door going down the freeway 80 mph by Kolob, that could of been quite tragic for me and I replay it over and over in my mind still.
A good example is my father and your grandfather whom you have great respect for, he could be quite stern but in the end you knew the extent that he would love and protect you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the sake of everyone without enough time to google some enlightment from my friend Rene, the above is translated at http://www.discoveryyoga.com/Gayatri%20Mantra.htm.

Let us honor the unity of Divine Spirit 
that pervades all realms of existance:
the earth, the atmosphere and the heavens.

May That most brilliant Divine Light 
protect us, sustain us
and illuminate our consciousness

that we might realize 
our inherent goodness, 
our inborn divinity 
and our unity with All That Is.

By this knowledge may our actions be inspired.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of changes in the world. Lots of lights turning on. 
With a kid coming, I ponder the world I&#039;m bringing her into.
Is it lofty to think that I can leave a better world than the one I came into?
My thoughts are turning activist, I&#039;ve been reading and writing more than usual...

A term I tried using in Afghanistan was &#039;tawhid&#039;, or unity. E pluribus unum. That applies to Americans, Muslims, and everything else. Nature should be the only threat that mankind has to face. Human beings can share and compete in more interesting ways than high tech man-hunting war. There are ways that the USA can maintain supremacy that will enrich humanity more than simply carpet bombing everything between Paris and the Pacific ocean. The suffering generated by the wars is likely to create a wave of violent intention, karma and kinetics, moving back over the oceans to the ones that allowed the first dominoes to fall.  It is a cycle. We eat nature, then aspects of nature we didn&#039;t previously understand (usually the result of our actions or inaction in the context of overconsumption) suddenly eat us.
The individual has to accept a path, hinge the self on a framework of peaceful practice.
As a conscious organization, the American government has to actively take steps to share the compassion, creativity, or simply the honest business of the American people by taking a stance that will ensure our continued existence (i.e. having more Americans doing small business worldwide, creating businesses at the most remote locations.  Not bombing these locations with XBox remote controlled flying robots. How about using them as long-range courier service instead?)
(nsfw) http://bit.ly/nsE7L8 (nsfw) Syria&#039;s stance on terrorism is important.
Many changes in the world demand immediate attention.

I gotta aHsan my Arabic. 
Sanskrit would be a nice one to learn too.
Om bhur bhuva svah
tat savitur varenyam 
bhargo o devasya dimahi
dhiyo yo naha prachodayat.]]></description>
