I mean, it’s true. You got this, and you probably didn’t even shave your head over it once. Keep on trucking and turn the beat around. You can do it.

The Internet & Alcohol – A Writer’s Challenge.

A clever reminder that challenges for those who attempt to translate experience to words have existed for the entirety of history. I wonder how Thoreau would’ve railed against twitter, though I know that Whitman would’ve been all over Instagram.

Hope From Pete Seeger

I really like the idea of lots of small leaders, giving the people what they need where they are.

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) Is So Wise.

Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam is a singer-songwriter who converted to Islam in the late 70’s and dedicated himself to philanthropic & educational efforts throughout the Muslim world.
