The Comfort and Simplicity of Small Town Life
“I was raised in the city,” writes Jess Howard. “After all four of my children were born, I moved to the country seeking out a place where they could be kids for every possible second, where I could shelter them from the economic trappings of urban life and, in turn, I could see the world new and fresh again.”
This Curious Life: Physician, Writer and Explorer George Burden
By any measure, George Burden lives a remarkable life, experiencing the world in a way few people ever have.

He’s swam in all of the world’s oceans including the Antarctic and the Arctic and somehow he manages to practice medicine, raise a family and write both prolifically and well. What’s his secret?

If you’ve never heard of Red Green you may be missing one of the biggest laughs to come out of the wilds of Canada since…well…forever. This duct-tape packing man’s man is known for his down-to-the-dirt philosophy (“Keep your stick on the ice!”), his red and green suspenders and his ability to have grown men and women doubled over with laughter. Our writer Dan L. Hays tells about the time he joined the Red Green Fan Club and caught up with Red himself.
Thomas Merton – Sexuality and Spiritual Denial
I have always found the deep split between the spiritual and sexual in nearly all religions, including the Buddhism I practice, very troubling. While it’s possible to argue that Buddhism has less of this than Judeo-Christian traditions, I’m still convinced that there’s a gap in the teachings that has lead to an enormous amount of confusion, condemnation, and suffering.
