		<title>of delusions and compulsions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has a post on his blog tilted Crazy or Disciplined?. I find it as relevant to writers as it is for cartoonists. Here is a quote from it which I love.

		<title>tchestita Baba Marta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, with Canada winning gold at the hockey game the city was thrown into a celebration I could hear coming from all directions. People cheering, drumming, cars honking, even just going to the grocery store you are greeted with I love you. The energy is contagious.

		<description><![CDATA[With the second week of the Olympics coming to a close we have had fireworks every night of the past two weeks. Just across the water here. Pretty much above our heads.

		<title>a new kind of knowing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In his article The Future of Poverty Vinay Gupta says: 
&#8220;The world is too big for us to fit inside of our heads. Too much area, too much landmass, too many people, too many kinds of things, too much detail and complexity in how those things work. There is no possibility of a human overview [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;the new poetry&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read an article on poetry from almost a century ago, titled: Is there a national spirit in &#8220;The New Poetry&#8221; of America? by Amy Lowell.
You can find it in The CraftsmanVolume xxx,number 4, from July 1916. 
It feels spooky and ghostly to be reading about poetry from so long ago in something as fleeting as [...]]]></description>

		<title>from refrain to decline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vancouver&#8217;s own Poet Laureate, Brad Cran, speaks up as to why he has declined to participate in the Olympic Celebrations. (via Rob Taylor&#8217;s blog) This gives me some pride to live in Vancouver at this moment.

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, that is what Hugh MacLeod says in his Ignore Everybody And 39 Other Keys to Creativity book.

		<title>writing: a way: of being:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know I have been hard at work on the recently completed manuscript. Jumped right into writing again for another deadline, and this week when I launched into the collaboration on a paper between poetry and philosophy my mind told me: That&#8217;s it.
