Creating Sacred Space To Better Communicate With The Sacred In Your Life
This is another great podcast from Christina Pratt's on sacred space. One point I found really interesting was at about the 18 minute mark when she starts talking about belief structure and how people can struggle with a "Shamanic Worldview" split.

Altars can be indoors or outdoors, permanent or impermanent, portable or part of a place in nature. You can listen to it here. Download the MP3 file here. Sign up for the podcast on iTunes here.

Bicycling Quotes, Sayings about Bikes, Bicycles, Cyclists, Biking
Related Quotes Exercise Sports Nature Car-Free Walking The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets. ~Christopher Morley The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine. It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest incident of the nineteenth century.

27 Medicinal Plants Worth Your Garden Space
Playful as kids are, accidents happen. And the accident that befallen me at 7 years old was the feeling of the hot exhaust pipe of a motorcycle kissing the skin of my leg. Grandma was around and saw it. Immediately, she took out a knife and slice the thick lower part of the aloe vera plant by the garden and rubbed the exposed end on the burn.
