		<title>dust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a shaky but determined policy toward cleaning. I begrudgingly devote small pockets of time, throughout the week, to keeping disorder and dirt at bay. The results are a long way short of spotless. I can see how I could spend several hours a day tidying and polishing, but I refuse. The fact being [...]]]></description>

		<title>suspending judgement indefinitely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m as guilty as anyone of making ill considered judgements about people. I tell myself its a human weakness, but that&#8217;s a cop out. The truth is I&#8217;m guilty of allowing fleeting impressions, assumptions and imagination to make up for the lack of evidence. Someone will say something, or do something, or even just appear to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>true heroes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;real heroes take no credit&#8230;they do their thing and move on&#8217; I remember reading something along these lines in the Tao Te Ching years ago, and thinking, &#8216;that sounds right!&#8217;
When speaking of heroes, often our first thought is of soldiers and battle. Warriors overcome their natural fear, risking and often losing their lives for the greater good. When [...]]]></description>

		<title>the day after Mardi Gras</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Ash Wednesday, the 1st day of Lent. For the next 40 days, Christians, as best they can, turn their backs on earthly delights and renew their commitment to God. Traditionally they give up something they enjoy, and take up something that may be of service to others. Each in their own way make [...]]]></description>

		<title>a certain amount of truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through the ages, the word and the notion, truth, has been the subject of conjecture, debate, and reams of written opinion and discourse. I don&#8217;t pretend to have anything startlingly new to add. But the phrase which is the title of this post, and what it suggests, has always disturbed me.
One of the dictionary definitions of certain is, [...]]]></description>

		<title>truants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning as I pottered around my kitchen rearranging the debris, I noticed several children wandering by, after 9.00am, not looking like they were hurrying to school. First two girls walked by both eating some kind of bright yellow candy. Next a boy cycled by then stopped to untangle his shoelace from his chain. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>non-stick glue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Am I the only person who increasingly finds that modern envelopes do not have enough glue on them? Or the glue has been diluted? In any case, no amount of spittle will seal the envelope. So some kind of tape is required to do the job.
What kind of cost-cutting madness is this? Is this a [...]]]></description>

		<title>prune juice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I woke up feeling like I&#8217;d eaten a dairy farm. Industrial amounts of meat, cream and cheese. I felt bloated, sick, lethargic and useless. Clearly the seasonal excesses had finally caught up with me.
I dragged myself out of bed with considerable effort, and went to church. When I got home, I did a tiny [...]]]></description>

		<title>blessed are the poor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been a big fan of shopping. For me the impetus is need rather than want. Only when I really have to, do I shop. When that moment arrives, I find what is required as quickly as possible and buy it. Leaving the store, or these days, website, is the only enjoyable part for [...]]]></description>

		<title>I live in a shopping mall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I live in the old English university town of Cambridge. Along the river Cam, are some of the most beautiful old buildings in Europe. A trip I never tire of is a punt ride down this river, from which vantage point, the buildings are perhaps best admired. Far from the traffic, the lapping of water [...]]]></description>
