		<title>on my prana. and how i almost lost it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I almost broke my neck while doing dolphin pose in the shower.   I realise how ridiculous this sounds, now.   But at the time aqua-yoga seemed quite reasonable. 
And I nearly died. 
There was no voice.  No shining light.  No reflection of any kind.  But there was [...]]]></description>

		<title>the theory of everything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I were born calm I would have been a physicist.   It would have made for nice balance.  But I wasn&#8217;t.  I came into the world hyper and full of stress.  So I write.   It&#8217;s where I find my peace.
When I was a kid I loved Einstein, because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;My new found spirituality made it essential to me that we not battle.  So this was my position &#8211; I would neither defend myself from him, nor would I fight him.  For the longest time, against he counsel of all who cared about me, I resisted even consulting a lawyer, because I considered [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;fiction&#8221; by alice munro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The best thing in winter was driving home, after her day teaching music in the Rough River schools. It would already be dark, and on the upper streets of the town snow might be falling, while rain lashed the car on the coastal highway. Joyce drove beyond the limits of the town into the forest, [...]]]></description>

		<title>writing as acting: john august</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last fall I took a writing workshop with Daniel Wallace, a man who knows a thing or two about bringing books to the big screen.   The film rights to Wallace&#8217;s novel, &#8220;Big Fish&#8221;, was purchased by Columbia Pictures.  Steven Spielberg sat on the project for a while but it was Tim Burton [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
When Effie saw Cosby Puckett out of the corner of her sight she saw a woman with a want. Not some innocent school girl who sat studying a bunch of books on her momma’s porch.  Letting on, like she always did, that she was too shy to smile at a man and too innocent [...]]]></description>

		<title>guess who watched &#8216;whip it&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last month I put on a pair of roller skates for the first time in twenty years.  It&#8217;s this whole Yes Man thing I&#8217;m trying. I loved it.  I mean, I still think skating backward is nothing short of sorcery.  But I&#8217;m really geared up for my next trip to the rink. [...]]]></description>

		<title>keep calm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
The original Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the Ministry of Information in 1939 during the beginning of World War II and intended to stiffen resolve. 
The poster was intended as a &#8220;last case scenario&#8221; to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Great Britain.   [...]]]></description>

		<title>shakespeare&#8217;s daughters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month Rachel Cusk had a brilliant article in the Guardian on women&#8217;s writing.    She made several good points that illustrate the conundrum many of us find ourselves in.  Importantly, she asked whether women&#8217;s writing should seek equivalence or distinction from its male counterpart.  She&#8217;s inclined to agree with Simone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plan was:  US Airways from Charlotte, brief layover in Philly, 8am arrival in Manchester.   It&#8217;s now 2:20pm and I&#8217;m sitting in the BA Lounge at Gatwick.  But that&#8217;s not the best part.
