Public education is the key civil rights
issue of the 21st century. Our nation's
knowledge-based economy demands that we
provide young people from all backgrounds
and circumstances with the education and
skills necessary to become knowledge workers.
If we don't, we run the risk of creating
an even larger gap between the middle class
and the poor. This gap threatens our democracy,
our society and the economic future of America.

Personally, I have been very impressed by
the slow food movement. It is about celebrating
the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary
knowledge, developed over millennia, of
the traditions involved with quality food
production, of the sheer joy and pleasure
of consuming food together. Especially within
the context of family life, this has to
be one of the highest forms of cultural
activity.

Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully

property.

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible
white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her
way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating
heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began,
only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near
the harbour was.

The highest knowledge is to know that we
are surrounded by mystery. Neither knowledge
nor hope for the future can be the pivot
of our life or determine its direction.
It is intended to be solely determined by
our allowing ourselves to be gripped by
the ethical God, who reveals Himself in
us, and by our yielding our will to His.

The present moment has always been available to spiritual seekers, but as
long as you are seeking you are not available to the present moment. "Seeking"
implies that you are looking to the future for some answer, or for some achievement,
spiritual or otherwise. Everybody is in the seeking mode, seeking to add something
to who they are, whether it be money, relationships, possessions, knowledge, status..
or spiritual attainment. Eckhart
