In some form, at some time, we have all been silenced. We all have felt that our voice had no value, that we were invisible.

In these difficult times, all we can do is to surrender, give in, and open our hearts to one another, to receive and give. Love is the source of our survival.

Perhaps Elvis the mouse served a purpose here. But now, I'd like to thank him for coming. And bid him a fond farewell after work well done.

Don't be surprised if the spike in violence that came in advance of Iraqi Day of National Sovereignty continues. And don't be surprised if here at home, the right-wing goes on the attack with its favorite weapon, fear.

The last few weeks in Iran have reminded us of many things we'd rather not remember about governments, and of at least one thing that we should remember about people: they can stand up for their beliefs even when doing so poses great risk.

Ask 10 people this simple question, "Freak or super freak?" And I assure you regardless of their political views all ten will answer "Super Freak."

How can you tell whether you are getting a story that is balanced and proportionate to the crisis or one that is fanning panic and hysteria? One quick guide is to evaluate the pictures.

Knowledge is king and awareness is power. The positive actions you take to face any situation in life give you control over your behavior and emotions. That's how to fight fear and make it work for you.

When our news is filled with the karmic results of our "Greed is Good!" ways (AIG, Merril Lynch, Madoff and Ponzi schemes), I personally find it helpful to turn back to my Buddhist tradition.
