A Gift of Dharma for 1.30.11
Today’s quote is another from the much-beloved Acharya Ani Pema Chödrön, whom I first quoted and wrote a little biography for in this post. This is it:
To be fully alive, fully human, and completely AWAKE, is to be continually thrown out of the nest.

A Gift of Dharma for 1.29.11
Today’s quote is another from the much-beloved Acharya Ani Pema Chödrön, whom I first quoted and wrote a little biography for in this post. This is it (again, via @PemaQuotes):
When we are willing to stay even a moment with uncomfortable energy, we gradually learn not to fear it.

Stand With the People of Egypt
This from Avaaz.Org:
The demonstrations in Egypt could end three decades of repressive rule and bring, at long last, freedom and democracy to Egypt.
The regime is attempting to starve the protest movement of two crucial sources of power: information and solidarity. But despite the internet blackout, Egyptian radios and satellite TVs can still receive broadcasts from across the border — so Avaaz will work with broadcasters whose signals reach inside Egypt to circulate the number signatures on this statement of solidarity, along with messages of support from around the world for Egypt’s people.
Every hour matters. What happens next depends of all of us. Let’s stand with those on the streets and build a deafening outcry against rampant corruption and political repression, and for democratic reform.Sign the statement of solidarity–and spread the word about this campaign!
“We stand with the people of Egypt in their demand for freedom and basic rights, an end to the crackdown and internet blackout, and immediate democratic reform. We call on our governments to join us in our solidarity with the Egyptian people.”
