knitting and listening and watching


Franny's socks are on the left, my first of two arm/wrist warmers is on the right.  We knit as we sat with a group at church to listen to a segment of Speaking of Faith, hosted by Krista Tippett. A production of American Public Media, SoF is a wonderful collection of interviews with leading thinkers.  The segment we listened to was with Pankaj Mishra, on  An End to Suffering, the Buddah in the World.  The conversation between Tippett and Mishra was rich and resonated with many of us when we considered what's been going on with Obama and some of his nominees for important posts this week.  Repossessing virtue. Living ethically.  Rulers as righteous leaders.  Yeah, how hungry have we been for this?

Then we picked Gretta up from school and went to see a matinee showing of Slumdog Millionaire.  All I will say is GO SEE IT.  

Namaste.

  1. My NPR station has moved Speaking of Faith to 7 a.m. Sunday which is too early for me...i used to enjoy it very much. They do carry Interfaith Voices later in the day on Sunday which is worth listening to but not the same. Love your wrist warmer! and thanks for the recommendation of Slumdog Millionaire...i've been enjoying all the bits i've been hearing about it on NPR, including the music! Nearest movie theatre is 15 miles away so i will have to make a concerted effort to go see it.
