Big news for Buddhists/Feminists
“Time only will tell if the bhikkhuni ordination at Bodhinyana monastery in October 2009 will be seen as a key breakthrough in the acceptance of a Theravada bhikkhuni order, or as an overly hasty and confrontational move that alienated many of those it was intended to persuade.”

Calvin = Chucky this year.
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary (via psychotherapy)
Note to self: Read Madame Bovary.

The Danish practice of teaching preschool children in the forest all year round may be in for the chop
“From 8am to 4pm, five days a week, the 25 or so children come to school here, rain, hail or shine. They have their snacks here, eat their lunch here, build dens and play hide and seek. And there is no popping back home to use the loo. All that goes on outdoors too, with plenty of plastic bags on hand to remove the evidence.”
I want to go back in time and attend a forest school! This would have been a DREAM for me.
