		<title>Closet Meditators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a movement afoot. The eastern practice of meditation is inculcating the western world. 
Perhaps if I wrote consistently from the position of digression, it would be less of a problem. But then, I digress even further&#8230;..moving on.

		<description><![CDATA[Yea, so I am using a literary device to deceive you into thinking I am out of breath. Yea, cheesy. Furthmore, I want you to believe that I am out of breath because I have been so busy. Rushing here and there, and then back again. Yea, that&#8217;s the truth.

		<title>Karmic Repairs done while you wait&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past several months, I have found respite in a tiny little cafe in Santa Barbara California that has been selling wholesome food to the nuts and berries crowd since 1978. This oasis in the confusion is called the Sojourner Cafe. My experience there has been exquisitely revealing.

What I have discovered is profound. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Political Commentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The regular readers of the Trifling blog don&#8217;t usually encounter political commentary from the owner/publisher. This is because I am typically a-political. Not that I don&#8217;t have positions or opinions, but like football, I have never developed a penchant for watching either of these spectator sports. My roommate however, as well as being a snappy [...]]]></description>

The Hollow Men
T. S. Eliot
Mistah Kurtz—he dead.
      A penny for the Old Guy
      I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our [...]]]></description>
