		<title>something is afoot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now is a time for Quiet.
If blogs still exist a year from now, my readers still ambling by,
I may have something New and Better to offer.  We&#8217;ll see.
I could tell you today about my Barefootedness &#8211;
hoping the world will have  a more even dispersement of shoes
by sunset.
But I&#8217;m a little Tired, so I will save [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=435&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>fake smart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, I was going to tell you that I may just take 2009 as a break from blogging.  The pressure of a blog without fresh posts would dissipate just like that.  But that was before I wrote my last post.  I had underestimated the power of writing (and bread dough) to make my world [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=376&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>in which food makes me angry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it started last night when I instant-messaged my husband:
&#8220;my motivation to cook supper is falling out of the window&#8230;.  can it be a palio&#8217;s night maybe?&#8221;
So we went out for pizza.  It was fine.  Under twenty dollars, easy, quick.  It was fine.
But I knew I had to face grocery shopping today, so I finished [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=372&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are gluttons for Fall.
We drink in the last days,
on lush carpets of leaves
among a tangle of branches.

I tied a scarf around my head in the style of Rambo &#8212; only it looked more feminine.  The tie-dyed material pooled on my shoulders and swung down my back, and dreadlocks peeked out from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=369&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>the beginning of reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have read Pete&#8217;s a Pizza at least twenty times this week.  I have read it quickly, slowly, with voices, without voices.
I&#8217;ve read to Isaiah from his birth.  I wanted him to love books more than I had, and, yeah&#8230; I love them quite a lot.  In the beginning, I would read my own books aloud, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=362&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>courage to create</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m taking inspiration from my husband, Kyle, who posted a collection of notes and reactions to Twyla Tharp&#8217;s book The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life.
I&#8217;ve never linked creativity to risk, but tonight it makes sense to me that taking risks may help me live more creatively.  It&#8217;s fear that keeps me from living [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=360&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>finally, some political conclusions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has&#8221; (Margaret Mead).
Foreword:  I wish I had the time and energy to respond to each of you separately, but again, I can only thank you for the time and thought you put into your [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=314&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>mein kampf: a political testimony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I helped keep Barack Obama in his candidacy for U.S. President.  That&#8217;s right.  I voted for him in the Texas primary.  To be honest, I liked crazy old Ron Paul, but I knew he had no chance of winning when my time to vote came around.
&#8220;So how could you fall so far as to vote for &#8216;that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=331&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>an update on nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, this is a post on something, after all.  It&#8217;s a much-belated update on my 30 29 Days of Nothing.
What a month this has been!  Full of blessings and bounty &#8212; far from nothing!  There was so much bounty, in fact, that I expected to look back at my five resolutions in my original post and have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=322&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anna came to visit tonight while I was knitting.  It was quiet and dim.  I was bundled under my orange scarf, assuring myself that I must not be fast enough because my needles don&#8217;t make clicking sounds &#8212; the cliche that&#8217;s always used to describe knitting.
Anna sat down on the couch and watched me.  Her mouth twitched [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=clbeyer.wordpress.com&blog=2443214&post=320&subd=clbeyer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
