The Joy of Less    By: Pico Iyer

"The beat of my heart has grown deeper, more active and yet more peaceful, and it is as if I were all the time storing up inner riches...My [life] is one long sequence of inner miracles."  The young Dutchwoman Etty Hillesum wrote that in a Nazi transit camp in 1943, on her way to her death at Auschwitz two months later.  Towards the end of his life, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen," though by then he had already lost his father when he was 7, his first wife when she was 20 and his first son, aged 5.

The Fuzz Speech By: Gil Hedley

When you sleep at night the interfaces between your muscles grow "fuzz" which limits movement.  Stretching helps release the fuzz and allows for greater mobility and ease.
