Sweden’s Bunkers
With no domestic sources of fossil fuels (well – except for wood of course), there has always been a push in Sweden to go for local sources of energy. A fairly large number of reasonably sized rivers made hydropower an interesting alternative and large installations were made in the early 1900s. The main railways in Sweden were electrified from 1914 and onwards and at the time of WWII, a substantial coverage had been achieved by international standards. Today some > 95% of the rail transport effort is done with electric traction.

Carl Sagan-a tribute, The Frontier is Everywhere
At the moment of waking up,
before getting out of bed,
get in touch with your breath,
feel the various sensations in your body,
note any thoughts and feeling that may be present,
let mindfulness touch this moment,
Can you feel your breath?
Can you perceive the dawning of each in breath?
Can you enjoy the feeling of the breath freely
entering your body in this moment?
Breathe in I smile,
breathe out I calm my body,
dwelling in the present moment,
it is a wonderful moment.Thich Nhat Hanh.

This is my new favorite blog and this entry really speaks to me!
Namaste:)
Purposefully cultivate and arrange an elemental place of being in your home. This is a space where you can clear the mind, calm the body, and experience a lightness of being. Simple, uncluttered spaces that feature natural beauty inspire creativity and a compassionate awakening to our true nature.

Take a problem you are dealing with that seems unsolvable or extremely difficult to you at the moment. Realize it is a koan. Stop trying to figure it out or work it out. Take a different approach. Let it be. Sit with it, be with it, make friends with it. Stop longing for a solution. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Realize that this koan, as it is now, is your lifeblood.
