What's so funny 'bout
peace, love and understanding?
Spirituality, community, peacemaking |
- Silent Unity
- "Silent Unity is a worldwide prayer ministry that,
for over 100 years, has been in continuous prayer with people of all
faiths. Through times of war, peace, depression, and prosperity, the
prayer vigil in Silent Unity’s chapel and the brightly shining
beacon atop its cupola have continued uninterrupted."
- Fellowship of Reconciliation
- "The Fellowship of Reconciliation seeks to replace
violence, war, racism, and economic injustice with nonviolence, peace,
and justice. We are an interfaith organization committed to active
nonviolence as a transforming way of life and as a means of radical
change."
- Heifer International
- Since 1944, Heifer International has helped more than four million
poor families in 125 countries become self-reliant through the gift
of food- and income-producing animals and training in their care.
- The Foundation for Community
Encouragement
- Founded in 1984 by a group of eleven people, including M. Scott Peck,
author of The Different Drum and A
World Waiting to Be Born, the FCE served as a catalyst for individuals,
groups, and organizations seeking to communicate with authenticity,
deal with difficult issues, welcome and affirm diversity, bridge differences
with integrity, and relate to each other and the world around them
with love and respect.
In 2002, the FCE passed on its mission to its constituents and ceased
active operations. The website remains, however, and the activities
of community building are ongoing. Those who are interested in current
events within the Community-building effort may wish to consult the Community
Crossroads site.
- Community Crossroads
- Community Crossroads is an information clearinghouse for the international
community building effort as envisioned by M. Scott Peck in his books The
Different Drum and A World Waiting to
Be Born.
- Artwell's Oracula
- I love this site. I love the I Ching ("newwings"), and
I love the shrines (expect to see some links to Artwell's shrines hereabouts
real soon), and I've been a member of the commonwheal for quite a long
time.
- Freewill Astrology
- Rob Brezsny is crazed, poetic, and genuinely insightful far too often.
There's lots of good stuff to be found if you dig around at this site.

commercial annoyance.

- A List Apart
- They're back! They've been away for a while, but they're back now.
Happy to hear it -- there's a lot of good information here, even if
they are a little CSS-happy. (Hey, I like CSS. I think CSS
is very elegant. I use CSS as much as I can. But let's face it; a lot
of CSS is still not implemented correctly in the browsers out there,
and I want my pages to work more than I want them to be CSS-correct.
'kay?)
- WebMonkey
- The web developer's resource.
- VisiBone Color Lab
- Try out different web color combinations.
- Hillman Curtis
- Motion graphics master. My favorite piece is "Sky".

I've been told that
I shouldn't call it "miscellaneous", but that's what it is
Things you should check out. |
- Austine Wood Comarow Polage
- I saw this woman's art in a gallery in Cambria, California and I
was bowled over. I can't describe it. You just have to go look.
- The National Marrow Donor Program
- I rant about this periodically. Imagine if you could LITERALLY save
somebody's life, with relatively little risk to yourself. Imagine if
you could give a terminally ill person back their health, give a family
another chance with their mother, father, beloved child... How amazing
would that be? This could be the most important website you'll ever
visit. I'm not kidding. I'm not exagerrating. Don't put it off. If
you're not already signed up with the marrow donor registry, go now
to find out how to do it. Do it now. It's that important.
- The NOAA Photo Library
- Fabulous, beautiful pictures in the public domain from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Go. Look. See your tax dollars
at work and be amazed.
- The National Weather Service
- I've had a lot of people tell me that they found this link useful.
See that little "City, State" field in the upper left corner?
Put a city and a state in there and click on "Go". Voila!
An extended forecast! See the little radar image thumbnail to the lower
right? Click there. Voila! Current radar image for said city. See the
short-range and long-range "loop" links at the left? Click
on one. Voila! Radar loop! Cool, huh?
