Sailing...

By Vichara

The day should not be determined by the collection of anxieties brewing internally but by using the rudder of clarity to guide you through the rough waters that we are surfed we will encounter. And while our sails may be listless for a time we will find the resolve to fill them with energies of compassion and love to ply the waters of life once again. Here ends the nautical (life) lesson of the day. Arrrrghhh, sail away my fellow philanthropic pirates, arrrrgh!

Did you know?
"Telecommute" derives from the prefix "tele-," a descendant of the Greek word "tēle," meaning "far off," and the verb "commute," which arose from Latin "commutare," meaning "to change" or "to exchange." The practice of working at home and interfacing with the office electronically has only recently become commonplace, but the word "telecommute" has been around since the mid-1970s. Its earliest documented use can be found in a January 1974 article in The Economist that predicted, "As there is no logical reason why the cost of telecommunication should vary with distance, quite a lot of people by the late 1980s will telecommute daily to their London offices while living on a Pacific island if they want to."
