Random Linkage : Progressive Visionary Edition | Full Contact Enlightenment

Well I’m officially an oldster. Yesterday I got a pair of progressive lenses plopped onto my face and am now settling into my new life of adjusting my head around like a small, quizzical owl-woman. As tempting as my old glasses are to reach out to, I’m going to stick it out and see how this month of stumbling around and noggin-reorienting goes for me before doing so. Patience. Discipline. I’m lifting my head and peering down as I type this.

So while I can still make out the words on this screen here at Full Contact Enlightenment, here are a few things that I want to share with you:

• Sweeping Zen, the delightful, informative and comprehensive site featuring the who’s who of Zen has put a call out for financial help with their server costs. If you can spare a bit of change, please do toss it over their way on their Go Fund Me page in order to help them continue to deliver the Dharma.
• I really enjoyed this piece by Eric Traub titled “The Precision That Creates Movement” which covers Nicholas Vreeland aka the Monk With the Camera.
• Teachers Not Gurus- Where do you stand?
• Here’s a clip from Ponlop Rinpoche that I wanted to share. How are you doing with integrating spirituality into your life?

• Now for some self promotion and a call for help. As you know (because I keep hooting on about it) -  I have a book coming out with the fine folks at SUMERU Books. We’re getting soooo close to having the final piece compiled and are now in need of a name. Drop over to the SUMERU website for a bit of information and a special offer for any wordsmiths up for the challenge of naming this book.
• I’m a bit of a productivity nerd and started reading a new book. Now imagine my surprise when I find this little illustration staring back at me. Overall I’m really into the book (and the little bit on mindfulness and enhanced productivity) and it’s giving me lots of great ideas for embarking on GTD - Getting Things Done. It might be the post New Year’s haze of wanting to set resolutions I’ll stick to.
