Two Futures: Nukes or No?
A couple years ago, I ran across Tyler Wigg-Stevenson in an article he wrote, "A Merciful White Flash." Tyler recounted the amazing story of his post-grad years, living under the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge (hilariously, living under his desk) and working for an advocacy group committed to the elimination of nuclear weapons.

From Death to Life
You've got to give yourself to something in order to truly experience it. You can't truly know the deep ocean waters unless you dive in - not even the BBC's Planet Earth (good as it is) allows you to taste the salty sea or get that short panicky sensation when a high wave envelops you in crashing, rushing, drowning water.

Faith, Science...and Poets too
Though Chris Uhlman landed his essay a bit haywire (too wimpish, I suspect, no matter where one falls on these conversations), he offers some interesting wrestlings with the role of faith in the public square.
Here's a teaser:
The older I get the less certain I become and the more bewildered I am by the unshakable convictions of both strident believers and atheists.
However, I am certain that I have little time for those who hold believers in contempt. And I have begun to suspect...
