A couple links, just because....

I was going to try to say something coherent about these, but I'm not thinking of anything and I want to share them and they're cluttering up my desktop right now, so:

From Sacred Ordinary, an entry about another woman's poetry, about Iraq, and about (IMO) living in the world. I found it powerful and moving.

And this article about what increased/decreased sales means, in terms of the music industry. Stuff I've heard before, but laid out pretty neatly with some additional detail.

Yes, completely unrelated to each other, except that they were cluttering my computer waiting to be written about, so...there you go! :)
