AFFIRMATIVE

by The Bangkok Bards

Saknarin Chinayote & Charles Frederickson

Say yes to natural existence
Observing how plants animals grow
Learning to live dying gracefully
Acceptance simply being truly yourself

Life’s rhythms coexisting in harmony
Unfinished symphony awaiting upbeat coda
Spiritual serenity vision quest guide
Wholehearted cooperation with inevitable Fate

Accepting things we cannot change
Focusing on making positive adjustments
Governing ourselves without being overruled
By external circumstances beyond control

Seedling sprouting from infertile soil
Revitalized cool breezes soothing angst
Overburdened restless spirit regaining strength
Restorative nature uplifting serene oneness

If only I could grow
Stronger firmer quieter perceptively wiser
Learning what sedentary rocks know
Perpetual stillness simply being content

Life adapts to irresistible spontaneous
Change letting things flow calmly
Nurturing nature’s strange creatures world
Freely running own predestined course

Nature and Science (magazines)

Reading my news feeds,  I came across a reference to NATURE magazine, an article about evaluating extinction rates and how science reporting goes haywire.  You can find the original Nature letter in the May 19th issue

You can also order Nature on the mymagstore.com website.  We carry a very limited number of back issues, so it you want the May 19th issue, be sure to specify it.


A quick note -- while we do carry Nature, we are unable at this time to carry Science magazine.  Science is a subscriber only publication.  I would love to carry Science, and am still hoping you find a way.

Ephemeral Weeklies

We still have a few copies of last week's German language magazine, Der Spiegel, with the pink or blue his or hers covers. 

And then some of the news and science weeklies, not quite as over the top as the post election ride of  the valkyries cover.  High Country News Dr No cover, Thanksgiving from the New Yorker, The Economist does China, Time does Marijuana, and Newsweek does the God of All Things.
