		<title>Leaf: Justin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Schools hate us, and we hate them.

We're the broken, and they're the field,
where all plants thrive who know the ways
of water and bearing crop.

		<title>Leaf: Eat the Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eat the light.
They will tell you to share. Tell them-
-tell them-
go to hell.
She was tearful, the girl
at her cousin&#8217;s wedding- brought to me, like a child
to a principal&#8217;s office. Tell me- What did she DO?
&#8220;She writes stories. I was hoping
(because flattering her didn&#8217;t work)
maybe you
could coax her, give her the courage
to get them published.&#8221; She, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaf: The Bitter Train</title>
		<description><![CDATA[and you don't know, who've never tasted death.
We, who've been to the goblin market once, 
know how sweet the first bite of drowning is
and how bitter forever after.

		<description><![CDATA[Right now, you're exactly who and what you can live with. You DO live with it. You're living, right now, at the 'set point' between your laziness and your self-esteem.]]></description>

		<title>Leaf: Love, and Other Drugs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve known a lot of people who self medicate with love affairs. It frightens me. I know one person who, as long as I&#8217;ve known them, has never remained single for more than a few weeks. Ever.
 Everyone has a different take on love, but for the sake of discussion, let&#8217;s assume that every type of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gamers for Goodness: MarioMarathon.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, the fabulous gamewarriors at MarioMarathon stepped into the ring with the same meek premise. It didn't matter what they made, they just thought, let's play some games, collect donations, funnel it all into child's play, and call it a weekend! After all, who hasn't wasted a whole weekend playing games with friends before?]]></description>

		<title>Leaf: Deciding to Do Something Stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Why do people do it?" is an important question. Maybe one of the most important in psychology. No one does anything without a reason, and if it didn't do something for them, they wouldn't do it. So we have to ask, How do people reach this decision? What does it do  for them?  At what point are they genuinely convinced, or rather, until what point can they be swayed from it?

		<title>Leaf: On Second Chances</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Fairy Godmother, darling glittering winged well-wisher, I hope you find a real job. One that involves more than promoting wealth without work, beauty and romance above character and love, and one that turns you into something more than a force of destruction, upheaving kingdoms and running economies into the ground.

		<title>NewsBlog: Rumble In&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The problem is discontent, the problemis loneliness, the problem is fear and anxiety and attachment issues. We could give them each a laptop and a scholarship, but that won't hit the heart of the matter, which is happening in the kids, not just in their environment.

		<title>Leaf: On Drift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drift happens everywhere. It happens in relationships, it happens in jobs, it happens in school, it happens in hobbies, it happens in meditation growth. Drift happens. It's necessary- without it, we never have a chance to recommit to what we're doing. It's not a sign that it's time to change. It's a sign that it's time to look around, get our bearings. Enjoy our paths for a few moments. ]]></description>
