I hope you enjoy
thanks
Marvin (Karaam)
I saw a star on the eve of awareness
shining from the eye of my soul
guided by the wisdom of many ancestors
giving heart to all that I hold
like a diamond with perfect angles
or a garden with every seed
grown through patience, love and divine guidance

The License The Talk Vs. The Right To Talk...
The world is full of Humans. Humans of all classifications and the one thing that we all Humans have in common is our ability to gain and retain the "License to Talk". What is the License to Talk? It is simply the badge of awareness of a particular subject or life experience that gives one "legal right" to speak what they know. You can acquire the license to talk from school, from an organization, from self study, from a particular experience or anywhere where you, the Human, acquires new inf

Happiness
Happiness is all around you
it is in the early morning air
it is in the commute to work
it lies between the confusion of the day
and creates a harmonic balance
happiness is the most precious jewel to find
in a sea of despair and sadness
happiness walks with all Humans
even when we aren't paying attention
happiness pulls at all of our frustrations
urging us to move through it
happiness finds us in our darkest hour

Thoughts on Human
By the author of The Human Race Bible (www.amazon.com)
Life
life is what you make it
it comes at you from all directions

you are a part of everything
so life is your handmaiden
use it for success
use it for prosperity
use it for health
become one with life perpetually
you have a choice

NPR's All Thing's Considered
As Obama Mulls Afghan Decision, A Look Ahead
President Obama is expected to announce his decision on troop levels in Afghanistan this week. When the president takes the podium at West Point on Tuesday, he'll draw not only from America's experience at war in Afghanistan, but from the Soviet Union's as well. Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institution talks to guest host Robert Smith about the president's deliberations. Riedel served as a CIA agent in the region under now-Defense Secretary Robert Gates; he also chaired the first Afghan policy review completed this springChallenges Remain In Bringing 9/11 Suspects To N.Y.

NPR's counterterrorism correspondent Dina Temple-Raston tells guest host Robert Smith about the challenges in getting the prisoner to the New York courtroom.Director Jim Sheridan On 'Brothers'
Writer/director Jim Sheridan has been nominated for six Oscars but has never won. His next big chance: the drama Brothers, which opens Friday. It's a chilling war movie that's centered on the home front, featuring three of the biggest under-35 stars in movies today — Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman. Host Robert Smith talks to Sheridan about his reputation as an "actor's director," and about how he hopes to make this movie stand out from the war-movie pack.Swiss Voters Approve Ban On Minarets

Millions of Americans are on the road today, driving home from Thanksgiving festivities. And guest host Robert Smith talks to a few of them at a welcome center off I-95 in Maryland. The topic?

Authorities in Washington are searching for the man who shot and killed four police officers in an early morning ambush at a coffee shop near McChord Air Force Base, in Tacoma. NPR's Martin Kaste updates guest host Robert Smith on the investigation.Transsexual 'L.A. Times' Sportswriter Dead
Los Angeles Times reporter Mike Penner, who publicly chronicled his gender transition and returned to the paper under the name Christine Daniels, died Friday evening at age 52.Big-Screen Memories Of A New York Adventure
It was 1939, the year of the New York World's Fair, Germany's invasion of Poland, and the publication of Steinbeck's classic The Grapes of Wrath. It's also the year two 18-year-old girls from Denver took a train to the East Coast for an adventure that inspired a Hollywood musical.DJ Spooky: An Antarctic Expedition In Sound
DJ culture has always been fascinated with the concept of cool. But musician and artist Paul Miller — aka DJ Spooky — decided to get to the core of the phenomenon. His new multimedia project is structured around his sound recordings from the icy continent.Dubai Economic Crisis Hits The World
Is Dubai too big too fail? Earlier this week, officials in the Gulf state announced they needed more time to repay $60 billion in money borrowed to build lavish hotels, manmade islands and the world's tallest skyscraper. World markets slumped because of the news. Economist Simon Johnson, former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund, and Christopher Davidson, author of Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success, discuss the big impact made by the tiny emirate.Forums
