Four Reasons to Quiet Your Monkey Mind

When his uncorrupted body was translated in 1163 the ring was removed and placed with the Abbey relics, which of course were plundered in 1540 when the monastery was dissolved.

 
Many would see his ungracious treatment of Earl Godwine in 1051, not to mention his insistence that Godwine wreak havoc with the unfortunate citizens of Dover, as unsaintly behavior. But in the end, his ardor in building Westminster Cathedral seems to have overcome any earlier indiscretions.Time has changed. Today, we no longer pick up our spears and go out to hunt in the nearby wilderness, our hunt starts and ends in the local grocery store. These are easier times than the ancient ones. Instead of working your way day by day, unknowing what would tomorrow bring, we can now store food for long periods of time. We don't need the killing instinct that was so vital for our ancestors, and can focus on building our fruitful, accomplishing lives, without having to worry about hunger and starvation.No doubt we are leaving in glorious times.

We can get into a supermarket and buy a microwave dinner that would be ready in two and a half minutes, we can pick up the phone and order Chinese food without lifting our weight from the couch, we can order pizza on the web without having to talk to the delivery guy, and if we are feeling adventurous, we can put on some pants and go out for a burger in the local diner.Two things we have lost since those prehistoric days, when hunting our own food was so vital for our survival- the ability to cook for ourselves and our health. If you would look around you, you could see more and more people so occupied with their careers and lives, that they don't have the time to cook for themselves, and thus never acquired the needed skills for the task. They can build fancy working tables and diagrams, but couldn't boil an egg if their life were depended on it.
