Maintaining Love in Punishment

I blog every Monday at www.anotherworldisprobable.com and this podcast is me reading those posts.

For years people asked me whether I had a blog and the answer was always "no," until one day it was, "yes."

I started "Another World is Probable" as a nod to the World Social Forum's annual theme, "Another World is Possible." There's also that quote from Arundhati Roy who says, "Another world is not only possible, she's on the way and, on a quiet day, if you listen very carefully you can hear her breathe."

In my opinion, we've moved beyond the cusp of possibility and into the realm of reality.
