Via JMG: Russian Priest: The World Cup Is A Homosexual Abomination Because Shoes
While thousands of Russian fans were left devastated by their team's early exit from the World Cup tournament, one Orthodox priest has openly rejoiced at their failure, denouncing the contest as a "homosexual abomination." Priest Alexander Shumsky seems to have taken particular exception to the brightly colored footwear on display in Brazil, writing in his column on Christian website Russian People's Line that players who wear green, yellow, pink or blue shoes helped promote the "gay rainbow." "Wearing pink or blue shoes, [the players] might as well wear women's panties or a bra," Shumsky wrote, adding that he was also offended by the "unthinkable" hairstyles of some of the players in Brazil.(Tipped by JMG reader Kevin)

Thinking Like a Mountain | July 7, 2014
How do you watch a mountain? Nothing’s
going to happen in any time frame that you can consider—except the light
changes on it. And so that was my mountain watching. The changing light
on the mountain was like the changing thoughts in my mind, just these
little shifting shadows, that’s all that it is.
—Gary Snyder, “Thinking Like a Mountain”
