Via JMG: Ferguson Protesters Wed
Alexis Templeton and Brittany Ferrell first met while demonstrating in Ferguson, Missouri, following the death of unarmed Michael Brown and a grand jury’s subsequent decision to not indict the police officer who shot him. The two activists were married Tuesday at St. Louis City Hall — months after meeting while demonstrating in Ferguson. Both Templeton and Ferrell are prominently involved in Millenial Activists United, a youth-led organization that focuses on “educating and empowering” communities.

Freedom from Dukkha | December 17, 2014
Freedom from dukkha doesn't mean eternal youth, or that we are never
going to have a headache, never going to feel irritation, or loss, or
get betrayed and hurt by others. Freedom from dukkha is not abdication
from the human race, but a deeper acceptance of how we are, an
acceptance that brings both equanimity, and also a clearer response.
