If you're looking for something to read, fellow textile person Sarah Goslee (who runs Phiala's String Page) has a story online at Fireside Magazine, called "By Stone, by Sea, by Flower, by Thorn".

Also, if you speak German and are looking for some fodder for thought, go and give a try to WDR5's "Das philosophische Radio". It's also available as podcast, I totally love it for its variety of topics, and the moderator Jürgen Wiebicke does a job that is beyond brilliant!
