At Afghani restaurant in Old City on First Friday (FYI: on the first friday of every month tons of galleries in several square blocks of old city stay open late and offer wine and cheese for hundreds of strolling city-folk to enjoy. Street vendors and performers were in full force). Emma, Cameron and Rohit met up with Sam and I, am we went to National Mechanics, Beneluxx and then a less than inspiring dance club
First trip to Go Vertical - Old City's bigggest indoor rockclimbing gym....looks like I will need to get my own equiptment soon...little sister - any advice?
Continuing "Spirituality tour 2009":this morning I went a meeting at the Ethical Society in Rittenhouse square. The talk for the day was on "Truth and Personal Responsibility" and was especially focused on the idea that we are individually responsible for the actions of the groups we are a part of - including our country's foriegn policy. The talk was bookended by member announcements, piano playing and singing about how we are all aiming to live by the highest moral standards. It was all very digestible except the statement that belief in religious stories (such as the rebirth of Jesus) is diluting attainment of truth in our communal conciousness...not sure that can be a sentiment shared by all the members...
