MyAlltop

Alltop has been around for a while, collecting news and feeds. They label themselves as an “online magazine rack” of popular topics. Just a few of their pages: news from CNN, news from the BBC, news from the New York Times and news from Newsweek.

Alltop has now launched MyAlltop which gives you the possibility to tailor a page that matches your own preferences. I have decided to give it a try, I like the quick way to browse articles by just hovering over them in the lists.

My own version, btwendel, is a work in progress. There is more I want to add and I will probably drop some of what is there now.

There is a crack in everything

I am a fan of Leonard Cohen and there is a part in the Anthem lyrics that means a lot:

There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.

In other words, we need to be open to let the light in – and to let our own light out.

Added in a comment by Sue James

Perhaps another way of expressing this can also be found in the words of another poet – Kahlil Gibran:

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.”
