Take Your Time
by Eknath EaswaranOver-scheduled, always tired, struggling with the pull of the online world - that's how many of us feel right now. Training a frazzled mind to embrace calm isn't easy. For over forty years, Easwaran dedicated himself to teaching meditation and the wisdom of slowing down. When the mind is unhurried, it is calm, kind, ready for anything, aware of what really matters amidst the clamor of a busy day. The secret is to learn to live in the present, to train our minds to work steadily and with one-pointed attention, however many tasks confront us. Through stories and parables, backed up by practical advice, Easwaran gives us gentle illustrations of a wiser way to live. As we read, we find ourselves in situations where we may get impatient or upset - standing in line, dealing with difficult colleagues, shopping with children with agendas of their own - but as Easwaran relates each event, we see it from the perspective of an unhurried mind. And we see small ways to change how we respond, opening the door to rich, loving relationships, creative and productive work, and a quiet sense of joy that can permeate our lives.

Taking Care of Our Own: A Year in the Life of a Small Hospital
by Susan GarrettGarrett's compelling depiction of the hospital in York, Maine, that she administered for six years becomes her occasion to examine what she terms the "fix" today's medical practitioners find themselves in. Noting that market competition has not contained medical costs, she shows us the turf battles within the system as her not-for-profit hospital attempts to reinvent itself to survive. What services should be added to compete in the hospital marketplace? Contract for a traveling CAT scanner owned by a for-profit firm? Institute a cardiology lab, a market niche? The 79-bed, 80-year-old York Hospital is vexed by its perceived mandate to take care of its own. Along with the affluent summer folk, the hospital's "neighbors" include the likes of homeless Tim Bailey, who turns up with chest pains each Christmas Eve and is hospitalized so he needn't be alone for the holidays; Elizabeth Littlejohn, a 19-year-old bulimic with a hospital bill of $76,000, who defaults on her $10 monthly payments and whose dirt-poor family has looked to York Hospital for social services for three generations. As Garrett ruminates on what hospitals should contribute to their communities, she vivifies the daily happenings at her own. And if she doesn't have ready answers, Garrett, who is now a freelance writer, makes us ponder the price of valuing too highly the cold logic of cost-benefit analysis.
