Once again, according to The Michigan Catholic, I bring you "The 20 Commandments," 10 from an authour named Daniel Berrigan, and 10 from Pope John XXIII, and between them all, they should clear up almost any quandry that may have entered your mind.

FROM DANIEL BERRIGAN, AUTHOR OF THE BOOK "10 COMMANDMENTS FOR THE LONG HAUL," PUBLISHED ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO.
1) Call on Jesus when all else fails. Call on Him when all else succeeds (except that never happens.)
2) Don't be afraid to be afraid or appalled to be appalled. How do you think the trees feel these days, or the whales, or for that matter, most humans?!
3) Keep your soul to yourself. Soul is a possession worth paying for, they're growing rarer. learn from monks, they have secrets worth knowing. (I don't honestly know as I BUY this one myself, but there it is; you decide.)
4) About practically everything in the world, there's nothing you can do. This is Socratic wisdom. However, about the few things you can do something, do it with a good heart.
5) On a long drive, there's bound to be a dull stretch or two. Don't go anywhere with someone who expects you to be interesting all the time. And don't be too hard on your fellow travelers. Try to smile after a coffee stop.(see the metaphor here?!)
6) Practically noone has the stomach to love you, if you don't love yourself. They just endure. So do you.
7) About healing: The Gospels tell us that this was Jesus' specialty, and He was heard to say "take up your couch and walk!"
8) When traveling on an airplane, watch the movie, but don't use the earphones. Then you'll be able to see what's going on, but not understand what's happening, so you'll feel right at home, little different than you do on the ground.
9) Know that sometimes the only writing material you have is your own blood.
10) Start with the impossible. Proceed calmly towards the improbable. No worry, there are at least five exits.

NEXT UP, JOHN XXIII'S DECALOGUE FOR DAILY LIVING
1)Only for today, I will seek to live the livelong day positively, without wishing to solve all the problems of my life at once.
2)Only for today, I will take the greatest care of my appearance: I will dress modestly, I will not raise my voice; I will be courteous in my behavior; I will not criticize anyone: I will not claim to discipline or improve anyone except for myself. (a tough thought for a teacher to swallow, but once again, there it is.)
3) Only for today, I will be happy in the certainty that I was created to be happy, not only in the Other World, but also in this one.
4) Only for today, I will adapt to circumstances, without requiring all circumstances to be adapted to my own wishes.
5) Only for today, I will devote 10 minutes of my time to some good reading, remembering that just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul.
6) Only for today, I will do one good deed and not tell anyone else about it.
7) Only for today, I will do at least one thing I do not like doing; and if my feelings are hurt I will make sure no one notices.
8) Only for today, I will make a plan for myself; I may not follow it to the letter, but I will make it. And I will be on guard against two evils; hastiness and indecision.
9) Only for today, I will firmly believe, despite appearances, that the Good Providence of God cares for me as no one else who exists in this world.
10) Only for today, I will have no fears. I particular, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe in goodness. Indeed, for 12 hours, I can certainly do what might cause me consternation were I to believe I had to do it my whole life.
And if none of THAT makes sense to you, there isn't much more I can tell you. They are all valid words. And admittedly, as I experienced this week, and unsolicited hug from a student who can't even articulate what she thinks about you, says more than almost anything else in the world can; it's still a tough gig, and not totally where I belong, in a special education classroom, or program, but it does make you realize you're pretty much on the right track as a professional. Your biggest task is always to believe.

Buddha Paintings Found in Nepalese Cave

KATMANDU, Nepal (May 4) - Paintings of Buddha dating back at least to the 12th century have been discovered in a cave in Nepal's remote north-central region by a team of international researchers who were tipped by a local sheep herder.
A mural with 55 panels depicting the story of Buddha's life was uncovered in March, with the team using ice axes to break through a snow path to reach the cave in Nepal's Mustang area, about 160 miles northwest of the capital, Katmandu. "What we found is fantastically rich in culture and heritage and goes to the 12th century or earlier," Broughton Coburn, a writer and conservationist from Jackson Hole, Wyo., told The Associated Press on Friday. Coburn said the main mural measured around 25 feet wide, and each panel was about 14 inches by 17 inches. The team of Nepalese, Italian and American archeologists, art experts, and climbers, were tipped by a local sheep herder who mentioned that he had seen a cave with old paintings several years ago when he took shelter from the rain. "I was overwhelmed with questions," Coburn said about the discovery. Besides the main mural, paintings were discovered on other walls of the cave which they believe were made slightly later. A nearby cave had manuscripts which were written in Tibetan language, which were photographed by the team and will be translated by experts. Coburn said the team planned to perform limited excavation, collection and cataloging of the manuscripts. The five Americans in the team included renowned mountaineer Peter Athans who has scaled Mount Everest seven times and film maker Renan Ozturk. Other members included Italian art expert Luigi Fieni and two Nepalese archaeologists.

The Top of the World
The cave was found along Nepal's northern border near the Himalayan mountains, home of Mount Everest.
"I can unequivocally say that climbing into the caves was greatly more exciting than any emotions I had on Everest," Athans said in e-mail sent from Seattle, Wash. "The opportunity to explore new ground with potentially significant discoveries imminent was far more enticing than the Everest summit." The team has refused to reveal the exact location of the caves, fearing visitors could disturb the centuries-old art.
The expedition spent three weeks in the remote mountainous area, where there are few people due to the extreme weather and barren land. "We learnt how much we don't know, how much there is to discover, explore and understand," Coburn said, adding they plan to return to the cave next spring to conduct more research. The area has for centuries been used as a major passageway between Nepal and Tibet.
