Buddhist Jill Satterfield Dispatches a Message from a Monastery in England
Re-acquainting the Heart with Space
No matter what our work in the world might be, we all lose some of our inner space from time to time. Even though my work is what I consider to be skillful and helpful to others, running a business of any kind requires logistical thinking, planning and organization of oneself and others.
Being here in the monastery has given me the greatest gift of all, space—I remember again what it feels like, allows for in the heart, provides for in the mind. I am at home anywhere in the world with it, and happy with anything because of it.
The Best North Brooklyn Street Art of 2011
El Sol 25 is no stranger to local street art lovers, but this year this talented artist outdid himself. Known for his hand-painted images that look like a zany remix of pop culture, his images — like the one in the center — all are original, multi-layered, and eye catching. On the left, you can also see a fantastically neon-colored series by Celso that was handprinted in Peru in the popular Chicha poster style. The series definitely stood out from the crowd.
North Brooklyn is indisputably an epicenter of street art. Whether it is the amazing homegrown talent painting murals, the local artists who dabble in art out in the open, visiting artists from Europe or Australia who leave their mark while exploring the city, or local businesses commissioning artists to create posters that are posted illegally, it’s a visual jungle out there and some of us really appreciate the role street art plays.
Recipe—Landhaus Bacon

Landhaus is a partnership between Matthew Lief, a chef, and Jakob Cirell, a butcher from Arcadian Pastures farm. They launched their farm to sandwich business this summer at the Smorgasburg in Williamsburg. Thick slabs of grilled bacon, on a stick or in a BLT, quickly became a Landhaus signature specialty.
You can find Landhaus selling sandwiches and other treats at the Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg.
Local Greek Bailout experiment continues…
Santorini Grill: “Pay what you feel the food is worth” starting November 4th for one month.
On Grand Street in Williamsburg, Paula opens her heart and her kitchen during tough times, and wants to wrap us all in warm phyllo dough of generosity.
Not all Greeks are looking for a bailout, and some are even giving one.
