Don Strickland quotes Browning Ware:

Faith is the translation of difficulty into the language and action of hope. Faith receives, endures and transforms unattractive, even devastating, episodes and passages by the confidence that one's life has meaning that is grander than any awesome adversary. The substances of that meaning reside within us and our circumstances, but its fuller realization races beyond us.

Wiser travelers than I report that faith's potential pulses within us, but its source emanates from beyond us. It rises from springs of reality that are deeper than we are deep and reaches towards images of hope that we have not yet envisioned.

~ Browning Ware, Diary of a Modern Pilgrim

Ross Mayfield blogs a pretty useful S+B article on social networks. 9 networks:

1. Trust
2. Advice
3. Communication
4. Work
5. Social
6. Innovation
7. Expert Knowledge
8. Career Guidance and Strategy
9. Learning

And:

• They run in parallel.
• They affect each other.
• There are patterns of emphasis among them.
• State transitions (evolution of emphasis) are predictable and can be influenced.

I need to read the original article and work my way back to original sources.
