&lt;p&gt;      &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=passion"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;passion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, n. &amp;ldquo;3.a. boundless enthusiasm&amp;rdquo;  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=compassion"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;compassion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, n. &amp;ldquo;deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kosmic Blogging 101&lt;/strong&gt; is blogging with an awareness that has a passion to transcend and include everything with compassion and critical thinking. Or simply, blogging with passion and compassion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was based on two essays:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2003/11/iblog_integral_.html"&gt;Blogging with Passion and Compassion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/02/kosmic_blogging.html"&gt;Kosmic Blogging 101: How to Blog, What to Blog, Why the heck Blog, and Whatnot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Treat those two essays, not as dogma, but as suggestive guidelines. Feel free to make up your own along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;more on this later&amp;hellip;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Welcome. May we all swallow the blogosphere in a single gulp.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
