As part of the service work I do, I send out a monthly newsletter at each new moon. I’ve been doing it for ten years now, and I’m no longer surprised when people write back and share what they’re feeling/thinking and often the responses seems to share a theme. Many people told me yesterday that […]

I think a lot about paradox. I don’t actually know how you can be in this world and not think about it. Life is, we are, complex, and while it seems our culture and these times in general urge us into surface-y reactions and superficial interactions, I know that’s not what any of us really […]

Have I already had the best read of 2020? Time will tell, but I will say I do love books that linger in my mind long after […]

Both because I feel like I have so much stuff backed up that I want to talk about, and ironically because that very condition creates an I-don’t-know-where-to-begin stuckness.
