Score: Darkness 2, Light 1,000,000

April 19, 2013

I am a Bostonian. We have had a tough week here.  We suffered a violent act of darkness as two young men attacked us, killing 3, critically injuring and maiming scores of others, and attempting to shake our individual and communal senses of security and trust. They failed.  Resoundingly. And so, even in the midst of this crisis, we have had a great week here.  Everything that is the best in us, in humanity, is on full display:  love, compassion, fearlessness in the face of danger, generosity, strength, selflessness, kindness, commitment to community, protection of others, clarity, … [Read more...]

It Is About Being

September 27, 2011

You never know where or when or how a little insight might find its way into your consciousness.  And sometimes it comes in the least likely places.  I had just such an experience recently, while I was traveling in France.  This is a true story of human nature, of love and regret, of life and experience, and of hope and comfort.  It was such a touching encounter, I was moved to write about it as it unfolded.

New Math: Subtracting From Your Mind

August 29, 2010

What do you yearn for, and where does it direct you? As we savor the last sweet days of summer, and many prepare for school, I have been thinking about this.  And about the nature of the scholar and inner learning. What is it we really want?  What are we studying and learning and trying to achieve in this life? We live in both our inner and our outer experiences, and the emphasis on one or the other ebbs and flows, and perhaps the balance shifts over time.  But the outer distractions have a way of taking over.  It is important to find ways and means of attending to our inner growth and … [Read more...]

Declare Your Independence!

July 2, 2010

Do you remember who you are? As we turn to July 4th and celebrate the declaration of freedom, I am reminded that political independence is necessarily founded upon a deeply held value of personal independence. It is your birthright to be your unique self. By self, I mean you in all your aspects, inner and outer, full and strong and beautiful and wholly integrated. This seems such a simple statement. Yet, we face all sorts of obstruction, much of it well meaning, that nevertheless suppresses our abilities to thrive in “full-selfness” and be and give from our individuality and our … [Read more...]
