The Illusion of Control

March 5, 2015

Here in Boston we have suffered a difficult and seemingly endless winter. Frigidly cold temperatures and mountains of snow—over 100 inches in just the last 8 weeks alone! There’s been plenty of collateral damage for many people, in the form of lost work, lost school, lost income, the breakdown of the public transportation system and other infrastructure elements, increased costs for everything, especially snow removal, heat, and repairs, and more—all adding to the cumulative stress that comes with enduring such a long and bitter winter. In the midst of all this I had a quite unexpected … [Read more...]

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.

We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For

December 22, 2012

As we arrive at this time of endings and new beginnings, I have been in deep contemplation, seeking to understand what is going on in the world around us, and wondering about our human station, as we mourn twenty young children, and six of their teachers, from Newtown, Connecticut.  Blessings upon them, their parents, their teachers, families and friends, and all of us.  They have served well, reminding us in unbearable sacrifice of themselves, of the truth and what matters, and moving us to take action now and do what we need to do, to be our best selves, in the fullness of the best that is … [Read more...]

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...]
