Belonging and The Great Resignation
I have a sense that the American worker in the pandemic and The Great Resignation are linked in the same way that a frog is linked to the proverbial pot of slowly boiled water: There does come a tipping point when the frog notices the heat and reacts by leaping out of the pot. The pandemic gave us the chance to lift our heads long enough from the desk to notice we were uncomfortably warm at work… and we’ve jumped… and we’re still hopping!
Finding Soul Amidst the Digital Deluge
I suggest we need look no further for a diagnosis of our current mental and emotional predicament than this environment in which we are flailing and failing to flourish in a flood of information: a digital data deluge!
Becoming the Wave
The most enduring and important insight of this “riding the wave” experience was the deep sense of having been truly and fully alive – being neither in the remembering past nor the hopeful future, but in the immediacy of the present, I knew myself to be alive, to be unique, and to be joined to the great surge of Life itself…
Hope & Despair
Jean Erdman Campbell, wife of the famed mythologist, Joseph Campbell, and a famous dancer- choreographer in her own right, passed away at age 104 on May 4th of 2020. Although she is now eclipsed by her more-famous husband, for the greater part of their marriage it was Jean who was the famous personality. Hopefully, her own enormous contributions to the world of dance and theater will come to the fore again as we remember a century of glorious creativity…
Jane Jacobs & The Mothers
Rather than seeing a building which had fallen into disrepair as a rotting log that simply needed to be hauled away and the lot bulldozed for some high-rise, Jane saw every fallen log as the potential for a new ecosystem of important lifeforms that would regenerate the forest floor and thus feed the ongoing life stream of the larger ecosystem in which it was embedded.

Why Self-Care is the first step
All great endeavors are better when started after a good rest and a hearty meal . . . just ask Bilbo Baggins!
But more seriously, we have fallen prey to the pernicious idea that he who dies with the most emails in the Inbox is the winner. That’s crazy! We really don’t do a good job of taking care of ourselves. We seem to think that leisure is a dirty word or something done only by the super rich or wastrels.
The truth is that we can’t really change direction unless we’re first willing to stop. Let me show you how.
