August 30–Return Again: To the Present

August 29–Return Again: Human Dignity

I am prone to rush to judgment. I also know that doing so is almost always a bad idea that comes with bad results. My bad judgments are almost always around pieces of information. Never about the complete information. What … Continue reading
Return Again: Who, What, Where
Who are you? What are you? Where are you? Those three questions, core to the structure of Shlomo Carlebach’s song, call us to three basic and deep considerations: our being, our doing and our journey. I wonder what you believe … Continue reading
