Guessing we picked something north of 500 lbs of #avocados from our trees today. Will be making some personal deliveries, and then the San Diego Food Bank folks will be very happy to see me tomorrow. #guacamole #food #foodbank

I have never been sure where "Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning" applies. Not here. Sunrise in Poway, CA and no storms today.

Whew! Took a lot of prep to summarize 30 weeks of Wisdom Road down to a 12 min talk, but the feedback was great! Much more to come.

I am so stoked that the National Association of Independent Schools decided to borrow the title of my last book, and re-branded their annual conference as the Thrive Conference! :) #education

One of my favorite quotes from people I interviewed for my upcoming book, Wisdom Road. Mike is a rancher in south Texas. #BeingHuman #kindness #civility

Introduced by our son and daughter in law to acrylic pour painting over the holidays. Loads of fun and practically impossible to mess up. Can only imagine Acid Tests back in the day if they had these! :)

Miss Booteé may have been the poorest person I interviewed on #WisdomRoad; on her porch in a poor town in one of the poorest counties in the MS Delta in the poorest state in America. But she was rich in wisdom and a joy to sit and learn from. #humankind

George cleaned the golf cleats of often bigoted White men at a fancy country club in San Antonio for 40 years. This is what he told me when I interviewed him for #WisdomRoad. #humankind #edusky

In San Diego, beautiful winter sunsets often preview Santa Ana winds and fire season, which means we have been without power and internet for two days now. I learned our lesson a few years ago and got a small generator to keep the fridge cold and a few outlets charged!

A new slide for my #WisdomRoad workshop deck; getting into the right head space to engage and learn from someone who is likely VERY different from you in important ways, particularly political.

"A fractal is a way of seeing infinity." ~Benoit Mandelbrot. I find the concept of fractals in so many things beyond math; it applies in much of what we experience in the world around us, including how people think and see life. That's just me. #WisdomRoad #humankind

How is the day after Thanksgiving treating you? We enjoyed a wonderful late fall sunset here at home northeast of San Diego.

I wrote this, sort of a Mobius Strip syllogism, at the end of my #EdJourney, and it may become the signature image of 30 weeks and 20K miles on the road. Please share, and let's see if anyone can come up with a solution. #humankind

Miss Gina is an example of the purely serendipitous meetings I had along #WisdomRoad; she was my Lyft driver one morning in Lafayette, and it was like I had prepped her with my core question a week in advance, except I had not. #edusky #humankind #wisdom

At the gorgeous Mohonk Mountain House in NY to give a keynote tomorrow on my #WisdomRoad journey. Bottom line: even wisdom does not flourish without the fertile ground of shared humanity. #behuman #humankind #edusky #education

Media literacy and listening to "others" may be the two most critical skills we can teach going forward if we want to preserve or defend the Great American experiment. Two of my huge lessons from my 20K mile Wisdom Road journey.
