My latest piece. I rather like this one. Something to ponder in the coming troubles.
“Ours is an age in which many are tempted to believe that spirituality is only about our interior lives—each of us in splendid isolation before the Great Mystery. However, spiritual disciplines in virtually all religious traditions are meant to generate love and compassion.”
What it means to practise a spirituality of ‘we’, not just ‘me’
Ours is a time which no longer knows how to use the word “we.” Instead, the terms “us and them” or “even us vs. them” dominate our discourse. How did this happen?

He's not even in office yet, and I am already exhausted by his reality game show cabinet antics. "How many know-nothings and sexual predators can I pack into one administration?! Tune in next month to find out what quisling Republicans will let me get away with!"

People who've never worked in government, people who've no knowledge abut what, say the Department of Education does, people who have no sense of the effect on a city of thousands of government employees laid off and the broader effect of the economy destabilized--these will be our "leaders" now.
Ohhhh yeah, people love it when you take away their stuff.
