At midnight I step down as exec director of Radical Joy for Hard Times, the organization I founded in 2009 to find and make beauty in broken places. I will devote myself fully to writing. Also some teaching & speaking about ways to honor the Earth. Feeling awed, scared, proud, moved & crazy-excited!

When I think somebody expects something from me on a regular basis, the Imp of the Perverse compels me to quit doing it for a while. My strange inner battle with social media.

Being in Egypt last month jolted my perception of the trumpian crisis. “For 10,000 years we’ve been ruled by pharaohs, conquered by Greeks, conquered by Romans, by Christians, by Muslims, by the British, ruled by an autocrat then by police, then by religious extremists. Get a grip, America!”

This morning I climbed hundreds of steps to the tomb of Khufu in the Great Pyramid. It was early. No one but the guard was there. For a minute he did his spiel about the weight of the huge granite slabs. Then he led me around to the back of the tomb, pointed to the floor. “Sit. Meditate.” So I did.
