"May you be happy, may you be peaceful, may you feel the love inside you and share it well." —James Baraz

My dear friend and mentor Joan Judson shared these words, which are based on Metta phrases (expressions of lovingkindness for ourselves and others.)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy New Year!
One of my intentions for 2025: more time with music, less with the news.

Attended a networking event for alumni of Dutch universities at the Consulate of the Netherlands in SF. It was my first time back at the consulate since Covid; great chats with folks from Germany, China, the U.S., Poland & the Netherlands who all attended my alma mater, the University of Amsterdam.

Riding home on Bart. There are two social workers on the busy train in Bart uniforms, with the words “Crisis Intervention Specialist” on the back of their shirt. They make it clear they aren’t cops in conversations with riders. They make me feel safer than the police would.
