eThoughts : Dreaming
Build a man a fire and he’ll be warm for the night. Light a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life. Terry Pratchet I have been dreaming and it is weird. I see people—myself included—with a big hole in our beings and reaching out, kind of clumsy and yearning […]

eThoughts : More about Wanderlust
I celebrated my 25th birthday at the base of the Matterhorn that summer of 1972. I told no one and it was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. It had been a journey to get there. I had eschewed a business, a marriage, and college. I knew that I needed to get out […]

eThoughts : Cohort Communities: Housing People of Like Minds
Part of the series It’s All Been Said Before™ (© 2006), a division of Book-In-A-Drawer Publications.™ What prompted my previous cognitive meandering was a lot of email about terrorism, supporting our country, supporting our policies, etc. As I and others have said, supporting the principles our country was founded upon does not mean we have […]

eThoughts : Sacred But Not Exclusive: Part II
Part of the series It’s All Been Said Before™ (© 2006), a division of Book-In-A-Drawer Publications.™ Perhaps it’s the way things blend together, perhaps my attention is being or has been directed towards this sacred-but-not-exclusive focus, but another conversation about a different subject, broached by my friend, seemed to land on the same nail.

eThoughts : The Practice of Seeing Reality
Part of the series Conversations™ (© 2006), a division of Book-In-A-Drawer Publications.™ It is my thought that, like medical doctors, academic doctors, especially in the behavioral sciences and humanities, should call their work a practice.
