READ “God and the Architect”

“If religion continues to church-it-up in pretense and inside baseball, we become like Gilbert and Sullivan operettas: great good stuff, beloved by an ever-shrinking, self-congratulating group of lovely people.”

Just the Two of Us

The Unavoidable Polymath

We see, hear, taste, feel, think, speak and act. There is exquisite integration. I see tiny children thinking with forming minds, garbling ideas, moving as they can in response: completely unaware anyone is judging them.

what… where

“It’s RIGHT, RIGHT Cross 1-14, on set – ON SET”

BANG

I clap, with all the others, snap around and get to the line.

Legacy

My father had the artery that splits to go down each leg break in 1972. He was 61.

I believe that the prime difference between buildings and other things humans construct (bridges, sculptures, cars) is that a building’s prime directive is to protect its users from the weather. Thermal protection is pretty easy, as is making a wind break and providing shade: but shedding water can be dicey.

The Virtue of Doing Hard Things

I am not big on watching.

Thus kneeling or not, the NFL is but a TV show to me, nice if I am too done to do other things, even enjoyable, as I toil on my exercise bike in the dark.

Graduation

Living near New Haven, Connecticut, it is impossible to avoid the annual freak show that is Yale’s graduation.

Always before Memorial Day. Always elbowing away Townies. Always a competitive joust of cars, humans and dinner reservations.

WHAT IS GONE IS BACK AGAIN Bruce Barber and I went to high school together 45 years ago: Over the last decade, Bruce has included me in his creative machinations, both of us trying to find connection to the world at a time of change and opportunity: This is a third iteration of a very human effort: (click here to read more)
