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.”

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 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)
