About the vote or the voter?

As social media ramps up advertising for Georgia’s U.S. Senate Runoff, no one has taken a breath. No moment of reflection to consider how it is that Georgians find themselves in this position again. …

Conversation

Another day, another mass shooting. Followed by shouts from those individuals who sit at the extremes of the argument. Those of us in the middle, heartbroken, outraged, and just plain confounded, can find no space to speak between the noise of extreme edges. In thinking about the mass shootings, my…

Writing Habits

I started a blog on spirituality about a year ago. The writing happens when I’m inspired. Not forcing myself to show up and be…whatever. Read a post this morning from Tom Kugler (Writing is Like Being in a Fight) on medium, and it’s bugging me. …

I Miss Cheese

The journey we call life offers opportunities and cautionary tales. I am not on a special diet. I’ve just figured out that cheese causes my back pain to inflame and exacerbate my pain as well as my will to persevere. I am a child of the late 70’s and the…

Shifting How We Decide

This week I watched a young judge, new to the job but also younger than me, make a decision. For many people, this would not be a watchable event. The system seems to be a mathematical formula, a calculation to be accomplished without much fanfare. Yet this young judge used…

Shadows Tell the Story: How the Justice System (Mal)functions

Preparing for court this week, I found myself pondering the concepts that underpin our justice system. A client asking for help, being told by the system, “it’s too late, this time, should’ve asked sooner.” The U.S. philosophy of criminal sentencing anchors in the idea that excluding a person deemed antisocial…
