This blog

 I think about things a lot. When I see family, loved ones, colleagues, and even just acquaintances, I share my ideas. But I've always wanted to write more, to share them with a wider audience, and hear back from people who engaged with them and can offer complementing or alternative perspectives. What keeps me from doing so are the deadly twins of perfectionism and vanity (or concern with how I'm perceived). I've come to realize that I need to trash both of those, that my growth and healing as a human being depends on it. 

So here goes: a blog dedicated to sharing all the random ideas percolating in my head, as well as practices I'm adopting in my life. I know that some day (probably not too far off) I will look back at some of them and realize that I was off. Worse, I'm sure the folks reading will come to that realization much earlier than me, and let me know about it. It may be uncomfortable, but I'll get over it. I do think that I have creative ideas about the world and our place in it, and I hope that some of the things I write will generate enthusiasm and debate, and help folks think about things differently and adopt more wholesome and liberatory practices and routines in their lives and communities. So it's worth it.
