Being Healthy

"Let food be thy medicine."

--Hippocrates, ancient Greek physician (460-377 BC)

Being America

Happy 4th!

Being Mindful of Others

Some years ago I met a distinguished looking young man in the library. He had a strong physique, but a slight twitch. I wanted to know more. Once an elite member of the Armed Forces, he was now living in motels. He had seen war when war wasn't declared. "Unspeakable," he kept saying. I looked for him daily, placing his hands in mine. One day he wasn’t there. I said a prayer.

Being Inspired by Others

Being Honest

Healthy skepticism necessary for democracy is not the same as the masquerading of righteousness for the purpose of attaining power.

Being Dishonest

Within the seed of every dishonest act is a kernel of our own destruction.

Being Liberals

Arianna Huffington's quote in New York Times that "the whole point that American policy needs to be redefined beyond left and right" seems to have gotten liberals riled up. But I find it interesting that these same people make excuses for the right-leaning policies of Barack Obama. Now, she's a media person and he's the president. Which has more power? Perhaps she does according to the outcry.
