Monday, December 30, 2013. A walk in the park. To start the 2012 New Year, I joined a handful of others and jumped in the pacific ocean. Ya, not that great of a feat, considering on previous New Years I’ve jumped in Lake Washington. But none the less – it was still invigorating and a fun way to launch into the New Year. As of yet, I haven’t decided what this New Year will entail? I’m not sure what will signify the start of 2014. Over the past few months I’ve thought a lot about the word “holi...We all kn...

ONE SCOOT FORWARD: immigration, meaning, perspective

Monday, January 27, 2014. Immigration, meaning, perspective. He had been detained. He was in an immigration holding facility. He was awaiting a decision, a direction. When I dialed my phone that day (just about 2 weeks ago) I had no idea who I was calling, or what was going on in their lives. This is often the case isn’t it? Sometimes this is even the case with longtime friends. Sometimes even the case with family. For it is within our daily interactions with one another that we find meaning. A liste...

Monday, February 3, 2014. Intuition or something more? Since I was already in the car, had already paid for the books that accompanied the conference, and had to pick-up the books at the event – I pressed on. I arrived to the venue, found a seat, and did my best to wrap my attention around what was being shared. To my surprise, my attention was quickly averted (and not by my doing)! Before lunch my wife called. My son’s preschool called. He broke his arm. And what role does it play? Subscribe to: Post Co...
