One out of every five kids in Oklahoma doesn’t always have enough food to eat. No child should have to sit in class hungry and unable to focus. It hurts their ability to learn, disrupts the class for the teacher, and results in worse outcomes for our educational system.

Even when we start very young, such as at age 12 or 15, we come to writing with a rich inner life. We have had so many thoughts, ideas, fantasies, and opinions. When we first start writing, what we're doing is practicing giving a tangible form to those thoughts. You can see your inner voice on the page. You're used to talking to yourself inside your head, but now that voice is visible to you and it can talk to others.

The Dao De Jing teaches that nothing is more soft and yielding than water, and yet nothing is more powerful.

People think that softness […]| Galen Pearl

How do we establish authentic connections? How do we get in touch with one another in such a way that we are both honoured in what we are, and yet we remain fully open to the other? As constitutively relational beings, we can’t avoid this sort of questions.

To some extent, this social scaffolding is necessary and helpful. Yet, it a...| Dhammavicaya

Turning 38 in a bit more than a month from now, I’m discovering that there is a truth in distinguishing different phases in life.

I spend quite some time without thinking much at anything. Often when I walk, or sit, or just attend to ordinary activities, I like being quiet and silent inside.
