Is Good News Underrated?

Watching the news is often an exercise in testing your endurance about crises, disasters and heart-breaking stories.  The tsunami of bad news buries the abundance of good news stories that exist. If we are what we surround ourselves with then paying attention to the good news stories alters our experience of being alive.A man I know was determined to stop watching or reading the news because he said it made him feel helpless and despondent. A friend of his challenged him – “There’s an…See More

Steps to New Year Peace?

Is it possible to imagine peace in the New Year? It is if you claim your voice and imagination. The world needs that from each of us. Every intention and act of yours shapes what it means to be human and create a culture of peace as you take steps in that direction.Peace sounds too big, too overwhelming to many.  Instead of being debilitated by what you can do to bring peace about back up and approach it from two other vantage points. Peace emerges when conflicts are resolved and ended. Peace…See More

Your Voice as Person of the Year?

The Protester has been elevated by Time Magazine to a richly deserved new status. When you claim your voice as an individual you become more fully alive. When your voice joins together with the voice of others…See More

"Relinquish the notion of being separate from the compassion within the core of your being. Then, whatever may come to you, whether it be an expression of ignorance or a deep-seeded challenge, you remain an expression of compassion…"

The Compassion Wars?

The Compassion Wars are here and they’re ugly.  The loud cheering about health insurance and booing of gay soldiers is chilling. This is not the generous hearted spirit of America at its best.  Where is the compassion that leads to hearts cracked open to discovering our common humanity and oneness with one another?Self-compassion is a journey that leads to compassions for others.  I’ve come to believe that we are each hard wired for compassion. So how does that square with what I witnessed in…See More

Silencing the Dalai Lama

The attempt to silence His Holiness the Dalai Lama is an exercise in futility akin to trying to block the flow of eternal spiritual truths. Yet this is what the government of South Africa is trying to do. Their refusal to grant him a visa to give a lecture in Cape Town in honor of his friend Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s eightieth birthday is ironic at best and, at worst,  hostile to free speech and religion.     These two iconic human beings are honored in much of the world for their willingness…See More

9/11/2001 - Stuck or Transformed?

What memories of September 11, 2001 do you have?  Was there some transformative power at work that continues to reveal itself in you today?I was up early that morning in Seattle, made coffee, returned to bed and then uncharacteristically turned on the TV. The first plane had hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. At first glance I thought it was a surreal stunt.  And then the second plane hit the South Tower.  I reached for the phone and called key staff members telling them what had…See More

MLK: Envy or the Beloved Community?

The “politics of envy” in the United States is political fodder masking a truth that Dr. Martin Luther King pointed to almost 50 years ago. He said his entire work pointed to one goal - the creation of a “beloved community” of Americans. His prescient words invite a new conversation about who we are.

The Pew Research Center reports that two thirds of Americans believe…
