I’m getting set to head into a period of silent retreat here at the remarkable mountain cabin in New Hampshire. Starting mid-week next week I will put the wireless modem out of reach and head into silence for a while.
It’s another one of those moments, for me, of choosing. How this next chapter will unfold. I had some professional work evaporate in a very weird way (power, money, fear, control, greed – all in play and all playing out as they so often do) and I’ve had some relationship moments detonate in my consciousness – in ways that have me wondering and reflecting on a lot of things.
As I look at all this stuff, with a weather eye on economic survival, I’ve also been dipping in and out of thoughtful pieces from people who steep themselves in politics and public policy. Here is a piece by Frank Rich (who was, in my view, the best columnist on the New York Times editorial page until he left for New York Magazine a while ago) on the Republican Party and what is happening here in the world’s only hyper-power. And here is a piece from The Guardian newspaper (one of few media outlets that still does investigative, thoughtful journalism), a year in review of where we are environmentally and ecologically.
I may or may not be writing much here. We’ll see. Always wishing you well, whoever and wherever you are.
