  • Good, Nurturance and Cultural Suicide.

    The quality and strength of the  nurturance communities a culture builds and sustains around the health of it’s future generations is the predictor of that culture’s future, if there is to be a future.  Our culture is in trouble because the data tells us our children are in trouble. Too many of our children are…

  • Good, LA Fire, Doing Good, and the Horse’s Petuny

    The California LA fires will eventually go out and the daunting work of recovery will begin. LA like any community in America has a middle class and a lot of people working hard and on the edge. It is not exclusively an enclave of wealthy movie stars, millionaires and billionaires as you might guess if…

  • Good and Back to the Mining of Good

    The outrageous political news cycle these days and the California wild fires share at least this in common; there are days in our lives when life seems to slip beyond our grasp, control, or even influence. Our family has a family member in the Los Angeles County fire evacuation zone living in that space where…

  • Good, Grief, Jan 6 and DD Day

    For people living outside the Meta-trance, January 6 is our American democracy’s second  Day of Infamy. That is why when this day opened with the next administration promising celebrating and exoneration for the convicted perpetrators of the January 6 crimes this writers emotions erupted into a turmoil of anger and helplessness. But what is the ‘good’…

  • Good, Safety, Children, and What Matters Most

    The furies of this day are tomorrow’s dust in the wind. Making this world safe for today’s children is making the world safe for the future’s adults. Overcoming the meta-trance that makes this world so unsafe today is more than a one generation project. If you are an adult today this deep cut into the…

  • Good, Distraction, and the True Sense Radical

    How do we break through this divisive trance? In earlier Posts we have looked at the difference between the extremist and the true radical. The point was the extremist plays the shallow ends of the political spectrum. The true sense radical goes off the linear right/left spectrum and deeper in the human considerations of need. …

  • Good, Crime upon Crime, and Exploiting Tragedy

    Recently a woman was murdered on a subway. She was set on fire by her attacker. This is an unimaginably cruel act and a horrible way to die. But the abuse doesn’t stop there. The 57-year-old victim’s name was Debrina Kawam. Her tragic ending deserves to be left here in peace as there is nothing we can say…

  • Good and the Passing of a President

    Can you imagine a President of this country who worked tirelessly after his term in office to directly and personally build housing for people living in poverty, was instrumental in reducing to almost elimination river blindness, created international programs to monitor elections buttressing democracies and worked for racial justice? Sounds today after this last season…

  • Good, Deep History, and the Vatman’s Tears

    To create a moment in history like ours today, you need to ignore two things; deep history and the facts of the day. The facts are here for us to use and abuse. But history lies in the root system of life and one must actually work to excavate the patterns of the deep story.…

  • Good, Simple Good Fun and Street Healing

    Someone told me recently that I missed my calling and should have been a writer.   The comment confused me.  I have only been 75 years old for less than a year and am already writing.  “What is the rush:?” I ask myself.  Have fun thinking that opening paragraph through. Sometimes it is ok to have…
