  • Good, Rev Martin Luther King, and the Vocation of ‘Unenforceable Obligations’

    “I’ve been to the mountaintop And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.”    MLK “True integration will be achieved by true neighbors who are willingly obedient to…

  • Good and Better Words than Mine

    I think I can give you, the reader, and me, a writer a break now and then by simply sharing powerful messages from better minds.  In this case Poet Laureate Joy Harjo writes about monsters and the forms they take even in this age of ‘rationality’. When I skim the media I feel like I…

  • Good, Nurturance, Flirting with a Painful Disaster and the Long Game

    For many reading this website the short game is already lost for at least four to ten years. The Nurturance Community is part of the developmental long game that could occupy us who are living now in a multi-generational mission of good while preparing the way for our loved future generations. This is a slightly…

  • Good and the World of Hungry Stereotypes

    (a brief digression in prep for Inauguration Day) At some deep, embarrassing, defensive level this writer sometimes feels made to feel like he lives in one of the most disliked demographics in the world today; the older, white, middle class American male. I think I am feeling the disquieting bite of a ‘counter-stereotype’. The point…

  • 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. …
