I like marriage. It can be a painfully distorted condition. But at its best it’s the most powerful statement a couple can make as to their mutual faith in the power of love over fear. I’m happy for William and Katherine, royal bride and groom. I hope they’re able to build something of sense in […]

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.” Wendell […]

Gifted and creative individuals often have a hard time at parties – or any other social gathering – for these reasons: – Their sense of the value of time makes it hard for them to communicate without a specific purpose. So if they’re not looking for a hook-up or a job, for example, they become […]

Mary hates herself because she’s short and rounded; Robert despises his narrow chest and receding chin; Yvonne detests her curls; Colin abhors being bald.
