Hi.

Lately I’ve been gathering a pile of thoughts and intend to share them at some point for dialogue. There’s a lot to think about these days and while I might be thinking too much I suspect many of you could be as well. The ideas swirl around super safe topics like politics, religion, career.

I’m grateful to have had honorable mentors throughout my life to chew on life topics and hopefully I’ve responded successfully along the way. For all of us there is always the question what is the best way to live. It would be vain or naïve to try and boil that down to fortune cookie answers but this is the area I’ll try to have some discussion around.**

Sorry to be vague, here’s one point on the map so to speak:

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

**discussing anything online lately is beckoning for a punishment but I’ve never been one to shy away from an opportunity.
