Today, I was both humbled and honored to see an article I wrote on the intersection of the faith community and the labor movement – a subject I consider extremely important – appear on Salon.com. Please read, enjoy, share – and tell me where you stand on this issue. In a daily mass last month,ContinueContinue reading “The Wizard Featured in Salon”

WARNING: Action and Excitement to Follow (Let’s Talk About Grass)
You may have heard the expression, “It’s like watching grass grow,” meaning that something is very boring. Today, we’re going to up the ante a little and talk about the grass growing. And how exciting and action-packed it is. When people use the word mindfulness, it can usually be taken to loosely refer to aContinueContinue reading “WARNING: Action and Excitement to Follow (Let’s Talk About Grass)”
Feel the Water Flowing Through You, Maaaaan – It’s Spring!

It was a little weird, IContinueContinue reading “A Secular Love-Hate Relationship with Lent”
The World is (Probably) Ending Tomorrow
That’s what the evidence suggests, anyway. I see very little purpose to turning away from it – or perhaps I just can’t. The truth is, I think about the end of the world pretty much all the time. People who know me well would tell you that I talk about it all the time, too, butContinueContinue reading “The World is (Probably) Ending Tomorrow”
