“Every day is like a self-addressed envelope we post to ourself. Be careful what you post in it.” I went through a phase as a kid when I collected autographs from baseball players. It was a pretty short phase—I don’t care much for baseball now—but for a few moths, I spent all my allowance on baseball …
When I was much younger, I remember being mesmerised by adult interactions. Not for the content, what interested me more was the emotional responses. I couldn’t understand why certain ideas would create vehement emotions, often with seemingly instantaneous and irrational exuberance. It made no sense to me why adults took themselves so seriously, and stuck …
Life feels heavy right now for many of us. We are all challenged these days with a lot of uncertainty. There is a great divide, and people on both sides are hurting and confused.

It’s time for love. Now, more than ever, we need it. There’s always been a lot of crazy in the world, so it’s not that there’s so much more or even less, though I understand there is less suffering than in centuries past. More people are living longer, healthier lives, and then at the same …
