We want the spring to come

A good call to come back to the moment…

Live & Learn

We want the spring to come
and the winter to pass.
We want whoever to call
or not call,
a letter,
a kiss —
we want more and more and then more of it.
But there are moments,
walking,
when I catch a glimpse of myself in the window glass,
say, the window of the corner video store,
and I’m gripped by a cherishing so deep
for my own blowing hair,
chapped face,
and unbuttoned coat that I’m speechless:
I am living …

4 Steps to Building Better Family Media Boundaries

A good friend of mine relayed to me recently that “I wish we hadn’t been so lax on our technology boundaries with the kids.” Their kids all use cell phones, all spend time in their room on laptops or iPads, spend some hours each day either playing video games or watching TV. Believe it or not, it wasn’t always this way, but it just…grew, piece by piece. Now, is it possible to turn the clock back? Really?

How I Poison Myself

“The three poisons are passion (this includes craving or addiction), aggression, and ignorance (which includes denial or the tendency to shut down and close out).

We would usually think of these poisons as something bad, something to be avoided. But that isn’t the attitude here; instead, they become seeds of compassion and openness.”

~ from “Three Methods for Working With Chaos,” Pema Chodron, Shambhala Sun, March 1997

Your Destiny Is Never Tied To Anyone

My Positive Outlooks

When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn’t mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over. — TD Jakes

Pushing back on mediocre professors

Now that I am a professor, I need to revisit this…

Bright, shiny objects!

College costs a fortune. It takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of money.
When a professor assigns you to send a blogger a list of vague and inane interview questions (“1. How did you get started in this field? 2. What type of training (education) does this field require? 3. What do you like best about your job? 4. what do you like least about your job?”) I think you have an obligation to say, “Sir, I’m going to be in debt for ten years because of this degree. Perhaps you could give us an assignment that actually pushes us to solve interesting problems, overcome our fear or learn something that I could learn in no other way…”
When a professor spends hours in class going over concepts that are clearly covered in the textbook, I think you have an obligation to repeat the part about…
