I haven’t had time to think about a blog recently. We traveled to California and to New York so that our daughter could visit the campuses of her top-choice schools. We waited until the very last minute so that we could all be vaccinated before traveling. Now, she has made her decision, and we are focused on the final weeks of school and graduation. I have also been busy working in the garden here at home. This is the first spring in a very long time that I have had the time to do it. I find that this work with the earth allows me to practice awareness and presence in ways that I have missed very much.
I am in the middle of Isabel Wilkerson’s book Caste and find her words and ideas filling my thoughts throughout the day. The book is clear and compelling. The argument she presents is powerful and strong. I will write more about it later but highly recommend it to everyone and have already ordered Warmth of Other Suns to read next.
