Perhaps that is why the very human emotions of loss, grief, fear, and abandonment still read […]
I Could Ask You – An Easter Poem

Peg O’Connor, Higher and Friendly Powers

I knew William James was an early giant in the study of human perception and psychology, but I never imagined there might be a connection between his work and the famous […]
Disruption is a Doorway to Creative Transformation
Disruption is a Doorway to Creative Transformation Ours is an uneasy age. Pandemic confusion and isolation, Facebook tribalism, rancorous political divisions and a general distrust of authority are stripping the rivets which have long held our civic life together. Institutions across all sectors are reeling, including organized religion, which has ceded its once unquestioned primacy […]
