Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. June 1, 2016. 8220;Magical thinking” has a lot of different specific definitions, but I use it to mean thinking–though it is often less conscious than that–that because one wants something to be so, or needs it to be so, or thinks that it must or should be so,. But the fact is that, in the vernacular, shit happens. Yes, everything has a cause, but the world is ...

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. Divisiveness in the current election? Where do we go from here? Halloween, death, and also life. October 31, 2016. I have always liked Halloween. I grew up Catholic, and Halloween is followed two days later by All Souls’ Day. That time also includes El Día de Muertos. It is a time for thinking about death and those who have gone into it. In a real sense, the dead a...

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. August 9, 2016. Everyone who goes online, I think, has heard the line “someone is wrong on the Internet.” I find myself less bothered by those who are wrong (in my opinion) than by those who are absolutely unshakably convinced they are right–even if I agree with them on the point at hand. I am dismayed by the tendency of so many to take a sincere “why? The latest n...

Divisiveness in the current election? | Carrying It with Me

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. Halloween, death, and also life. Divisiveness in the current election? October 12, 2016. It’s something a lot of people are talking about, usually blaming those who think differently than they do. It’s discouraging, but appears to be true, that while conditions have improved (with still far to go in most cases! Over the course of my lifetime, for minorities, women,...

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. Look before you leap. November 10, 2016. One of the smartest people I have ever known believes there is no significant difference between thinking and feeling. I strongly disagree with this. It may be true for some tiny minority of humans–those whom Anne Rice has a character refer to in. Interview with the Vampire. About what you’re going to do. UNDERSTAND. I can s...

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. July 26, 2016. I know this will not go down well with some, but when did I ever let that stop me? But I ask that if you read this at all, you read it through to the end, and I beg you to THINK about it. And I agree with that. It’s the political tradition I was raised in . But I understand why the DNC has pushed for her so hard, and I am puzzled as to why other Bern...

Election 2016 | Carrying It with Me

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. Divisiveness in the current election? October 6, 2016. I take this presidential election very seriously and very personally. So I take the possibility of a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic president damn personally.

Carrying It with Me. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. September 1, 2016. Partly because I have some bisexual friends, I have been seeing posts on Facebook and elsewhere, both from them and with links to others, about “bisexual erasure.” (If you don’t know what it is, please use Google.) This erasure comes, it seems, from both heterosexual and homosexual people. But–as I think we all know well–a lot of peop...Everyone ...
