It’s Christmas and Time to Prepare for a Beautiful Week

It’s Christmas and Time to Prepare for a Beautiful Week

Amy December 25, 2020 Leave a comment

Every time I come here to write lately, I’m surprised that this blog has so few entries. I keep forgetting that I just moved my blog because I’ve changed blogs so many times. If I think back and try to count, I’ve had around 9 (maybe more) different blogs over …

I Put Every Piece In Place

I’m frustrated. Why? It’s everything. It’s nothing. I woke up feeling this way. Actually, I’m a little better now than I was when I first woke up. I made my way to a cafe, and I’m sitting in a secluded corner. The photo above is of a decaf soy ginger …

Last week, I was pretty stressed about the US election, but I’m feeling pretty good today. I guess I’m having a pretty common experience. I could look on the dark side and start lamenting the way almost 48% of the population voted (I haven’t checked the numbers, lately, so I …

The Long Hike Towards Publication

Amy October 26, 2020 Leave a comment

I was just making some tweaks to this website and I thought about all of the incarnations it has gone through. When I learned that websites existed in 1994, my first thought was, “I must have one.” I started my first one in 1995. It had a background that I …

This is a guest post written by Adam Valerio. Adam is a scholar who researches the intersection between science and Asian religions. I once heard a Zen Buddhist master say, “You can have everything that you want in life, as long as you don’t care what form it takes.” For …
