I’ve been sharing perspectives and suggesting possibilities for over 10 years. Lots has changed in that short span of time, and volumes of words have been written to describe the experience. Instead of piling more opinions onto the heap, I will simply try to summarize the North Stars for my writing in as few words as possible. Here’s my shortest post ever.
Perspective begins with the realization that we are one among 8 billion humans who live on a 4 billion-year-old planet among 100 billion planets in the Milky Way Galaxy which is one among 2 trillion galaxies in the Universe. Without that beginning point, our illusions about ourselves and the world are our only sources of boundlessness.
Possibility begins with the realization that moments of hope, joy, and light can be found in even the bleakest and darkest backdrop of reality. Without that beginning point, we close down any chance for openness, equanimity, and transcendence.
May 2026 be a better year!
