Lessons Learned From Weathering a Storm

How do we weather the storms in life? This question matters to me not only because I’ve needed to get through my personal dangerous and disorienting storms and also not only because I worry about basement flooding or losing electricity in a blizzard. This question is also about the big Read more…

Transforming Self, Transforming World

The swirl of life continues! I’m of course always hoping for the day when things are quiet and I can catch up and take care of things like backing up my computer. But the truth is that we are living in times of escalating crisis. Even without the ongoing political Read more…

A New Culture of Place

I love that local pride sells. There are cute t-shirts with the phone area code for Minneapolis. I’ve drooled over the many lovely shirts out there with the shape of the state of Minnesota and a heart on the inside. I think these shirts are all interesting because we are Read more…

She persists! Wisdom dances!

There are two feet of fresh snow outside and it can be hard to remember that it’s April and we really are moving towards spring. The news is full of crises and one could easily lose doubt that there is a larger evolutionary impulse towards more love. How do we Read more…

Waking Up is Hard to Do

More Alive

I love the tradition of reviewing the year. What a wild year this has been! Sometimes its mind boggling to just review the day’s news and catastrophes of a month ago are so quickly subsumed by the next urgent thing. So while I get so much out of reviewing my Read more…

The opportunity on the other side of overwhelm.

The Mississippi is very high right now and that’s how my life feels to me too. I can barely keep up with all the painful disasters both “natural” and “human-made.” When I get overwhelmed it helps me to go to the rushing waters and be brought back into the flow. Read more…

Messy Transitions

I know I must be in transition when I have another one of my dreams about needing to pack up everything from college and get on a flight. Usually I have only an hour before I need to leave and haven’t begun packing. These packing-up-school dreams usually stress me out Read more…

How do we frame these times?

It’s so difficult to hold all the danger and uncertainties around us and stay active, engaged, and creative! In a single day I cycle through a bunch of different frames of mind, each with its own level of adrenaline, fear, anger, courage, and hope. Fortunately I know what shuts me Read more…
