What is there to honor? My fascination with the unknown, the promise of emergence where the past meets the future right in front of us. For me, career cannot be shackled by the distinctions that divide work from whatever it’s divided from. Life is work. That I help wealthy families and those who hope to support them makes sense right now. It will only continue to make sense to the extent that it is an honoring of my holy ground of the unknown in human life and development.

Delusions of Adequacy
My greatest trouble comes from thinking that I am up to a project when, in fact, I have to change significantly for it to succeed.

Many like to say we create our own reality. I used to think so, too. However, research (mine) shows that the number of facts of existence over which we have absolutely no influence is far beyond our ability to comprehend. Our lives are a dance with the universe, not a reign of control over it.
The three most dangerous words: “I got this.”
Just happy to be her dad…
