I’ve been a little preoccupied with my future again as of late. I think it might have something to do with being so energetic and happy most of the time these days and wanting to hold onto that. Beware attachment! My Buddhist training warns. I heed it. . . I also hear the resounding bells of discove ...

I am sad today. Worse, I’m not surprised by what is sucking at my will to believe in our society. Once again, a state put same-sex marriages to a vote, and once again, the voters failed miserably.
