Dear friends,

I have not been keeping up with posting in the past few years, as life and work have been busy. But in this crisis I wanted to post some notes here to help those of you who are looking for philosophical guidance through these strange and uncertain times. As always, the philosophical way is about finding and harnessing your intelligence, your creativity and your emotional depths and asking the questions that will help you to live with more wisdom, conviction and courage. To live philosophically is to wonder about the world we live in and our human ways of making meaning in order to increase our power to live fully. We have no choice about what happens to us, and sometimes what happens to us is terrible and frightening. What we can choose are our responses to what happens to us. We can choose to reflect, consider and respond in the healthiest and most affirmative ways available to us, rather than being reactive or just going along with the conventional discourses or the latest fads in thinking, or sinking into despair. What I offer here are my own thoughts and reflections as I try to tune out the noise and tune into deeper revelations and opportunities.
