Blog post“But it’s so hard, you know
To believe on your own
That you’ll be okay
When sorrow keeps chasing me down”
There is a good thing about being an “artistic soul” who feels acutely the stark fallenness of this world filled with death and heartache and who sometimes weeps with the intensity of the beauty that pierces through it. There’s a good thing about being prone to knotting up inside with worry and anxiety over dozens of things that don’t need to be worried about. Those -
Blog post“Ca! Dieu aide au Maréchal!” (God help the Marshal!) – William Marshal’s war cry[1]
Considered one of the brightest blooms of the flower of chivalry by the time he died, William Marshal started life among the rank of a castle servant and ended life an English Earl. Much of what we know about William comes from an Old French poem L’Histoire de Guillaume le Maréchal. This work was commissioned by William’s son and was probably based on his friend and squire John d’Erley’s -

Blog postIf I could have one superpower, I might make it the power of Externavision (not really trademarked, just in case you were wondering). I refer to the power to see myself from the outside in. Empathy is the ability to see another person’s feelings through their own eyes, Externavision is the ability to see yourself through another person’s eyes.
How would the way I live my life change if I thought more often about how my wife, my kids, my parents, my friends, my coworkers, and clie -
Blog postYes, folks, it’s that time of year! Time to celebrate Adam’s Eve and Snakymas Day , the holiday preceding Thanksgiving and Christmas! A time-honored and cherished tradition! (Well, at least since last year…)
What better than to celebrate a made-up holiday from my own book? I even convinced some of my kids it was a real holiday. But made up or not, we had fun acting silly and making (and eating!) many apple dishes.
Here’s a look into our couple days of random celebration. -
Blog post“Quae tribuit deus, ante oculos non semper habemus.”
“We do not always have before our eyes the things God has bestowed.”[1]
his proverb was recorded from a common folk of 11th century Belgium by a priest named Egbert of Liége in a collection of saying he wrote down in Latin to help his students. Egbert titled his work Fecunda Ratis, or The Well Laden Ship. This metaphorically implied his pupils would benefit morally and intellectually from wise sayings as they tr -
Blog postThis morning I asked my 6-year-old daughter Geneva what animal I should blog about. She said “spiders!” and “coconuts!” Hm…. It sounds like I may need to talk to her about the difference between animal and vegetable.
Speaking of which, is a coconut a vegetable or a fruit? I’m not sure. Or is it a mammal? It does, after all, make milk, though it doesn’t feed its young – at least not while anyone is looking. The coconut is a rather strange beast. It’s a nut (like my kids), but it’s as b -
Blog postWell, today is a day of not working. I don’t just mean that I have the day off, which is fantastic, but the TV isn’t working right, the car isn’t working right, the mini-split isn’t working at all, the internet is spotty, my computer is just limping along… My kids aren’t even working for that matter, just throwing Legos all over the house and screaming at each other as loudly as possible… Oh, and stayed up half the night and kept my lovely wife exhausted out of her mind. I work. I work a lot.

Blog postWhat is the secret to effective chivalry? One can read about the ideals and commandments of chivalry all day (thanks in large part to a chap named Leon Gautier). But how do you actually take ideals and morph them into practices and habits lived out? Wouldn’t it be great if we could ask a real knight that question, preferably a scholarly knight who’d seen battle with a sword and battle with the intellect? Fortunately, we can, in a sense. That’s because Ramon Lull, a 13th century Majorcan knigh
