Blog post“The question becomes… “What’s worth doing, even if I fail?” … I don’t leap for the landing – I leap for the experience in the air. Because you can’t predict the landing.”
- Brené Brown

Blog post“The earth was warm under me, and warm as I crumbled it through my fingers. Queer little red bugs came out and moved in slow squadrons around me. Their backs were polished vermilion, with black spots. I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, wheth

Blog postALSO YOUR NEIGHBOR, “Truth is one, but the wise have given it many names.” An essay by Russell Martin
“ … Although meaning-making is, at its most basic, a neurological process — one analogous to language, for example — it is also composed of transcendent elements that can best be described as religious. Yes, we are Homo poeta, creatures obsessed with seeking meaning, but we are Homo religiosa as well, beings bent on tying and binding ourselves to the meanings we hold most dear … ”

Blog post“ Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze over the dunes, a life in which you stop and watch how a red-tailed hawk circles over a pond and a stand of pines. Get a life in which you pay attention to the baby as she scowls with concentration when she tries to pick up a Cheerio with her thumb and first finger… .
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work.< -
Blog postCONCERTO, The Journey for Peace of Pablo Casals, An Essay by Russell Martin
“… Pablo Casals was born thirteen years before the invention of the automobile and died four years after spacecraft first took men to the moon. At twenty-two, he performed selections from Fauré and Saint-Saëns for Queen Victoria, and at eighty-five he performed pieces by Mendelssohn and Schumann for John F. Kennedy. His ninety-seven years spanned one of the bloodiest eras in human history, and -

Blog postDRIVING MY FATHER HOME, An Essay by Russell Martin
“ … Yet for eighty-one years there was something in his quiet nature, in his lifelong employment of very few words, that made him essentially enigmatic, that made people want to know more of him, and for me, his only son, always there was a desire for deeper connection, for a way to feel a direct link between his life and mine, for proof that he loved this boy whom he had wrought, this man who was so different from him in so many ways. -
Blog postTHE END OF DAYS, A Handmade Map of Death, by Russell Martin
“ … We awkwardly navigate our way to the day of our demise; we move blindly, some of us, and the course for everyone is often obscure, to be sure. Perhaps it isn’t possible truly to define the destination, but at least we can scribble maps that help mark the relentless route. We can draw tentative lines on scraps of paper, if little more, watch for hands that wave us in truer directions, listen for the enlivened voices that oc -

Blog postA Newly Rich Life With Yourself, by Martha Nussbaum | Awakin.org: Do not despise your inner world. That is the first and most general piece of advice I would offer. Our society is very outward-looking, very taken up with the latest new object, the latest piece of gossip, the latest opportunity for self-assertion and status. But we all begin our lives as helpless babies, dependent on others for comfort, food, and survival itself. And even though we develop a degree of mastery and independence, we

Blog post“ All of a sudden she began to whistle. By all of a sudden
I mean that for more than thirty years she had not
whistled. It was thrilling. At first I wondered, who was
in the house, what stranger? I was upstairs reading, and
she was downstairs. As from the throat of a wild and
cheerful bird, not caught but visiting, the sounds war-
bled and slid and doubled back and larked and soared.
Finally I said, Is that you? Is that you whistling? Yes, she

Blog post“ She made her living selling words… . Her prices were fair. For five centavos she delivered verses from memory, for seven she improved the quality of dreams, for nine she wrote love letters, for twelve she invented insults for irreconcilable enemies. She also sold stories, not fantasies but long, true stories she recited at one telling, never skipping a word… . It seemed to her that selling words would be an honorable alternative. From that moment on, she worked at that profession, and was n
