Crossing the line at the inaugural Farmland 5K in my haurache sandals. Blue hat. Why was everybody wearing shoes?
Friends and readers,
The eco-philosopher and Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy describes the enduring image of the wheel as a powerful teaching symbol conveying the mystery at the heart of all life. Whether represented as the sacred hoop of the First Nations, the round table of Arthurian legend, or the mandala of the East, people in all places and times have glimpsed the deeper truths of interdependence and interconnection. And like people in all places and times, the symbols endure to remind us what has been forgotten. We are always beginning again.
This blog is beginning again. In the coming weeks it will be transitioning into my professional site and will feature new writings exploring the art & science of integrative health and wellness. Topics will include yoga therapeutics, somatic psychology, and the emerging sciences of empathy and compassion. That’s just the beginning! It will be unorthodox, provocative, and a challenge to traditional boundaries.
My personal writing and journaling will continue periodically at a new web address with a familiar name: twoheartedriver.wordpress.com. If you’d like to follow along, please click over and subscribe or bookmark the new site. The archives are already there including all old posts, pictures, and comments.
We are in the midst of a slow revolution. Was it ever not so? Happy new year and welcome to twenty-thirteen!
All the best,
James
