Back in NYC
This summer has been amazing. I spent the first two months of it on the road, first at a 9-day meditation retreat with Shinzen Young. I won’t try to summarize an experience that rocked my world like that one did.. Then I headed to Los Angeles to do a few days of work with the…

In it
Late night is when I feel inspired. 11pm, 1am — late enough that even though a part of me says “down some coffee and let’s do it” the rest of me says “you’re crazy.” Wild flashes of glory, a multiferous human heart reaching for beyond pours itself into a mould of characters and snippets of…

I’m inclined to believe he’s always supported it, but whatever his true feelings actually are, he makes these statements for political reasons. He’s either pushing as much of his personal agenda as he thinks he can get away…

Wow, crowdsourcing is awesome. Now, Chinese and French!
Wow. You guys…!! I put up the script for Shabbat Dinner a few days ago, and NINE HOURS later, the entire thing was translated into Spanish. And translated well! It was amazing watching little boxes flit across the screen doing the translation, so thanks everyone. I think it provided a necessary distraction from work for…

Whoa. Naples museum director begins burning art to protest at lack of funding
From The Guardian: “Antonio Manfredi has already destroyed a painting and vowed to incinerate one artwork every day until his demands are met.” Says the artist who watched her painting being burned over Skype: “I feel as if I am in mourning. It is very sad that they burned my painting. We hoped until the…
