Thoughts from my Easter trip to Point Reyes on feeling close to the Divine plus some info on ultralight backpacking for those who are interested.

The hardest to thing to let go of when I stopped being a Christian was the feeling that God was close.

I’m getting sick of making deals. A deal is a zero sum game where there is a winner and a loser. There is a better way.

I know how great it feels to live an authentic life. Why is it so hard??

Sometimes when people make a mistake they say, “Oops! I lied.” But making a mistake and lying are different.

A lie is not a misunderstanding of reality, It is a betrayal.

I get discouraged when I look at what is going on in the world. I find the Serenity Prayer to be a helpful tool to navigate the chaos. (Not Frank Constanza’s serenity prayer. We’ll look instead to the Dalai Lama and Reinhold Niebuhr.)
