I write things I feel strongly about. I also work hard to say my opinions in ways that different kinds of people can receive what I'm saying and get help from them. People often divide up into camps and echo chambers, only listening to voices they already agree with. I try instead to listen to spiritual and secular, left and right., up and down. And I want to communicate from a middle way, offering support and perhaps inspiration to folks on all sides.

Early on I wasn’t sure anyone wanted to hear what I had to say. I wasn’t sure that I did have anything to say that anyone needed. Now, a lifetime of experiences has given me a lot of things to say.
