- Appalachian Trail anniversary approaching
July 2 is coming up soon and I’m beginning to look around me again with a sense of wonder and wide-eyed amazement, being fully present again, recognizing my interconnection with all beings again, beginning to dream again.

These are the guys behind the Jay and Silent Bob flicks. We bring this up in this week’s podcast - and we should have mentioned that these guys can be extremely crass. We, on the other hand, strive for a clean rating on our podcasts. But if you didn’t know that Kevin Smith’s films [...]

- Dear Wake Divinity Class of 2008,
I’m not going to quote Gandhi or Mother Teresa because you’ll probably hear a lot of that this weekend. I’ll try to keep the buzz words like “ambiguity,” “diversity,” “self-care,” and “community” to a minimum. You’ve already thought a lot about all of these concepts and how they will play out in the next [...]
