Twenty-one things about me (subject to change without notice)
I am made of darkness and light;
i am a child of the universe;
i am a human being;
i am seeking;
i am Dianne's spouse;
i am an anarchist (primitive and "Christian");
i am older than ninety-seven percent of my species but still feel young;
i am grandparent to two granddaughters, a grandson, and five step granddaughters;
i guess i'm a Cynic, (but not cynical, i hope);
i am an egalitarian, part of my specialness is my lack of specialness
i am a wannabe Taoist sage who tries to follow the eightfold path, live by the sermon on the
mount, and delight in Sufi poetry;
i am a retired sociology professor;
i am father to two daughters and a son;
i try not to be possessed by my possessions;
i am autistic
i want to be loving and kind.
i am still too angry, too proud, and way too self centered (but much less so than a year ago;
i am part of the Catholic Worker Movement
i am a naive skeptic and a faithful doubter,
i love the idea of loving nature; and
i might somewhen rediscover my Buddha nature.
