No, to be honest, we’ve never been Charlie. Yes, we often offend (remember when the house was pink?) but usually not intentionally. Presumably our parents transmitted at least some of our left-of-center views. Hopefully our children received their share. It would be hard to be the parent of a reactionary.
“With our thoughts we make the world.” Gautama Buddha
My home in Toledo is the center of my world, and I think the Buddha has it right. Each of us makes our own world with our thoughts. But also with our hands. I’m starting this blog because I’d like to think, and to write, about making it: making the world and making a life. Making a home and making a difference. No deep thoughts, but hopefully some interesting reflections and a bit of engaging conversation. Welcome.
(Thanks to Big Al for the Buddha in my garden.)
