    Fear, Part Two: Feeling it

    I want to follow up today on two recent blog topics–one about bullying, the other about fear–by reporting one of the most interesting and useful spiritual journeys I have taken in perhaps the past five years. The very simple exercise that I engaged was, “what …

    From Lust to Love

    A new friend and brother asked me a question this week which serves as the fuel for today’s blog. He asked, in essence, “what first motivated you to meet and hug total strangers; what drove that, what were you seeking? And, as your “fetish” turned …
