I know zoos are no longer in people’s good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both.

The Shambhala Warriors: Leadership, Attention, and Compassion in an Uncertain Future
In an age of crisis and distraction, true leadership begins with clarity, compassion, and attention. Drawing on the Shambhala Warrior prophecy, this essay explores how wisdom, adaptability, and focus can guide us through uncertainty toward a regenerative future.

In the beginning was Chaos.
So...what's new? Longer legs?

Magnum Chaos design from a late Medieval church decoration. The design shows a violently flaming golden sun, with concentric circles within--behind an imaginary creature with an eye in its center, forearms and hands spread wide, and ankles and feet. The creature appears to emanate from the sun and concentric circles.

Can you imagine Sisyphus as a happy man?
Did the gods accidentally give him joy and meaning hidden in his never-ending focus?
Or is this a grand deception, and the recipe for a factotum?

It ain’t necessarily so—
The things that you’re liable to read in the Bible—
It ain’t necessarily so,

In the midst of our plastic dystopia,
I take a moment to reflect.
Look at how you go - Oye como va...
Love, forgive.
Rinse and repeat until you see yourself in every face you meet.
Compassion is the rule your life is measured by.
Expand your horizons with kindness.
Blessed be, and grace to thee!

I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.
—Robert Sapolsky, Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, p. xii
