The Dying of the Light

Unless you live near the earth’s equator, each year takes us into a time of shorter days.  The rhythm of life changes for plants, animals, land and humans.  For some, it’s a welcome season of slowing down, while for others, it’s an occasion to remember grief.  This issue will be a collection of autumn-inspired reflections.

Come Out and Play

The older we get, the less time we tend to devote to the pleasure of play. It's a developmental pattern, but it tends to go too far, to the extent that we can't remember how to play, or why we should. What is the good purpose of play in the lives of everyone from infants to senior citizens? Played any good games lately?

If Only...

When it comes to discussions about the future, how many of our sentences begin with the word “if”?  Money, internal motivation, the right job, a past regret and other things can limit our sense of what’s possible.  How can we deal with that which seems to hold us back?

In some parts of the world, the gray and cold of winter inspires a need to escape emotionally, physically and otherwise. What does it look like to stick it out through all seasons and to stick it out well? In what ways is winter nourishing and necessary?

Summer Days

Remember the feeling of getting out of school when you were a kid: the complete freedom of endless days with nothing to do except play in the yard? What do you remember most clearly about those days? On our childhood memories, but also what we’d change about the priorities of our adult lives…if we could.
