My Own Footsteps

These are personal essays, things I see that I feel compelled to comment on. They focus on my hope and my distress, on my children, on my nation, on those I’ve met in other countries, and on those I’ve learned from who come from many different traditions. They chronicle a few of my most poignant moments—some joyful, some agonizing, each one filled with paradox. I continue to swim willingly in the spiral of paradox. I’ve learned that it is these explorations that yield the great blessings of peace and renewed dedication to finding our way.

We were together. I forget the rest.

—attributed to Walt Whitman
