A daily porch practice. Every morning I read the news, then sit with what's underneath it - philosophy, faith, and dissent - tied to the UU calendar, until a human thread appears.
Some days that thread comes from the headlines. Other days I pull one voice from the human tradition, a philosopher, a poet, a prophet, a rebel, and ask what they have to say about the world we're actually living in. Not as decoration. As navigation.
I've meditated for 58 years. I'm a UU lay leader, a saxophonist, and a self-taught AI collaborator. I run The Neosis Report, a daily dispatch built on a Chromebook. I play in a band called The Heretics. I walk my dog, Jade, every morning before the algorithm wakes up.
