Toward a World that Works for Everyone
We all need a little peace, stillness, and balance to get us through life. Sadly, this doesn’t jive with the social mold we’re supposed to fit into.

Until now I’ve characterized my path as passive awareness, using a term from Krishnamurti. I firmly believe that “passive awareness” was Krishnamurti’s codeword […]
