Generation distraction

my next blog post should be live on onecity later today, about a recent study released showing greatly increased media usage by kids under-18 in America.

A year to live

my plan for 2010 is to visualize that i’m dying, and that i have only one year left to live. this is a contemplative exercise, and an opportunity for me to work with fear more directly.

i may journal on this blog from time to time about it.

i’m not really dying. don’t worry. this is just an exercise, which i described first here:

i’ll take care of myself in this process, and only engage with it insofar as it feels like a spiritual practice and growth process. if you’d like to be involved in this with me though please let me know. i’m inviting you to involve yourself if you’d like; if you think it would be valuable to you too. we could make it a group practice and compare notes, or i can just tell you more about how it unfolds.

happy new year

i’m still writing semi-regularly for one city. i posted something for new years here:
