The letter I sent to the IDP community yesterday, in case you haven’t read it: Dear Interdependence Project Community and Friends, So what are we going to do now?

I voted this morning at 8:15 after waiting on line for 45 minutes in the humid, bustling gymnasium at the elementary school near my house. Now it’s 11:00 AM and I have nothing to do except think…

It’s Election Day Eve, tomorrow (hopefully) the next four years of this country’s political future will be decided, and I’m sitting here freaking out about cockroaches in my apartment. It all started this evening when I got home from work expecting a nice, quiet two hours of watching bad TV and cooking pasta with mozzarella…

The ID project got a couple of nice mentions in the new issue of Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly, which may be the best general interest magazine about Buddhism. They came in an article called “Next-gen Buddhism: The future of Buddhism in a post-baby boomer world.” The article features Rod Meade Sperry, of The Worst Horse,…
