How To Be Alone
I’ve just finished The Evolution of God by Robert Wright, and my brain feels like a stuffed green pepper. One of these days I’ll share, in a succinct and clear way, what I learned. To compare, I’ve picked up Stephen Prothero’s God is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World–and Why Their Differences Matter, so I’m not reading down only one side of an argument.
You might think I’m obsessed by this God-stuff, and you’re absolutely right. Thing is: I have a child to raise, and I want to make sure I’m knowledgeable in what I believe and what others believe. How do I share with her my wide vacillations of thought, when I want her to begin with a firm base? How do I impart thinking skills to her, so that she’ll want to figure this out for herself? And most of all, how do I model a spiritual experience for her–when that word spiritual can mean so many things?
While I’m mulling, I thought I’d share the most wonderful video I found via ananda. No words are necessary. It’s the most beautiful thing.
Introducing…
“How To Be Alone” by filmmaker Andrea Dorfman and poet/singer/songwriter, Tanya Davis.
Tonight, we’re off to the Dakota Jazz Club (with Liliana in tow) to hear the Cuban pianist, Nachito Herrera. We think she’ll love it!
