Handy Fact
Why aren't people dogs? he said & I said because we can pick up newspapers with our hands & that made sense to him.

'Cause sometimes it's good just not to think so hard. I had to explain to the furniture store manager trying to schedule a delivery for me that it couldn't be during the workday 'cause I wouldn't be home. He asked if I had someone to sign on my behalf, and I told him that my kitty was willing, but that since she doesn't have opposable thumbs, holding the pen was always a problem. He said he saw on Animal Planet that you can teach animals pretty much anything. I agreed, but then said I didn't think it could happen by Tuesday. He laughed a lot, and then made other arrangements.

- Why The Lazy Radical? It's always my intention to do something amazing to help change the world, and then an episode of Arrested Development comes on, and I get totally sidetracked! I think I'm like a lot of people, moved by the sorrow and outrage in our world, but it's easy to get sidetracked by the ordinariness of daily life. My place of action, my sphere of influence, is the spiritual. For some it's politics or business. For me, it's always been rooted in the concept that relationship with G*d fills us with spiritual power, and that power is what we can bring into the world to effect change. I've been practicing and teaching meditation for the past 30 years. And what I've learned through all of is that the spiritual journey requires real honesty, the willingness to confront every aspect of the self, and the courage to move forward into change. It's not enough to have good ideas or read good books or listen to good teachers. A spiritual orientation requires the practitioner to show up as fully as possible in every aspect of life, even (or especially) when there's discomfort or uncertainty. Spiritual practice isn't the art of perfection; it's the art of presence.
