Ted Seymour - Explorations of Truth
In the past few weeks, I’ve made special efforts to help others or otherwise go where needed. This included going to a graduation and a dance recital for the dear daughters of a friend, spending hours on the phone and in person with a friend going through some difficult transitions, playing a round of golf […]
I’ve been struggling a bit lately, and it’s being spurred on by my needing to vacate my home in favor of vacation renters who I’ve lined up for much of the summer. The question of where I am going often comes up for me and I simply don’t know – many thoughts and ideas and […]
I’m in Oakland right now staying at the home of my friend Michele and her daughter (my goddaughter) Djuna.

I’m feeling a little uncomfortable this past day or so.
