Lady chores and essential ingredients

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. –Maya Angelou Until very recently, an endearing picture of a smiling Neem Karoli Baba greeted me from my computer’s home page. Every time I logged onto the computer that face was a reminder to me to be courageous and strong and tender. While I never had the good fortune to meet Neem Karoli Baba when he was alive, I have read and heard stories of him from some of his more celebrated Western disciples, including Krishna Das, the kirtan singer; Lama Surya Das, the American lama and author who started out as a Jewish kid from Long Island; and Baba Ram Dass, formerly known as Timothy Leary’s partner in LSD research and experimentation at Harvard, Richard Alpert. To a person, these men speak reverently of Neem Karoli Baba or Maharaji, as they affectionately refer to their teacher. According to them, to be in his presence was to be in the presence of capital “...

The dawn's early light

My husband is not a morning person. In fact, he would say that getting up early is for the birds. And, of course, he'd be right. Every bird worth its weight in feathers knows that the early morning is the best time to harvest worms and to sing its ode to the dawn's early light. While I have no interest in competing with the birds for their morning grubs--as long as they leave enough for the garden--I am, nonetheless, one of the flock when it comes to paying tribute to the dawn. According to the latest evidence in sleep research, this penchant for the dawn makes me a "lark," a morning person, someone who feels she is capable of her best work in the morning. Those who burn the candle at the other end of the day are known as "owls" because they, like their nocturnal namesakes, tend to be more productive in the evening. I imagine that if I talked to enough "owls," I would find that, like me, they have a special reverence for their particular time o...

Watch your breath

Saturday night, I had trouble sleeping. I woke up in the earliest morning hours feeling irritated about soccer of all things. Not professional soccer or the World Cup. I am not a fanatic about any particular sport or team. No, I was irritated about the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) and our local region and the recruiting politics that persist year after year despite the organization's claim to fairness and balance. As I lay awake, I composed countless e-mails in my head to the assorted guilty parties with the intention of exposing bad practices among coaches and restoring some integrity to the bylaws of the youth league. When I had begun to exhaust myself with this mental exercise, I realized that I had already waged a version of this campaign via e-mail only a couple of seasons ago. Nothing had changed. Lying there in the dark, I asked myself whether another volley of e-mails--composed at some expense of time and energy on my part--would make a difference. I understand...
