Introduction

This is meant as a place to put my thoughts, some written before the Internet was a thing. Please see the "Labels" section to the left.
  • Most posts from the '70s and '80s consist of prose, poetry and songs in chronological order, from turbulent adolescence to finding meaning in life.
  • Posted dated 1990 were actually written during the late '80s in a journal entitled "Coral and Pearls - A Collection of Essays", many influenced by the ANISA Model of education.
  • Posts from 1991 forward are mostly adapted from letters to family and friends, several on Baha'i topics.
  • Around 2005 my writing started to center on a Culture of Peace, starting with Rethinking Social Science. There is an overview of how this unfolded in My Fight for Peace and a summary of the project in Moving from a Culture of Conflict to a Culture of Peace.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please bear in mind that no matter how convinced I may be of my ideas at any given period, I am fully aware that this is merely the best I was able to come up with at the time, and I truly hope that my thinking will evolve. If not, I will have stagnated in my search. Perhaps it will be your comments that will bring about that change, so please feel free to question, challenge and propose new approaches!
