"Someone who can perceive the comedy and tragedy of life can resist the temptation to think in terms of purposes, which conceals the game that is played with us." Hans-Georg Gadamer, Truth and Method (p. 112)

About Me

Emerging.  Becoming.  Being.  

Currently exploring the shared experience of what I call "structural meditation", using the three kayas of Buddhism as structural models, which correspond to Body, Mind, and Spirit.  Or should I call it intersubjective meditation, or intersubjective structural meditation, or communicative meditation?

Education

1965 - College of St. Thomas, St. Paul Minnesota

Career

Continuously fluctuating as an ephemeral societal expectation that I try to resist.

 

Most recent day job was teaching students with severe disabilities for 8 years, which I semi-retired from in 2006.  Recently was a substitute teacher in Oakland Unified School District for about six days.  Was a little overwhelming.

Now...???
