They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law," Justice Kennedy wrote of same-sex couples in the case. "The Constitution grants them that right.". It is so ordered. Why are you crying? My kids asked as I read the final paragraph of Justice. May explain some of my feelings. From Statutory Bans to Constitutional Bans. it all felt so hopeless. But so many brave and hopeful people fought on. If You Found A Book.

Samaritan Blog: April 2015

A Case For Organized Compassion. Monday, April 27, 2015. I'm reading the book The Road to Character. By David Brooks. I love reading books and articles by David Brooks because sometimes we agree, but often we disagree. It's always an exciting journey. The Road to Character. Is a perfect example. While reading it, I find myself cheering. for example, in chapter one there is a bit about reviewing the mistakes of the day each night:. To 'What does life want from me? What is it that needs repair? I struggled...

Samaritan Blog: RIP Cecil
http://samaritanblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/rip-cecil.html
A Case For Organized Compassion. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Over the past few days I have been following on twitter. The death of Zimbabwe's beloved lion, Cecil. The lion's tragic death has sparked both outrage and heartbreak. I don't begin to understand the world of Trophy Hunting. But I do like what this hunter had to say. I have been trying to wrap my head and heart around the senseless killing of a beautiful lion and America's role. So, I used my go-to: Post-It Notes and a little glitter. Young Adult B...

Samaritan Blog: because of who you believe yourself to be
http://samaritanblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/because-of-who-you-believe-yourself-to.html
A Case For Organized Compassion. Friday, April 10, 2015. Because of who you believe yourself to be. Last month I saw John Green tweeting about a book, The Last Flight of Poxl West. It is beautifully written, as John Green says, sentence-to-sentence. The Last Flight of Poxl West. Weaves together two voices: Elijah Goldstein and Poxl West. Poxl West, Eli's uncle, publishes his World War II memoir Skylock. To great acclaim and success. Fifteen-year-old Eli worships his uncle Poxl. Goes something like this.

A Case For Organized Compassion. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. When and where have you been a part of a culture of thinking? I am reading a great new book by Ron Ritchhart, Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools. The price of the book is worth it for the introduction alone: Demystifying Group and Organizational Culture. Have you ever been part of a group - a book club, a committee, a travel tour, a graduate course, a club, or a classroom? To the task at hand?

A Case For Organized Compassion. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. I loved the book Brown Girl Dreaming. By Jacqueline Woodson, a memoir in free verse. I wrote about it over on One Page to the Next. I was recently in Washington DC where I left a copy of the book with the usual book plate. If you'd like to hear an interview of Jacqueline Woodson on NPR click HERE. Or, read an excerpt.
