True Freedom

July 4, 2011 by David Anderson Leave a Comment

I don’t know if it’s true, but someone once told me that domesticated birds can be trained to sit by an open window—and not fly away. You put their perch next to an open window, but you tie one foot to the perch, so that when the bird attempts to fly out the window, it […]

Wildness is Necessity

June 26, 2011 by David Anderson Leave a Comment

If summer is come (as of Tuesday), can vacation be far behind? Unless we’re in for a stay-cation, that means getting out of town, finding our way somewhere else. When we live in town and work in the city, we often head for someplace far from “civilization,” remote, wild. I always develop palpitations when I […]

Holding Our Children, and Letting Them Go

June 19, 2011 by David Anderson 1 Comment

This is the weekend to remember our fathers.   Fathers struggle. We know this.

Unhappiness is an inside job. But you’d hardly know it. We’re so used to blaming others for our state. “I don’t like my job—I work with a pitiful group of people.” “I hate this town. It’s full of lousy people.” Or “I stopped going to that church. It was full of nothing but hypocrites!” Like […]

What Arnold and Dominique Really Want

May 22, 2011 by David Anderson Leave a Comment

It’s not been a good week for Arnold Schwarzenegger; worse for Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Schwarzenegger, the erstwhile governor of California, admitted to fathering a child with a member of his household staff. Strauss-Kahn, the IMF chief, was yanked off a plane after—police say—he sexually assaulted a hotel maid in his $3,000-a-night room. These lurid stories play […]
