This website was built in 2011 to create a connection with the students in my classes. Since then, I've come to believe that real personal connection can only come from direct human interaction, unmediated by technologies like this one. 

So instead of wasting precious hours online, I plan to . . . 

• read a book.
• spend time in nature.
• interact with interesting people.
• meditate.

I recommend that you do the same. 

To quote from the Zen Gatha Evening Gatha:

Let me respectfully remind you,
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken.
Awaken! Take heed!
Do not squander your lives . . .
