Here’s a letter we wrote to America’s richest woman, Oprah Winfrey. “Dear Oprah,” we began. “Please buy up all the Pizza Huts and convert them into a network of Menstrual Huts. Create 10,000 or 100,000 local neighborhood sanctuaries where women can retreat while they’re in the throes of their monthly appointment with dying and purification — or anytime...
Read MoreThe Greatest Gift You Can Give
The greatest gift you can give might be the gift that you yourself were never given. Give that gift. The most valuable service you have to offer your fellow humans may be the service you have always wished were performed for you. Offer that service.

Read MoreSHADOW SCHOOL
You’re a gorgeous mystery with a wild heart and a lofty purpose. But like all of us, you also have a dark side — a part of your psyche that snarls and bites, that’s unconscious and irrational, that is motivated by ill will or twisted passions or instinctual fears.

I kick my own ass and wash my own brain. I push my own buttons and trick my own pain. I burn my own flags and roast my own heroes. I mock my own fears and cheer my own zeroes. Nothing can stop me from teasing my shadow. I’m full of empty and backwards bravado. My wounds are tattoos that reveal my true beauty. I turn tragic to magic and make bliss my duty. I honor my faults till they become...

“Irregularity and unpredictability are important features of health. On the other hand, decreased variability and accentuated periodicities are associated with disease. Healthy systems don’t want homeostasis. They want chaos.” – John R. Van Enwyk, “The Chaotic Dynamics of Everyday Life,” Quest magazine “One must have chaos within oneself if one is to be a...

According to Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, Judas was actually a more exalted hero than Jesus. He unselfishly volunteered to perform the all-important villain’s role in the resurrection saga, knowing he’d be reviled forever. It was a dirty job that only a supremely ego-less saint could have done. Jesus suffered, true, but enjoyed glory and adoration as a result. Let’s...
