How Memoirs Preserve History: A View from the Ground Up - John W. Weiser

Let’s explore how memoirs preserve history from ordinary people’s viewpoints, using John W. Weiser’s family escape story as an example.

Seven Years Later, Still That Same Moment

Seven years is supposed to feel like distance. That’s what people tell you, what you tell yourself, what the world quietly expects you to accept. Time moves forward, relentlessly, stacking days into months into years until something that once felt immediate is supposed to settle into memory. But grief doesn’t follow that rule. It doesn’t respect calendars or anniversaries. It doesn’t care how many years have passed. Sometimes seven years feels like a lifetime ago, like you’ve lived […]

A Moment That Felt Like America Again

From the heady days of Apollo to the roar of Artemis II, today felt like America remembering who we are, even if just for a moment.

7 and 13: Unlucky, Lucky, and Everything In Between

Numbers are strange little markers in our lives. Most people see them as simple counters, dates, ages, or statistics. But for me, two numbers have taken on lives of their own: 7 and 13. Most would consider 7 lucky. A number that appears on dice, on slots, in myths and stories, bringing with it a sense of magic, of chance in one’s favor. And 13? The classic “unlucky” number, feared by hotels, shunned by superstitious traditions, a number that seems to drag bad fortune in its wake. Yet, […]

En su charla "Gente Que Aprende", el Maestro Alfredo Sfeir-Younis, en línea con su visión sobre la consciencia y los derechos humanos, propone que el aprendizaje es fundamentalmente un proceso de transformación interior y autodescubrimiento. Usando la metáfora del cóndor, destaca que el verdadero aprendizaje trasciende la mera acumulación de datos (crítica a la IA) y requiere el desaprendizaje activo de nociones preconcebidas y del miedo a confrontar la verdad personal, lo que define la resistencia al cambio. Sfeir-Younis distingue entre el saber, el entender y la sabiduría, siendo esta última el cambio interno que nos permite trascender identidades secundarias y acceder a la propia esencia. De esta manera, el aprendizaje se convierte en un acto de acción y transformación colectiva y mutua, donde el desarrollo individual es la base para la evolución social y la defensa de los derechos humanos.

In 1993, as my friend Pat was dying from cancer, I wrote in my journal to ground myself. When she read it, she made me promise to publish it, insisting our friendship could help others. I kept that promise. Years later, a stranger's phone call proved Pat was right about the power of words written from love.

This is SO messed up. 🫥 I had a few messages and tags today asking me to clarify my stance on Israel, which was odd as I've been pretty outspoken against genocide and in full support of Palestinian statehood...
