| THE HAGUE, Netherlands The Hague, with its constant drizzle, qualifies as one of the gloomiest cities I've ever visited, and the tense, uncertain busyness of the convention center doesn't add much to the atmosphere. But a 20-minute train ride from the hall brings you to the one truly hopping spot in town, a youth hostel that has been taken over by Greenpeace for the duration of the conference. S ... |

Perhaps God made snow to force us to slow down. I was scheduled to fly to Michigan this morning for a four-day strategic retreat that the Center was sponsoring with support from the Fetzer Institute near Kalamazoo. I awoke to the first serious snow storm of the year -- and to cancelled flight ... |

Up at 6 a.m. after my late return from New York last night. As usual, the first half hour of the day was for reflection, quiet time, coffee. Once I got my 9- and 11-year-olds off to school, I opted to work from home for the morning -- a rare indulgence in claiming my own space. Sometimes, wh ... |

I awoke at 5:30 a.m. to catch a 7 a.m. train to New York City. Back to work! Off to raise money to keep the Center moving. I still find this dance of fundraising interesting to observe, almost as a third party, even as I'm in the midst of it. I've been either raising money or giving money away ... |

Despite the federal holiday, I spent a few hours at the office, fighting back against the tide of mail, faxes, email, and voice mail. Ugh. The inflow of information is beyond my capacity to respond. Seems the sage was right who claims we live in an age of much information and little wisdom. ... |

It was wonderful to have a rush of frigid air in my face for a change after such a balmy December. Hoping for snow! After some silent meditation, I browsed through the newspaper and was interested to see a piece on sport utility vehicles. Kara Kockelman at the ... |
