Simple enough: Making Lent simple
No matter where you land on the continuum of Lenten disciplines, you may wonder how you could observe this season's piety in a simple form. Today I want to suggest something I learned from the old (black-and-white) Martin Luther film: Observe Lent in your body postures.
A word of background first. In my mind, the value of Lenten practices comes from a change in bedrock presumptions about my life. Things like my deep sinfulness; my incapacity to extricate myself from the messes I've made; my total dependence on God for anything good to come from my life; and my deepest faith in Jesus' actions to bring rescue to the whole world. Deep stuff and hard to cram into a lifestyle that's busy or crowded with other thoughts.
What might work is a change in body postures (I'm back to the Luther movie). Try kneeling and spread-eagling yourself, facedown. You can kneel at the side of your bed or outside where God's good Earth brings hints of new life this time of year. You can lie facedown, completely emptied out, on your bed or even the floor (like Luther). The sheer physicality of these body postures might allow or drive you to the deeper thoughts that Lent invites: After awhile, kneeling hurts—and what thoughts does that suggest? And from the first moment of face-to-the-floor spread-eagling, your completely extended torso is vulnerable and defenseless—a good way to approach God, hmmm?
I won't try to suggest what else you and I might consider as we kneel or lie supine, but my guess is that the direction and quality of our thoughts will lead to Lent-focused self-examination. Some of that will be sorrowful and penitent, but simple joy (in being heard and protected by God) is also possible.
Simple enough for Lent?

Simple enough: Empathetic you
Today I want to give you some simple hints about appreciative behaviors so you might understand how it might feel to be inside someone else's self-identity.
Look deeply at faces
Without being obvious, look at the faces of other people as they're talking or moving. Without being creepy, try to drink in the tiniest details of their facial musculature, their eye movements and the way they smile. Notice their wrinkles and blemishes, the hints of handsomeness or beauty that have not been dimmed by age and the emotions that seem evident. If you're face-to-face, look into other folks' eyes for more than the usual split second so you can appreciate what lies deep within them.
Ask imaginative questions
In almost any situation where you encounter people, look for small clues that might suggest how their day is going, or what joys and sorrows they might be carrying. Notice their gait, posture and clothing and imagine how they feel about being able to move through space, how their clothes add to their self-image, how they experience their body weight. Try to appreciate what it might take to do their job, to manage their relationships, to stave off their worries, to garner attention from others. Wonder with awe about their self-confidence and their positive relations with others. Think about their hopes for a good life, and about the people who depend on them.
Say something
Think of one or two sentences that might communicate your empathy in a helpful way. Not just compliments, but also acceptance, camaraderie or encouragement. Choose your words carefully so they are easily understood.
Send a prayer or two
Embed in your appreciative observations a quick prayer that wraps up these moments of empathy by commending these people to God's loving providence.
Pretty simple, hmm?

Simple words: Great Scott!
(This entry continues the series "Simple words," which helps you increase your simplicity vocabulary and also astound your Face Off friends. Etymologies and musings will ensue.)
Today I will offer you an extremely acceptable and spiffy way to express devotion or praise during a church service. I'm talking, of course, about the expression "Great Scott!" Lest you doubt the spiritual utility of this nearly archaic bit of spoken Americana, let me unravel its etymology and suggest its usefulness in your setting.
In the early 20th century, German immigrants would greet each other—usually enthusiastically and with a bit of relational fervor—with the expression "Grüss Gott!" Its literal meeting was "greet God," but by derivation the term came to encourage the piety of people greeting each other so its truer meaning became "praise God!"
Those living around these immigrants—obviously not familiar with the sound of this linguistic tongue—heard something quite different: "Great Scott"! And so those who overheard the hearty greetings of enthusiastically pious and friendly German settlers assumed that "Great Scott!" could be used whenever one was amazed or enthused about almost anything that deserved high emotion or wonder. (So looking at a brilliant shooting star, watching a double rainbow emerging from a passing storm or witnessing a thrilling catch off the left field wall—each could elicit "Great Scott!" and would invite others into one's astonished appreciation.)
So what I'm proposing—for the next time you lead worship—is that you substitute "Great Scott!" for the usual "Hallelujahs" that might become too easily voiced or sung. If your church is given to great enthusiasm most of the time, you could intersperse some "Great Scott's!" among the "Amens" and "Preach it!" exhortations. Instead of passing the peace, you could high-five each other with an added "Great Scott!" And, of course, "Great Scott, From Whom All Blessings Flow" could be a good way to end any service!
Enough simple words?

Simple enough: People of last resort
In the caring systems that surround you, there are "people of last resort"—individuals who are the last stop for folks who live in desperate straits or with overwhelming difficulties. These folks have bounced around among other caregiving efforts but still aren't doing well. Last-resort people apply their training and caring in situations when no one else has been able to find a cure, solve a problem, derail a dysfunction, bring healing or offer realistic hope.
People of last resort are all around you: occupational therapists, probation officers, medical specialists, hospice nurses, special education teachers, assisted living workers, politically moderate legislators, counselors, pastors and CEOs. In some enterprises, the last-resort people may be unseen and underappreciated—they're secretaries, custodians or unofficial mentors who keep a company or organization operating well by virtue of their loyalty and relationships. Sometimes the person of last resort is a beloved friend who won't let go of you, a parent who keeps loving you or a colleague who sticks up for you through thick-and-thin.
You may be one of these people. In that case, part of my reason for writing this blog is to thank you—I've been at the end of some ropes in my life, and someone like you has helped me immeasurably. And by these written comments I encourage any readers to express your gratitude to the last-resort people who have rescued you.
The other reason I bring up this matter: To remind you—as a person of last resort—that Jesus did the same thing. Yes, your work resembles his own rescuing and picking up and defending and instructing of people who were down-and-out, on their last legs, emptied of hope and wondering why God had left them behind. Today you carry on Jesus' last-resort ministry.
God bless you!

Simple enough: Coffee cup wisdom
Sometimes lifestyle wisdom looks you square in the eye and says, "Use me!" That's what the gift of a new coffee cup has offered me: common sense that adds to the search for a manageable and sustainable life. (Thanks to the good folks at YourTrueNature.com for the wisdom soil—perhaps God's word on a coffee cup?)
Find your path
From the natural world comes the directive to choose a path before we start walking it. Simple living is the trail we've chosen, you and I, and we can be glad to have made that choice!
Stretch your limbs
Simplicity-seeking draws us past comfortable and easy. Risky at its heart, a life of simplicity stretches us in every way. And we grow stronger.
Start from the ground up
It would be so easy to think that we can jump into a life of simplicity whole-hog and in short order become proficient and wise. "Not so," says my coffee mug. "Set your feet on the ground, and grow slowly from a simple start."
Branch out
How easy it would be to collapse all that we hold dear into only one life-focus, one approach or one role. Simplicity can encourage the opposite: new and blossoming friendships, fresh buds of enjoyment, the greening of what seemed to be dead. Spring-like at its core, simplicity-seeking can be lively and lovely.
Root for others
One of the most enjoyable things we can do is build up and embolden other folks—their outlook, their skills, their opportunities—to live well.
Today, wisdom is peeking or poking at us—from coffee mugs, T-shirts, ads, bumper stickers, billboards—waiting for our appreciative eyes and ears. Best of all: We might be someone else's coffee cup, their source for wisdom that's short-and-sweet!
Kind of makes you want to look around, hmm?

Simple enough: Mind-reading
Don't look now, but very smart computers can assess with chilling accuracy your emotional state. "Chilling" because you may not want a computer to know your emotions. "Accuracy" because already-in-use software can assess micro-changes in your facial architecture in microseconds and determine on an ongoing basis your underlying emotions with reliable consistency. "Don't look now" because this technology has been in use for a number of years, assessing the emotional appeal of advertising.
You can find details in Raffi Khatchadourian's "We Know How You Feel," a dispassionate account in the Jan. 19, 2015, issue of The New Yorker. His reporting takes readers inside Affectiva, a fast-growing startup which has developed algorithms about face recognition that make the technology useful. (To be objective, Affectiva's original intent was to use its software to help people with autism navigate the sometimes difficult terrain of human emotion. The trajectory of its work has drawn it toward commercial applications, but the overall intent of the company's founders still focuses on the wider use of this technology in all of society.)
Some simplicity implications: The science and art of marketing will become more reliable and predictive. Those who rely on knowing the emotional response of clients, customers or worshipers could become more accurate in assessing the effects of their work. Our society might shift toward more honesty and transparency about the emotional basis for lifestyle decisions. Consumers or participants in any enterprise might garner more respect or power. Perhaps "emotional intelligence" will be better taught and learned.
In any case, the next few years will see the rapid spread of this technology. Your emotions will become important to even more people. Your lifestyle may make an even greater difference.
Don't look now, but you might want to be aware of where you're looking now.

Simple enough: The simplicity conspiracy
For all those who thought it was safe to come out from your caves, a warning: The real conspiracy that has governed almost every facet of human existence over the centuries is called Simplificadus Confidentus, and its adherents are still among us. To help you deal with this awesome fact, I will now cite evidence I have found on the Internet or made up. I hope you will be convinced.
- Before they disappeared into the dust of Eastern European history, the Knights Templar entrusted all their riches to a Polish gardener named Bortman the Bold, with this sacred anointing: "Use the spoils of our plundering to defeat all plundering henceforth." (Having seen the error of their ways, the Knights knew the world would be best served by lives unfettered by greed or mindless consumption.)
- About the same time, in an unnamed location within the Austrian Empire, the Illuminati crafted their plan for world domination in "The Arts of Simplicity," which details their prophetic vision for how this frame of mind could be insinuated into the lives of families worldwide.
- Masons—always part of any significant conspiracy theory—were formed as a secret guild of bricklayers and wall-builders. In undisclosed locations around the world, they built humbly disguised fortresses where their leaders could safely train adherents who would later infiltrate all the world's major religions.
- The Trilateral Commission, in its recent meeting in Switzerland, elected to subject the world economy to a slow collapse whose eventual end will be a greater sharing of the world's resources among all the world's people.
- These blogs are actually written by a computer program, The Illumined Bortman Arts, distributed by a worldwide fraternity of anonymous followers of The Way.
And here you thought you were just part of something small and insignificant!

Simple words: Cognomen
(This entry continues the series "Simple words," which helps you increase your simplicity vocabulary and also astound your true friends. Etymologies and musings will ensue.)
From your early days at Flavius Augustus High School (Go Flaves! Fight! Fight!) you will recall the deep value of having and holding an easily recognizable cognomen. Without that designation, you would have lived through your entire life not knowing who you really were. The Roman patricians (Go Patsies! Fight! Fight!) solved that problem by assigning everyone a family name—usually a third name or nickname—that would immediately identify the holder by her or his kinfolk. The additional name held families together—and made it a lot easier for early postal workers to deliver mail to the right person. (Think about it: How many Augie Augustuses could be living on the same street?)
And yes, I'm thinking about the possibility of our assigning cognomens to ourselves, as members of the simplicity seeking cohort that hides behind other, non-patrician names. (Don't get ahead of me here.) So we could cognomenize our normal names by adding in simple-family monikers such as: Simplicitii (Go Simplies, miminalize! Minimialize!); Calminums (Go Calmies, relax! Relax!); Wisdomae (Go Wiseys, think! Think!) or even Generositii (Go Gens, share! Share!).
I don't know about you, but this really works for me! Why? I've gone by "Joe Cool" for years and would dearly welcome an even more descriptive cognomen, one that joined me to you in our common identity—and quest—to pursue simplicity. We would know each other by our love, certainly, but also by our cognomenized names. And we would stand out, stand up and stand tall. We could form guilds of skilled practitioners and roving bands of garland-laden prophets. We could eventually develop secret hand signals, symbols to festoon our bicycles and backpacks, and ritual chants for those wonderful times we were all present in the same place. (Go Christians. Love! Live!)

Simple enough: Responsibly retired
It's easy to retire irresponsibly (for example: "It's my money, I earned it and I'll spend it how I want"). But a sturdy cohort within the retired-among-us sees this time in life as a golden opportunity to do good, to pay back, to ensure the future for others. To varying degrees, the responsibly retired are unfettered by the constraints that may have kept them locked into lifestyles that weren't always simple. But in these years? In these years the possibilities for being joyfully purposed can flutter around retired people like butterflies looking for delicious flowers.
You may be among those who have retired—at whatever age, for whatever reasons and in whatever circumstances—and have kept hold of a sense of your lifework. Now you get to pursue your passions for justice, your caregiving of loved ones, your sense of direction. Now you can speak out, stand up, and let loose with what's noble, righteous, even godly. Now you can pick a cause, an organization or a need and apply your capabilities (foremost among them your wisdom!) for the sake of God's will. Now you can pour yourself into your church or move past its embrace toward new horizons. Now you can ratchet down your lifestyle and ramp up your generosity. Now you can put final touches on a legacy that will extend your life past the time of your death.
To those of you already retired or about to retire: Consider this time in life as exciting, fulfilling and rewarding. Recall what it was, when you were younger, that you really hoped to accomplish with your life. Find other like-minded retirees who can join you in satisfying tasks, new vocations, surprising experiences—all part of being responsibly retired.
God keep you joyful!

Simple congregations: A simple annual meeting
(This entry is part of a continuing series that applies simplicity ideals to congregational life. These slightly longer entries can complement any program of congregational transformation.)
By law and by tradition your congregation probably holds an "annual meeting." This is the time where basic accountability about the health of the congregation's ministries takes place. For many congregational leaders, the dynamics of the annual meeting can also make it a source of stress or worry. I offer the following observations in an attempt to apply some simple living ideas to your annual meeting.
Establishing a tone
Most people aren't comfortable in most meetings. What can redeem this preexisting attitude is a positive, realistic and hopeful tone that leapfrogs over the sometimes-grim attitudes that can hitchhike into the annual meeting. That emotional atmosphere can be evident in the wording of reports, the quality of devotions, the physical setting, the number and variety of presenters, or the explicit declarations about the purpose(s) of this meeting.
Inviting interactivity
Think of interactivity as more than question-and-answer times or the occasion for individuals to interact with the meeting's convener/leader. People can also interact with information, their peers, their feelings and their God. These interactions can be spoken or written; they can be shared in small groups. Interacting with information can occur in the days and weeks before the meeting. FAQs can anticipate some of the interactivity. And not all the interactions need to be connected to decision-making.
Deepening relationships
An annual meeting can strengthen or deepen the appreciative feelings members have for each other, for congregational leaders or staff members. This is a time of accountability, certainly, but also an opportunity for heartfelt thanks. An annual meeting can offer the chance for people to catch up on each other's lives. Personal stories—testimonies by another name—can highlight parts of reports or be part of mealtime table-talk. The meeting can introduce new wisdom in new faces—youth, emerging leaders, older members.
Ordering decision-making
Whether or not members are familiar with "Robert's Rule's of Order," take a few moments to remind participants about the basic process by which motions are made, seconded, discussed, amended and voted upon. If discussion will be limited or focused, say so at the start of the meeting. Attach a timeline to agenda items so participants get a sense of how long the meeting will last. You may want to confine the presentation of committee reports only to their written form. Arrange the meeting room so participants can see each other. Display information—written or projected—in simple and attractive formats. Refer to page or slide numbers during times of discussion or decision-making. Invite participants to be succinct in their questions and comments, and respectful of others' rights to express their thoughts.
Evoking imagination
One purpose for an annual meeting is to renew members' sense of coming possibilities. Imagination, creativity and hope can be strengthened in a meeting that invites participants to recall the past appreciatively, to consider the sometimes-invisible good that happens because of your congregation or to imagine a preferred future. Each report or decision can be tinged with imagination—inventiveness, vision, ingenuity, dreams, future-orientation, reality-based hope—that connect with motivating emotions. Imagination can be wild and roaming or grounded in practicality. One starting point: "What if ...?"
Establishing expertise
Your annual meeting offers members a window into the skill and commitment of congregational leaders, so there is no substitute for high-quality materials, attention to details and even rehearsal of the meeting's process. Financial accounting (including budget proposals) must be clear, approachable and accurate. Reports should be well-written, carefully proofread and complete. Proposals for decision-making should be precise and accompanied by supportive background materials. Leaders or presenters should be easily heard and seen. Perhaps most important are the skills of leaders and presenters as they engage others in respectful and assuring dialogue.
Adding enjoyment
Some congregations make their annual meeting into a time of shared celebration. You might add this quality to your meeting by giving awards, or by noting special milestones or achievements that occurred during the past year. The meal that accompanies the meeting might have an added flair—special menu, some brief entertainment. Some surprises might take place—special guests, a video-compilation of the past year, a take-home item for families. You can change the venue during the meeting—moving from a dining area to a circle of chairs. You might preface the meeting with a "meeting" on social media or encourage Tweets. The annual reports can be refashioned into an attractive format—photos, charts, bulleted lists, sidebars and pullout quotes. Elections—usually the adoption of a slate of willing volunteers who are running unopposed—can be a time to note the special qualities of each "nominated" individual.
However you conduct your annual meeting, you can make it more than a exercise of legal requirements. The spirit of your congregation can be strengthened by this meeting, and your capacities as God's people broadened and deepened by this time you spend together. Simply stated, you can make this meeting manageable, a part of the sustaining vision you share in getting God's work done in this part of God's world!

Simple things: Pencils
(This entry continues a mini-series within the larger "Simple enough" blog family. The premise: It's important to look more deeply, appreciatively and gratefully at some of the elements of our lifestyle that are wonderfully ordinary, yet startlingly rare in the rest of the world.)
In our times the simplest of writing instruments may be a ballpoint pen, but for hundreds of years that designation was applied to the humble pencil. In some places in the world today the pencil still retains high status because of its rare qualities and utilitarian capabilities. (Schoolchildren in some parts of the world treasure their pencils as remarkable tools of learning.) The form of its materials enable this instrument of communication to scrape wood-encased graphite (a refined lump of carbon) against paper, another form of wood. The marks of that scratching become words, images and ideas that last. Written communication can be shared across miles and time.
To form a pencil, cedar trees are harvested and shaped into rounded or octagonal tubes; rubber is cooked and fashioned into erasers; a bauxite mine in Jamaica provides the metal for the aluminum sleeve that holds the eraser in place. A pencil is born from the efforts of a complicated array of industries that produce millions of these writing instruments around the world.
The pencil is a thing of beauty. Its coloration attracts attention; its lingering smell of cedar and rubber evoke memories of first-writing experiences; its heft invites dexterity and imagination. One end of this word-sword fashions sentences that can be changed by the other end. "Mistakes" are not permanent. Charts and diagrams and drawings appear at the end of a pencil. Its sharpened point becomes an encouragement for the sharpened mind that holds the pencil. As it continues its faithful functions, the pencil slowly gives away its life until it's discarded as a stub. Except for the metal sleeve, all components of the pencil eventually decompose—a final benefit for small organisms and the earth itself.
A simple thing, the pencil, but exquisitely complex in its construction and use.

Simple enough: Smartphone axioms
If it's true that you can learn about simple living almost everywhere you look, then it must also be true that one of those everywhere-places is the smartphone. In the spirit of sharing important life lessons with the Blogitude of True Believers, I will now pass on what I call "Smartphone Axioms." In no special order—and with no guarantee of smartitude—here are some simplicity-seeking learnings:
- If you wait long enough, even your trash will disappear.
- Everyone can always use more memory.
- Whims are good because whims are natural because whims are necessary.
- If you send "It," they will receive "It."
- There is a need for every application.
- There is an application for every need.
- All-knowing Sirius voices are not reliable.
- "Choice" means pushing the right buttons.
- Silence is frightening; silence is the enemy of happiness.
- Clouds are free.
- Clouds are safe.
- If you're not connected, eventually you will run out of energy.
- If you're always connected, eventually you will run out of energy.
- Loneliness is an easily dispelled illusion.
- Never text/talk to strangers.
- Looking down is downright dangerous.
As you can tell, I am somewhat richer for having the experience of carrying around this handy device and smarter for having learned from it. What I still can't quite figure out, though, is how to pay for all these life lessons. No, not the money costs. I'm talking about the other valuable qualities of life that I've set aside in order to make the smartphone my teacher: the other axioms that are waiting for my attention, the other teachers who are just waiting to be noticed, the other attention-worthy people and experiences that are eclipsed by the supposed wisdom of a supposed communication device.
Smart enough? Simple enough?

Simple words: Mollycoddle
(This entry continues the series "Simple words," which helps you increase your simplicity vocabulary and impress your few remaining friends. Etymologies and musings will ensue.)
Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of modern parenting—or, come to think of it, any loving relationship—is our too-easy tendency to mollycoddle those whose behaviors actually need correction or rebuke. Among our friends and in our families, we excuse or enable profligate spending, wasted time or resources, shallow life-goals, purposeless pleasure-seeking or overwrought egos. That mollycoddling—spoiling others by our doting overindulgence—eventually coats the relationship with sugary relational fluff, invisibly weakening our abilities to be honest and helpful. Perhaps worse, mollycoddling others may be a secret way to invite that same kind of behavior to be applied reciprocally to our miscreant lifestyle adventures or mistaken attitudes.
By its derivation, mollycoddling (indulgent-woman babying) names women as the etymological culprits, but this tendency exists in all of us. (Watch Mr. Blogger Guy raise his hand as chief of sinners.) When it comes to sowing simplicity, how easily I can forgive the small addictions of friends or colleagues, how calmly I might overlook (or even affirm) the "rushrushrush" of those I otherwise admire, and how dearly I hope I can be forgiven or spoiled by those who love me—even when I behave like a champion narcissist. And when mollycoddling becomes ingrained in a group (of truly nice people), the organization can eventually collapse or lose its effectiveness in a saccharine-poisoned atmosphere of imagined kindness. (Or "Christian love?")
The antidote to mollycoddling? Elemental honesty, truth spoken in love. Hard questions and insistence on good answers. Accountability in all relationships. Allowing consequences to wash over formerly mollycoddled ones. Sweeping the hard stuff back out from under life's rugs. A starting place: Our relationships with spouses and children—the likely place where mollycoddling begins and grows into unacceptable behaviors that can ooze into workplaces, friendships, blogs and even our churches!

Simple enough: Purposed cultural ignorance
Chicago Tribune columnist Josh Noel recently got my attention with a piece titled "With overload, greater cultural ignorance useful" (Jan. 2, 2015). His thesis is not all that complicated: There is a profound benefit to being clueless about some facets of contemporary culture. (Noel centers his provocative column on the example of his not knowing anything about People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2014.)
Noel's point: When you sidestep the onslaught of contemporary culture—no, let's call it an avalanche of only partially useful information—you remain unique. And that's good for you individually, as well as the culture itself. Selective consumption (paying attention to what you choose as valuable or useful) helps you retain some vestige of individuality. The differences among us—at least those of us not willing to spend too much time in a cultural blender—are what makes conversation interesting. Individuality pulls at the edges of relationships, helping them grow. Creativity prospers when selectively acculturated people rub at each other's knowledge and skill sets. You learn from people who are different from yourself.
Noel is not a crabby curdmudgeon or a Luddite. He admits that some of his thoughts come from getting older—I'd say he's wiser too. But if cultural similitude is a function of eternally bland youthfulness, perhaps civilization prospers when we're not all the same age too.
His well-written insights were a welcome year-opening encouragement for me to continue this simplicity-seeking enterprise. What might be criticized as self-centered individualism might instead be strong evidence that the human spirit can't be bottled or packaged into predictable personalities. That those of us who choose to swim against cultural currents are perhaps also its redeeming influence.
So keep at your simple living, even if you have to risk being named "culturally ignorant." Maybe that's a compliment ....

Simple enough: An invitation to covet
Last fall I found an exciting new opportunity to develop covetousness among the truly righteous—you'll recall that I live in a very righteous town, right? I'd like to share this wonderful idea for your benefit. Its name? "The Holiday Housewalk." Its ostensible purpose: to raise funds for whatever. Its actual outcome: increasing covetous attitudes and behaviors among the truly righteous.
Here's how this works: You get together all the folks in town with really nice homes. You convince them that they can raise significant cash for a good cause by charging other people a modest fee to traipse through significant portions of their tastefully well-furnished homes. The visitors will naturally admire the delights of high-quality interior decorating and will also get fabulous new ideas about how to bring their homes to the levels of acquisitive beauty that we all deserve—the blessings we receive on account of our truly righteous lives.
Oh, and covetousness. Yes, hosts and visitors will get really skilled at coveting. "Oohs" and "Aahs" will be the metrics by which to measure how thoroughly participants have discarded mindful notions of sufficiency or satisfaction. Adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin will flow through brains warmed by the possibility that they, too, can possess drapes that reflect the dappled morning sunlight into their sunrooms furnished in this year's newest color schemes. For a small sacrifice (to unnamed gods) participants can relish each other's admiring comments and secret jealousies—the twinned results of full-bore covetousness!
And before you get all holy and commandment-y on me, remember that it's covetousness that drives our economy and provides for us the "American Way of Life" that we so richly deserve. (Well actually, that's true only for those of us who are truly righteous.)
The rest of you will just have to live simply.

Simple enough: Burnout
In the January/February 2015 issue of Scientific American Mind, Professors of psychology Michael P. Leiter (Acadia University in Nova Scotia) and Christina Maslach (University of California at Berkeley) offer some hope about the vexing problem of burnout in the workplace. They not only describe the cycle of burnout, but also propose some practical ways to ameliorate this all-too-familiar characteristic of work life. I summarize their research findings here.
They extrapolate three main components of workplace burnout: exhaustion, cynicism and inefficacy. Each element of burnout feeds off the others, thus creating a cycle that's difficult to interrupt or diminish. Exhaustion comes most often from working too many hours/days without sufficient rest/sleep. The accompanying cynicism insinuates itself into the workplace because of perceived unfairness. (Favoritism, inept bosses, increasing workloads, lack of rewards or recognition—all create cynicism.) Eventually workers feel ineffective, powerless and immersed in futility.
Simply enough, the solutions center around improving what the researchers term "workplace civility"—eliminating or diminishing disrespectful patterns such as backstabbing, gossiping, hiding information or using competition as presumed motivation. Pleasing social interactions with co-workers lower the threshold for burnout. Wise, worker-centered management patterns and practices can help employees take charge of their workplace environment. Employees who think of themselves essentially as independent contractors are more likely to sidestep the destructive cycle of burnout—"destructive" because stress-related reactivity results, none of it good for bodies or minds. Two important factors for which employees can take responsibility: physical fitness and social interaction. The authors also suggest "job-crafting"—adjusting the ways employees assume the duties of their jobs with their mental and physical health in mind.
The article suggested to me again that most of us already possess the wisdom to apply simple—and well-known—solutions to difficult situations we face in life, including workplace burnout.

Simple enough: Text neck
Awhile back (Nov. 27, 2014) I read in an actual newspaper (Chicago Tribune) an article ("'Text Neck' may wreak early havoc on your spine") written by an actual journalist (Lindsey Bever of The Washington Post) about a new discomfort that is plaguing society: people looking down while constantly using their smart devices. It's called "text neck" (or "tech neck") and it could actually kill you.
Your head weighs about 12 pounds. When inclined slightly forward—let's say when you're texting your BFF about what you're wearing today—the forward pull of your head puts extra weight on your cervical spine. At 15 degrees forward, the effectual weight is about 27 pounds, at 30 degrees it's 40 pounds and at 45 degrees it's 49 pounds. The long- or sometimes short-term effect? Degeneration of your spine and the tendency to walk with your head down.
As any gerontologist, occupational therapist or back surgeon will tell you, what comes next isn't pretty: As your muscles habituate to a forward-inclined posture, looking down also becomes a habit and results in shorter strides. Shorter strides correlate with an increased risk of falling. And falling is one of the major causes of death among the elderly! (Texting-while-walking also creates havoc when you stroll into walls, buildings and journalists!)
On average, smartphone users spend about two to four hours per day on their devices. If they are today's teens, these "huncheratii" could, over their lifetimes, devote more than 5,000 hours per year to spine-torture, preparing for early onset of the senior shuffle. Some solutions? Look down with your eyes, not your head; exercise your head, up-and-down, side-to-side and maybe cut back on texting?
Me? I'll be investing in rehab hospitals, spine surgery clinics and assisted living facilities for the not-so-old.
It seems the right thing to do.

Simple words: Shindig
(This entry continues the series "Simple words," which helps you increase your simplicity vocabulary and impress the few remaining friends who still want to be seen with you. Etymologies and musings will ensue.)
Sometimes "simple living" gets the reputation for being about dull, dutiful or dreary things. (Simplicity-seekers eat nuts and twigs, walk everywhere barefoot, have sullen/sunken visages and get excited only when they can point their long, bony fingers at lifestyle malefactors.) But hey, enough about me ....
Today's "Simple word" takes care of that matter quickly: I want to invite you to host a shindig! Probably sourced in a Gaelic expression that corresponds roughly to leaping around, skipping or gamboling about, shindig came to mean a boisterous social gathering, probably featuring dancing, drinking and shouting.
Here's what I'm thinking: How would you feel about planning a simplicity shindig? Characterized less by dour activities (standing around and watching each other give electricity-free haircuts), your shindig would include dancing, loud conversation, laughter, back-slapping, hugging and kissing. The libations would include (reasonable) amounts of strong drink, with healthier options for those not so inclined. The food would be plentiful, exciting and simply delicious. The people you invited would be the usual cast of simplicity characters (prophets, introverts, wiseacres) but would also include local eccentrics, lonely pastors, writers, artists, social studies teachers, budding poets and gentlewoman farmers.
The party would be raucous and celebratory (the coming of spring, the greening of a home, the birth of a congregational initiative, the retiring of a partygoer's personal debt), and you would let loose with all the bound-up joy you've been waiting to unleash into the wind, the ground or the cosmos.
What would come of all this shindiginess? Hard to tell, but my guess is that you'd get to know each other better, make new friends, set a new tone (for your family, neighborhood or church) and have something more to talk about for weeks. Sounds good from where I sit, glumly writing blogs ...!
Enough simple words?

Simple enough: Sports chaos
Make no mistake, I'm a true believer in the value of sports for "Future Generations of Largely-Inactive Children." And I certainly have learned teamwork, self-determination and wet-towel flicking terrorism from my days as a sports-kid. But there comes a place and time to ask some harder questions about the collapse of sports in our society, and it might as well be here and now.
I'm talking specifically about the currently chaotic state of organized sports: lawsuits over pervasive head injuries, revolving-door coaching changes, academic cheating to ensure eligibility, skyrocketing salaries and profits, franchise monopolies, taxpayers on the hook for colossal municipal sports palaces, and malfeasances of many kinds in locker rooms, bedrooms and boardrooms. From where I sit—not in the stands or in front of a television—it looks like the whole enterprise of sports, from high school through professional levels, is whirling out of control.
Can the sports world keep wobbling on its axis for much longer? Or is the sports nation that we call the U.S. heading toward wholesale unmanageability? It seems like a cultural black hole is somewhere drawing civilization into its unforgiving maw, and the devolvement of organized sports might be the canary in this mixed metaphor!
If my observations are correct, perhaps the present conditions of sports are themselves the effect of some larger collapse or great unraveling. Perhaps the "pleasure principle" is coming to its logical end, or what we're seeing is the inevitable breakdown of an enterprise that just got too big.
I'm not a sports prognosticator—"Cubs Win World Series"—so I won't presume when or where the sports enterprise will eat its own tail, lose all its wheels or come to a sad end.
I just ask the hard questions.

Simple enough: Cheap accountability
If there's cheap grace, there must also be low-cost accountability. For your use in life-hacking integrity, I will show you how this works.
To keep your accountability costs low, use this phrase whenever you get into deep doo-doo: "I/We here at (name of malodorous enterprise or person) take very seriously the matter of (description of regrettable, mistaken or stupid action) and (weak pledge to do something.) For example: "We here at Lost Trees Puppy Farm take very seriously the matter of letting our puppies play on the freeway, and we promise to begin their retraining program within the next fortnight." Voila! "Take very seriously" proves your accountability and you have also absolved yourself by the penance of corrective action!
These helpful examples might apply to simple living:
- We here at St. Judas Church take very seriously the matter of wasting your time with endless before-service announcements, and hereby pledge to put all future notices into our new 15-page worship bulletin addendum.
- I want you to know that our family takes clueless living very seriously, and so we pledge to find a few lifestyle objectives in that book we read last year and post them on our refrigerator.
- I want you to know that I take very seriously the fact that I haven't balanced the checkbook in months, and promise a complete audit of our finances when I find it.
- I assure you that we here at WigginsWorks LLC take overworked employees very seriously. I pledge my complete cooperation with the local coroner in the event of any unfortunate incidents.
I take very seriously that you may not see this matter as very serious, so I give you my assurance that I will stop writing about cheap accountability as soon as I finish this penitent sentence.
Simple enough?

These old wooden fence railings border the commons in the historic village of Berrima, NSW, Australia.
The fence is covered with lichen and probably dates from the early 1900s.

After Matthew settled into his temporary assignment in Provence, we decided to take a quick trip along the coast to see a nearby micro state. We had heard from friends that this little country was home to some very expensive toys in a very small area. Many wealthy businessmen, celebrities, and royalty make trips here to party, gamble, and relax. Well, we don't really gamble and definitely wouldn't consider ourselves wealthy, but everybody can appreciate a little ...

Dig reveals Belfast's poor past
A bit of old Belfast has come to light with archaeologists excavating in the Cathedral quarter before development begins on a former industrial site.
Part of the old 17th and 18th century town was exposed.
Part of the old 17th and 18th century town was exposed.
Although it is little more than the outline of brick walls, it has given an insight into the city's past.
It is thought about 1,000 people lived in what was a squalid area, most of them with just a room and a small yard to their name.
Office buildings and a printing press used to cover the lot at Talbot Street.

As Japan continues to face a range of challenges following the disasters caused by the March 11, 2011 earthquake, many have questioned the scope, speed, and direction of Japan's economic and political response. How can Japan best move past these recent difficulties while simultaneously coping with the aftereffects of the deepest global recession in the postwar era? When and how will Japan address its fundamental economic issues? This conference, held on the 25th Anniversary of Columbia Business School's Center on Japanese Economy and Business, will explore Japan's current and future role as a major player in the world economy, focusing on both successes and challenges. Topics will include the relationship between the U.S., China, and Japan, particularly in the context of China's rise as an economic power; Japan's ongoing political, business, and fiscal responses following the earthquake; and new branding and growth strategies for Japan's global businesses, including conference speaker Hiroshi Mikitani's highly successful e-commerce company, Rakuten. John V. Roos, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to Japan, will deliver the keynote address, examining the continuing importance of the U.S.-Japan political and economic relationship.

"I'm committed to enacting
a change in my lifestyle."
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
(MBSR) is an intensive nine-week program.
Eight classes are 2.5 hours long,
plus there is an All Day Retreat.
Pre-registration is required.
Eight classes are 2.5 hours long,
plus there is an All Day Retreat.
Pre-registration is required.
Note: The MBSR Intensive filled to capacity.
Winter enrollment is now closed. Even the waitlist was full.
The next MBSR programs will be Fall 2015. If you want to attend an MBSR before fall, contact the local hospitals. MindfulBoston
will not have an MBSR before fall.
The required Orientation Meetings for the fall semester will be held during September for the October start date.
Because of the recent media interest, there is an overwhelming demand for MBSR classes.
The application form for Fall 2015 enrollment will be posted on this site during
June 2015. MBSR is likely to fill to capacity, make sure to check back and fill out the MBSR application form before August.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a nine-session program that teaches students to
use the mind's ability to be aware.
Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn introduced the MBSR program in his
book, "Full Catastrophe Living" which details the program he established at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
This is the same program that
was mentioned in the Time Magazine article
on "The Mindful Revolution" and also Dan Harris' book "10% Happier".
Medical research is proving that the MBSR format of regular meditation practice is a powerful form
of complementary medicine.
MBSR has been offered in medical settings for many years assisting medical patients to cope with the stress that comes from
physical symptoms and illnesses.
In order to make this program more available outside of medical settings, Gena Bean has been offering public MBSR programs
in Cambridge. MBSR is designed to be available to as many people as possible.
No prior experience is necessary.
Sundays MBSR 4pm to 6:30pm
in Central Square, a historic room
at 820 Mass Ave. The room doubles as a yoga studio, so there are blankets and folding chairs.
The building is a short walk from the Central Square subway stop on the red line.
Public parking is nearby, and free on Sundays.
Mondays MBSR 6pm to 8:30pm
at the new Harvard Square location is an office at 30 JFK St.
There are chairs but no other supplies.
The building is a short walk from the Harvard Square subway stop on the red line.
Parking is expensive. Wheelchair accessibility is difficult. But our room is very fancy.

You will receive audio CDs and a workbook to bring home.
The full nine-session format MBSR is offered in the winter and fall.
It is modeled on the program that Jon Kabat-Zinn outlined in the
book Full Catastrophe Living. The semester includes eight weekly classes that are 2.5 hours long.
An All-Day (6.5 hours) Retreat is also required in addition to the eight classes.
The All-Day Retreat is scheduled for the seventh Sunday of the nine-week program.
Graduates of these programs are encouraged to continue to stay connected and continue their learning via the
Meetup group and/or the
facebook page.
Gena completed a seven-day professional MBSR training retreat taught by Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli in 2011, and
the practicum in MBSR at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in 2007.
She is dedicated to regular on-going study with senior level teachers from varied traditions in order to maintain a high
standard in her own classes.
More details about her training are listed on her bio page.
You will need to make a commitment to your own well being.
You will need to be dedicated.
Your commitment will be to participate fully in class for each week of your program,
plus there is 30 to 60 minutes of "homework" every day during those nine weeks.
Please Note: The meditation homework can be broken into small segments during your day.
There are customized options to make the program work with your scheduling needs.
If the homework requirements concern you, make sure to discuss it with the teacher.
She is dedicated to making the homework manageable for your real life.
You must complete all three steps during January in order to attend the Winter (February) MBSR class. Make sure to apply early. MBSR has
been filling to capacity.
If you have any questions call Gena Bean at 617-752-2299 or send email.
The schedule of upcoming MBSR programs, in addition to other offerings, is listed on the homepage.
Earnest students are never turned away due to financial reasons. Scholarships are available.
Payment is on a sliding scale based on income.
9-Session MBSR Programs
Payment can be made when you attend your Orientation Meeting, payable to Gena Bean.
You can pay by check, cash or credit card at your meeting. Or prepay with paypal on-line.
Payment plans are available.
Scholarships are available.
To apply for a scholarship, please review the eight questions on the
Financial Value Sheet.
Attention college students:
You are welcome to enroll in MindfulBoston courses, but you will not be eligible for
a scholarship. Many Boston-area colleges are now offering mindfulness. Your tuition at your college should
cover your education in mindfulness. Talk to your advisor about adding mindfulness training to your course
load at your school.
The MBSR program requires a lot of time and investment. You must be committed to a lifestyle change.
If you would be more interested in a simple way to learn meditation without the lifestyle components,
the Basic Mechanics of Meditation class is available
during the spring. The free Community Meditations are
the most low-key way to see a meditation without
a commitment.
Please go to the homepage for more info about MindfulBoston.

Doctor Who
The Complete Fifth Series

CommentAdd a Comment
Was watching this series and got to the fourth disc, and it's not there. Called to report this because i do not want to be held responsible for the missing disc.
Great show and me and my kids love it, cant wait to see the newest doctor in August of 2014!
I have loved Doctor Who since I was 12 watching Tom Baker on PBS... but this season (and Matt Smith in general) is just not that good. The writing is corny and Smith is just not a very good Doctor. It gets a little better in season 6... but only a little.
THRILLED that the matt smith era is over, bring on Peter Capaldi!
awesome T.A.R.D.I.S,Daleks,Cybermen
awesome versions of screwdrivers!
This show is so super awesome!
can't go a day without thinking...who?
Watch the extra scenes, makes you love Amy even more. I am a Dr fan but in all this time while I have really enjoyed the the more 'scary' episodes I have never really loved any episode in particular. This season provided my first Vincent and the Dr. was a beautifully written, composed and elegant episode. That alone is enough to give this a rating of 5. Great season
dont listen to moonlightmortal. If your gonna watch the show start from series 1. its a fantastic.
best combo of doctor and companion ever!
I Love Doctor Who!!! Matt is brillilant as the doctor. Bow Ties are Cool!!!! i just started watching this show and after the first 20 mintues i was hooked. i can't stop watching it.
so now im goning throught doctor who withdraws waiting to get series 7 part a from the library im 15 in line. RRRRRRR. Also i'm so sad. Matt has quit doctor who. he will be leaving the show in the 2013 x-mas specail. i will cry. RRRRRRR.
Live long and prosper. im out.
heehee...only just recently discovered Dr. Who(and how much I like British TV shows) 10 and 11 are definitely my favorites(though I lean a little more on the 11 side...)
Having not seen any previous Doctor Who episodes, I started with Series 5... and was completely lost. But it was a good lost, like being lost in a marshmallow forest. I thought about forgetting about trying to figure it out and just stopping watching the show entirely. So glad I continued! Matt does a great job as the Doctor, but I would recommend to anyone watching this show, to go back and watch David Tennant's Doctor. Don't just watch the Eleventh Doctor and assume you know everything there is to know about the show. Go back and watch the Tenth Doctor as well, you won't be sorry.
QuotesAdd a Quote
Young Amy: I'm not scared!
The Doctor: Course you're not, you're not scared of anything! Box falls out of the sky, man falls out of a box, man eats fish custard! And look at you... just sitting there. So you know what I think?
Young Amy: What?
The Doctor: Must be a hell of a scary crack in your wall.
"Amelia Pond, sounds like a fairy tale." the Doctor said to a young Amelia.
The Doctor: Well, you know how sometimes I have really brilliant ideas?
Amy Pond: Yeah...

I'm kinda glad summer is about over...
Cuz I'm tired.
It was a stressful summer. This year, the garden has been a constant battle against bugs and disease because of the heat and rain (and a mallow-weed with a root as wide as the county running through my entire yard, spreading rust to the Malva-family plants).
It will be good to clean up the beds, sterilize them, and put them to rest this fall. I need the break and so do they.
I have literal sores on my arms from the mosquitos this year. They were hearty and plentiful (still are, even at a daily high of 65 degrees). A horse died in a nearby town from Triple E just a couple weeks ago. If I could've worn long-sleeves when it was 90 degrees I would have, but that couldn't have been done without my passing out.
I feel like a whiner, but I'm grateful for the change in season this year, to put one tiring summer to rest!
It was a tough summer in our neck of the woods, too. Car accident, flood, family issues, health issues, garden issues (MILDEW! WOODCHUCKS! GNATS! SLUGS!). I am SO glad it's fall now (well, not officially, but close enough for me). I've started cleaning up the garden for the winter. I've moved a few things, evicted a couple things, and have a couple projects to start (a new raised bed, and mulching everything, since I didn't do it earlier in the summer for health/other reasons). I feel like I'm finally reclaiming the garden after a summer of stress and chaos. Restoring order is therapeutic on its own, and I've got a better idea what I want regarding my design next year. I need to make some notes to remind myself what I want: more late summer color in the front yard (rose/pink and pale yellow - too much purple/blue and white this year), more late summer color in the back yard (critter-resistant annuals to fill among the daylilies). And I need to remember to STAKE/CAGE a few things: the ligularia, the 'Ruby Slippers' lobelia, the peonies, the asters. I need to divide the sedums, too.
I ought to copy this list and post it on the fridge to remind myself!
Thank God it's fall. . . .
This summer has been relatively calm, compared to spring. Though things are gearing up, probably because I didn't get around to them in summer :) Lets see, I have to clean up old beds, make new beds, finish the rock path we started, harvest the compost, move some unhappy plants, rescue my strawberry and tomato beds from the over enthusiastic marigolds, cage some shrubs -I'm tired of battling the rabbits, probably move some more plants because I changed my mind about the layout.
As Laurel puts it so nicely, these are therapeutic in a way. The real chores are already taken care of, namely overseeding the lawn and getting rid of hornworms from the toms. The latter is taken care of by my older boy who relishes making green goo and making good money out of it (I pay him for each hornworm that he catches).
Well, this will probably surprise most who read it but I am a winter person! I am so very glad fall is here! If it weren't for gardening, I would probably commit some unspeakable crime every summer! I just can't stand the heat, love to shovel snow in 20 degrees. I never feel sad in winter when snow covers the gardens. I always look at it as the plants are all resting peacefully and recharging for another year of beauty. I sometimes find it so conflicting to love gardening so much and hate summer with such a passion! To each his own I guess!
I'm so glad I'm not alone...
As we speak, there is torrential rain (brought on by the beloved Lake Ontario) and accompanying thunderstorms which brings my 72 lb dog to lie under the desk on my feet (can't get much else done but type like that).
Ditto on the mildew Laurel. It is wetter than last summer was dry. Tomatoes, Bee Balm, Lilacs, etc. Can't do much to care for anything because it keeps raining whenever I can get outside.
I still have Marigolds, Summer Poinsetta, Petunias (always Petunias...lol) blooming. Cosmos, which was a reseeder from last year, is proving why I didn't pull up their volunteers. They are delightful to look at as they dance among the Sunflowers that are still hanging on, holding their own. I have California Poppies reblooming (glad I trimmed them a month ago) and the Stocks "Imperial Giants" are turning into a "must-have" for next year...they are STILL blooming...straggly (due to the way I deadheaded them), but blooming.
Dahlias, Zinnias, and Rudbeckia are still giving me vase worthy arrangements, reminding me of why I grow them.
And Laurel, you're right, it will be very therapuetic to put the beds to sleep for the winter. I think I like the snow a bit more, knowing what it does for the ground and the plants. (And DH bought us snow shoes which we never got to use last winter...maybe this year...?)
Blessings to all :-)

In honor of Memorial Day and those in the military, I've decided to rerun a newsletter about a man I deeply respect and admire who has supported members of the military and their families for years. His name is Andrew Carroll and I wrote this after a meeting with Andy a few years ago...
While almost fully
removed from our old realities in so many ways, feeling homeless is perhaps
now our only option, even if we may not know why. Perhaps wandering around
with no clear sense of "home" quite yet, we might not know where we
belong, or even what we will be doing next…even though at some level we
know very well that something very new is on the very near horizon.
a number of metaphysical circles, there is the idea that humanity's
future is predestined. According to this view, the human race and the
planet are certain to ascend into higher consciousness in a
predetermined way. The process of creation, however, is not one of
predetermination. Humanity's future is not rigidly laid out. So what is happening?
When something is hard for you to do, call on Me. Allow Me to be by
your elbow. Allow Me to help. Please know you are never alone. It
doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, I am with you. I am
with you in every sense of the word. I am here. I am here. I am here.
Our Buenos Aires
event was held at Espacio Mandala in San Isidro.
My dear friends, we love you so very much. Allow yourselves to stop, breathe, and appreciate life. It is all too easy to focus on what is not working, what needs to be done, and what bothers you, and ye, there is so much around you to be grateful for.
My beautiful dog,
Staci, a shepherd mix, that I've had for 13 years, got a terrible
infection in her leg last week. I rushed her to the vet and she was
diagnosed with cancerous tumor that caused it.

I didn't know where else to ask... I never play games on my smartphones, but this time I wanted to check out some of those demanding and awesome games that SGS5 can handle. I like anything from RPGs to racing to FPS, etc. I LOVE amazing graphics, but only if it runs smoothly. Any recommendations?
