The collection of
writings that follows may be of interest to
a) those who know
me,
b) those who once knew me and wonder how I "went bad",
c) those who thought they knew me but didn't know I was interested in
anything except physics, math, and astronomy, and
d) possibly others.
The individual writings,
which span a 30 year period, are in a variety of formats: essays, articles,
chapel talks, letters to the editor, Op Ed pieces, a "blog"
and several web sites. Each piece stands on its own, written for a specific
occasion with no thought of building toward a larger work. Their loose
coherence as a body of work emerges only in retrospect.
I have changed along
the way. I grew up in a loving, apolitical, nominally Republican, religiously
conservative, Protestant home. I am now politically progressive, religiously
a liberal Quaker, and an activist for peace and social justice. The changes
came about incrementally, not through rebellion. The writings are not
about this changing worldview, but they echo it.
