A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
Reciprocity is a dance like life itself. The air we breathe, the food we eat, the wounds we carry, and the love we share are all given and received. Reciprocity reminds us to look beyond roles to relationship. When we give without differentiating self from other, and when we receive without differentiating it from the giving, then we can find the gift of dana everywhere.
Our life seems to be composed of a near-constant series of choice points. This brand new Dharma Talk explores both how we can bring wisdom, openness, and possibility to our so-called choices, and also points beyond our usual ideas and beliefs about choice and decision-making.
