Sufficiency does not equal comfort. It doesn’t mean we won’t be hungry, tired, bored or lonely if we choose to live in Sufficiency. It doesn’t mean we are exempt from failure, loss, disease or upset. It doesn’t mean we have transcended something, that we are special or unique. What I have discerned on my journeyRead the Rest…

Reflecting on Our Way (Part 6.5 of 7)
November 25th, 2009 - 3 Comments
Sufficiency is not right, but it is a right that we can harvest, a truth that exists for us to realize for ourselves. There’s no road down scarcity or road down sufficiency. For most of us the path of sufficiency is checkered with both the assumptions of scarcity and sufficiency at different times or moments. Our goal, my goal, is to lean into sufficiency more of the time.

Cancer journals #3: endurance
November 20th, 2009 - No Comments
I’ve noticed several more fascinating things about entitlement I want to share. 1. It keeps me focused on and addicted to what I don’t have. 2. I observe that I am not so hot at receiving, taking in, drinking up, resting in what I do create for myself. 3. My entitlement is righteous and hungryRead the Rest…

Sufficient Transitions: Recess from Excess (Part 5 of 7)
November 11th, 2009 - 3 Comments
Sufficiency invites us not to get rid of stuff but to allow our stuff to be part of our flow, the in and out of our lives. The gifting, the exchanging, the transferring, so that our stuff, our relationships, our ideas and our love can be part of the back and forth rhythm of life.
The Truth About Sufficiency
November 9th, 2009 - No Comments
I have just finished the Beacon Press imprint of Gandhi an Autobiography: The story of my experiments with truth (1957). Although I found M.K. Gandhi’s writing style a little irksome I am intrigued by his experiments and I wonder what, if anything, they have to do with sufficiency? What are my truths? What could myRead the Rest…
