life, and the sooner the better. A lifelong writer and editor who loves the
power and mystery of language, for 10 years he has spiraled deeper and
deeper into the work of The Ojai Foundation. He is an experienced council

"If there is any positive side to stark changes coming our way, it may be in
the benefits of close communal relations, of having to really work
intimately (and physically) with our neighbors, to be part of an enterprise
that really matters and to be fully engaged in meaningful social enactments
instead of being merely entertained to avoid boredom.

Years from now, when we hear singing at all, we will hear ourselves, and we
will sing with our whole hearts."
