Moving

This practical humanist will be off line for a couple of days. Moving house across town necessitates my full attention and dealing with cable communications technicians to get my access to the Web. There are more than 1100 of my essays here on Blogger. I don't think this short break will break my habit.

I am using this move as a learning experience about the meaning of person, place and change. A year ago, after my mother's death, I was cleaning out her house, where she had lived for 56 years. It was another kind of learning experience about person, place and change. Soon I will be joined by my partner of nine years in the new house. We will be learning together about person, place and change.

Life for the conscious is an accumulation of lessons about person, place and change. Without learning, life is simply a repetition of behaviors without wisdom. So, while I am learning from my move, I hope those of you who read my blog will also be learning, perhaps in part from my short absence.
