The Thermodynamics of Justice
“The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” As our country joins many other countries around the world in turning away from the yet unfulfilled promises of liberal democracy and seeking salvation instead in authoritarian nationalism, it can be hard to see that justice shaped bend. Can we stay faithful to the work of justice here and now even when our national politics have gone so far astray?

The Tools that Shape Us
It’s hard to imagine that Gutenberg knew, as he fiddled with the mechanics of printing, that his device would foment decades of religious war and topple monarchies. Humanity shapes tool after tool, and the tools in turn shape us. How do we cultivate relationships to the tools of our age that will help to incubate our deepest values and greatest visions?

Growth Conditions
In a culture that commodifies everything, even spiritual growth becomes one more thing to be acquired, one more achievement to be attained. But true growth is not the ever-upward trendline of industry; it is the unforced unfurling of a life’s essential nature. Perhaps the growth we long for in this New Year depends more on tending to the conditions we inhabit than any resolutions to improve ourselves.
