Spend Time With Kids
Spending time with kids is inviting liberatory chaos into your life. The same kind of chaos that characterizes love, aging, illness — really anything rooted in the most vulnerable human experiences that make us feel deeply connected to one another.

When we sold the food business my parents started in the early 1980s a few years ago, I was deeply concerned it would kill my father.

Sometimes I randomly apologize to my mother for being a little shit and it makes her emotional, which confirms that I have indeed been, or still am, a little shit.
