The Wholeness Ethics Blog: June 2012
http://www.wholenessethics.org/2012_06_01_archive.html
The Wholeness Ethics Blog. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Hurt People and Good Hygiene. I live with a lot of hurt people — both prisoners and staff. I know they’re hurt because they become hurters themselves and go through life inflicting pain and harm of one kind or another on everyone around them. The word “whole” means of be free of wound or injury or to be healed and restored. Your first reaction to this might well be that it’s an admirable pipe dream but it will never happen. We’re told t...Not long ago ...

The Wholeness Ethics Blog: The Three W's
http://www.wholenessethics.org/2012/07/hree-ws.html
The Wholeness Ethics Blog. Saturday, July 14, 2012. I've been eating a few radishes lately — the worms ate over half of one of my two rows — and yesterday I had some turnip greens but for the most part not much is happening on the gardening front. I once heard that, after planting, gardening is all abut the. Three W's: weeding, watering and waiting. So this is what I've been doing. I go out usually every day. When I miss a day, I'm amazed at how the plants have shot up. August 6, 2012 at 8:51 AM. What Is...

The Wholeness Ethics Blog: December 2011
http://www.wholenessethics.org/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Wholeness Ethics Blog. Friday, December 23, 2011. A feeling of peace settled somewhere close to me as I crushed up Saltine crackers in a bowl, and Del sat across from me chopping up two green apples we had saved from the chow hall. We were making a Christmas pie for the room. Christmas was still five days away, but the general season is upon us. It’s still a time of mixed feelings for me. Links to this post.

The Wholeness Ethics Blog. Thursday, August 2, 2012. The Values Behind Bullying. Is this really the most enlightened response to bullying we can come up with? It seems to me more of an affirmation that the bullies were right: "Yeah kids, we agree; she is ugly." Never mind that we're talking about a normal, even above-average looking, teen girl. Because it's nothing but our own values carried to their logical conclusion. This is true of all childhood craziness from bullying to school shootings. A foundati...

The Wholeness Ethics Blog: The Two-Pronged Test
http://www.wholenessethics.org/2012/06/two-prong-test.html
The Wholeness Ethics Blog. Monday, June 4, 2012. The other day a long-time acquaintance insulted and attempted to humilate me in front of several other people. The behavior was hurtful and unwarranted and later I pulled him aside and told him this. He responded, “Okay,” and unapologetically walked away. This is a fairly global response in our culture: When people hurt us we try to hurt them back. It’s a matter of justice, right? Thinking about this led me to add a second part to my commitment. Not on...
