Now That We're Here . . . How should we live? Thursday, February 21, 2013. Life, Death and Change. Our son, Shiv Carroll Mehra. Things have drastically changed in my life since the last time I posted on this blog. The biggest change is that I am now a parent: Nishta and I adopted a little son this past summer. He was born on July 17, and as we watched him emerge from his birth mother's body, I felt my life and heart dramatically alter. He was so tiny and helpless, yet strong and loud! Love you, too.

Now That We're Here . . . How should we live? Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Yesterday, I stood looking out over our backyard lake and saw something remarkable. A large raptor - a hawk, osprey, eagle, I don't know - stood in the newly mowed grass a foot or so above the concrete embankment that circles the lake. As soon as I saw him, I grabbed the binoculars to get a closer look. The whole episode as I watched it lasted not more than 60 seconds. Commonplace events like this brim with a grace and beauty made ever...

Now That We're Here . . . How should we live? Saturday, January 22, 2011. In the Thick of Things. My friend Steve Quill invited me to duck hunt with him in Port O'Connor this past week. The season ends in a few days and I begin chemotherapy soon. So, I skipped out on some things and rearranged others in order to spend some time in the duck blind. Before we could even look at each other, another group buzzed in from behind us and joined the ducks on the water. Then another group came. And another&...We we...

What I want, however- and what I think I and all law-abiding, tax paying citizens deserve regardless of their sexual orientation- are the same legal rights that straight people already get in their relationships simply from having them recognized by the government. In short, I want equality. And because of today’s decision, we are closer to getting it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Audio lecture - $1.99. View my...

Now That We're Here . . . How should we live? Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Back In the Swing of Things - Outside. A hummingbird feeding at one of my parents' feeders in Louisiana. I like to be outside. To see the sky, feel the wind and the sun, smell the breeze, and see whatever else is out here. Perhaps, that's just it. Our world is a thrilling place of wonder and mystery, even right here in the suburbs of one of the country's largest cities. And it's going on all day every day. Audio lecture - $1.99.

This week I had the last of my appointments for a while at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The tumor they cut from my chest was a Stage 1, everything else came out clean, and I'm done with treatment. I'm as cancer free now as I've ever been. I have a sense of vulnerability I didn't have a few months ago. Rationally, most of know that we control rel...

For the last two years, the purple martins who live in our backyard box during the spring and summer have returned from their Brazilian winter during the first week of February. Again, it seems, the purple martins have returned to their part-time home at exactly the right time. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Kali: My Chemical Hurricane.
