Paul and Dan on The Book of Joy (by the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Abrams)

We talk about standing (not sitting) in the messy world, worrying about how messy the world is, problems that are big and far away, giving of yourself, companionable faith, Paul's suspicions about the story Abrams tells, teaching versus demonstrating, and what if suffering ennobles?

Paul and Dan on The Book of Joy (by the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Abrams)

We talk about my cancer, faith as foundational to hope and hoping for faith, Paul and my different religious backgrounds, faith as a companion, nuclear war and worst possibilities, and choices (more on them next week).
