Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
Somewhere along the way, we agreed on a metaphor for growing older: winding down. Slower. Smaller. Stepping back. Society hands it to you like a gift and expects gratitude. But a clock that winds down stops being useful. A clock that’s fully wound keeps time — accurate, ready to chime, exactly where it should be. […]

Someone said, “He can be a bit rude.” I sat with those words, “a bit rude,” for a while. Softening isn’t always dishonest. A pattern has degree, and degree is information. “A bit rude” can be true. The difference between a man who snaps once a season and one who’s cruel every day. That’s accuracy. […]

Empathy has range, and range is built the way a garden is built, one season at a time, over years, until the soil holds more than anyone would guess from the surface. A 25 year-old and a Sager (60, 70, 80+ years) do not stand in the same number of doorways. It isn’t wisdom, it’s […]

The word “empathy” is barely a century old. English borrowed it from German — Einfühlung, “feeling into” — around 1908. But the thing itself is ancient. People were standing in each other’s shoes long before anyone gave the posture a name. Empathy isn’t a trend. It’s a practice with a long history. George Eliot understood […]

Peace isn’t luck. It isn’t something that arrives by accident on a good day and disappears on a bad one. It’s specific. Trackable. If you pay attention, you can find the pattern.

We rush from one task to the next. A list gets made, chores get checked off, and we leap, barely noticing the seam where one thing ends and another begins. I want to make the case for valuing that seam. Try this: before moving from one piece of work to the next, pause for just […]

I love the line. I don’t trust it. “If you build it, they will come” sounds good. It has faith and hope in it. What it leaves out is focusing on the work. Before, during, and after. Nobody just builds. You plan first — step by step, the unglamorous part nobody puts in the movie. […]

Curiosity feels intangible. You can’t hold it, point to it, hand it to someone. And yet it never stops working. It’s active every hour of every day, whether we notice it or not — a strong desire to learn, to understand, to know what’s on the other side of the not-knowing. Watch a child for […]

Mystery is everywhere, and most of the time we don’t even notice it. We spend our lives trying to explain things. Why she left. Why he stayed. Why the ending happened the way it did. We want the answer, the reason, the neat unlocking of the thing. And yet — some of the best moments […]

“Noodling” is one of those words that seems like a throwaway until you actually look under the hood, and then it turns out to be a whole little universe of wonder. I was noodling the other day, jotting down random thoughts for a blog post, no plan, just following one idea into the next, when […]
