A COSMOPOLITAN LAWYER: JUST SOME READINGS I HAVE ENJOYED LATELY

First, this blog replaces my previous blog, thecosmoplitanlawyerblogspot.com . Second, unlike that earlier blog, the present one is primarily meant as a record of my readings. It is not meant to suggest that others will be or should be interested in what I read. And third, in a sense, it is a public diary of one who is an alien in his own American culture. A person who feels at home just about anywhere, except in his birthplace . . . America.

"MAY I BE FREE FROM ATTACHMENT AND AVERSION, BUT NOT BE INDIFFERENT."

Thich Nhat Hanh, Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child (Berkeley: Parallax Press, 2010) ("May I know how to nourish the seeds of joy in myself every day. / May I be able to live fresh, solid, and free. / May I be free from attachment and aversion, but not be indifferent." Id. at 85.).
