If we are not honest with ourselves, we cannot be present…
…look through the make-up and clothes and dye and see a naked, shivering run-of-the-mill girl who’s trapped in her mind, trying to get out of a contradiction in itself. Beverly Sills, an opera singer, once said, “A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn’t let them get her down.” I guess that’s why some people identify me as a pessimist and others consider me odd.

But a dog cannot plan for its retirement, protest global warming, or give a really good Devar Torah. Most adults consider children’s understanding of the world to be limited mu…
