Building something, big or small, takes tremendous effort. It takes an act of radical trust. Courage is not a feeling, but an action. In a culture increasingly defined by consumption, finger-pointing, and overwhelming complacency, an earnest spiritual practice feels like a quiet provocation.

“You are at high risk of major blood loss.” This is not what you want to hear when you’re preparing for surgery. Only four months prior, I completed a triathlon. Now, draped in a hospital gown, my body no longer felt my own. A cadre of doctors and nurses checked in every few hours, and…

This week’s shootings in Atlanta are unfortunately the latest in a growing number of violent acts against the Asian American community.
