  Everything I Feared About China Was Wrong

  May 27, 20265 minS3

  <p>When my husband’s friend invited us to his wedding in Chongqing, China, I was hesitant to RSVP in the affirmative. It was far and plane tickets were expensive, but mainly I was anxious. China’s government is scary, right? I’d read plenty of news reports about government corruption and the lack of due process, not to mention the Uygur genocide. I’ve long followed the career of Chinese dissident artist, Ai Weiwei, and was horrified at his arrest for making art criticizing the government’s response to the Great Sichuan Earthquake.</p><p>Even discounting my probably irrational...

  How to Make Friends with Fear

  May 20, 20266 minS3

  <p>Maybe you’re thinking to yourself: why would I want to do that? Maybe that phrasing strikes you as odd. Don’t we want to get rid of fear? It’s not only an unpleasant feeling, it’s one that we judge ourselves for. We want to see ourselves as brave, so we try to ignore or resist feeling fear. </p><p>The trouble is, the more you try to resist an emotion, the stronger it gets. Our bodies were designed to keep us alive, not happy, so the more you try to push away your fear, the stronger it will...

  What Will People Think?

  May 13, 20264 minS3

  <p>Early in my blogging career, I pitched my first-ever interview. I wanted to ask a local butcher about ethical meat buying. In emails, he seemed eager for the exposure. I don’t know if he checked out my itty-bitty blog before agreeing, what I do know is that I walked in with my notebook, recorder, and my toddler son in a stroller, the butcher took one look at us and doubled over laughing.</p><p>I’m not exaggerating—he laughed at me for an uncomfortably long time. Long enough for my patient smile to fall off my face. Long e...

  Confessions of a Scaredy-Cat

  May 6, 20264 minS3

  <p>Here’s the thing no one warns you about healing: once you stop numbing all your feelings and start facing yourself, you’ll be confronted with a lot of ugliness. </p><p>You think you’re a nice person? Look, here are all your petty resentments! </p><p>Pretty sure you’re capable? Here are all your failures and shortcomings! </p><p>Think you’re rational? Behold your bizarre late-night fears!</p><p>I speak from personal experience. As I’ve worked towards mindfulness, I’ve noticed how much fear dominates my thinking.</p><p><p>Heretic Hereafter is a reader-suppo...

  The Sacred Power of an Off-Key Beatles Song

  Apr 29, 20264 minS3

  <p><p>“There are no unsacred places. There are only sacred places and desecrated places.”</p><p>-Wendell Berry</p></p><p>A few years ago, I was hanging out with a friend who’s an Episcopal priest, when the topic of wedding music came up. I told her that I’d walked down the aisle to The Beatles’ “And I Love Her,” played by my brother, Karl, on acoustic guitar.</p><p>My friend explained that, in the Episcopal church, “only sacred music is allowed,” so no Beatles for weddings.</p><p>I wondered if she was right. Ought I have marched dow...
