I know those words. My lovers have ascribed them to me too&#8230; a little boy, Peter Pan, the man who never got out of the...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let me say the number and let you sit with it. Ninety-plus times. Thirty weeks. That’s this year so far, and the year isn’t done. I did the math because a recent article made me curious. Ninety in thirty weeks puts me on pace for well over a hundred and fifty encounters this year, good...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I rarely write about political events now that I have established my home in Barcelona, but this past week needs to be addressed. Last week, almost sixty thousand people swam from Morocco toward a Spanish beach in Ceuta. According to Reuters, seventy-two of them died in the water. And within hours, the far right had...]]></description>

Now I...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I turned 68 this year, and as I read a fascinating article in&#160;The Atlantic&#160;this week, the question hit me: am I still middle-aged? The instinct is to laugh it off. Sixty-eight sounds like a number that should settle the matter. But I’ve spent twenty years building a framework I call The Quest, My Theory of Being, that...]]></description>
