Why I Like Both/And Better Than Either/Or


H/T to Jan at Yearning for God, for this one. She was writing about someone I quote and write about often, Richard Rohr, OFM.

Sometimes people write to me and say that they love Richard Rohr. Sometimes people say that he is a self-serving bag of wind. I say both/and!

Today my friend Paul sent me something that I had an either/or reaction to. And he showed me, in a spirit of friendship and fidelity, the both/and of what he sent me.

Life is good that way, isn't it?

Very both/and. And it would take a dog to help us figure that out!

  3. As the Zen saying goes:

    When you do not think "good" and "not good," what is your true self?

  5. For myself, I am either/or and both/and, rather that either/or or both/and.
