Notice that this is "week 22," which means this contains my verses for the Calendar of the Soul for this week. If you want verses for week 23, you'll just scroll down near the bottom (Episode 2, week 23), and so forth. Thank you for listening this year! I had fun. --jackmills@mac.com

Part II with Arielle. This is my last conversation for these podcasts, and I could not have had a better (smarter, more loving) person to talk with. Topics: immigration, racism, anarchy, community organizing, and how a person (of any/no color) could actually help.

Arielle and I talk about her work helping victims of domestic violence, but also of white privilege and the difficulties of teaching others to care.

Part II with Laura. We talk about the (poor) picture we Americans have of mideast countries, and the picture other countries have of us (Trump).

This week, part I of a conversation with Laura about her learning/speaking Arabic, being open to strangers, open to the world. Lovely.

Part II with Kofi. More about how to deal personally with racism. Non-violence, Brexit, complaining to God about how messed up things are. Being awake to the war, and the 23rd Psalm. I love talking with Kofi so much!

Kofi and I talk one last time here. We start by innocently making fun of Trump, but the conversation quickly turns to racism, as any about Trump should. Part I this week.

My newest friend, Ethan, talked with me from a mountain top about life, love, and the surprise of monogamy.

Part II with Oduro. Miracles, and the futility of suicide.

Very happy to talk with Oduro this week. Happiness, God, worry, money (the opposite of God is money, right?) Oduro, Kofi, Barbara and I were in Dornach together. Great people.

Terry & I talk about creativity, love, and art. You should try to find his album, Stick Figures.

The verses for the week, of course, but then only my lame excuse for not editing a conversation for this week.

A conversation with Patrick, a wise youth of my acquaintance. Wise in youth or playful/flexible in old age: which is more rare and treasured!

Part II of my conversation with Toni. This is the best conversation on race (racism) I've ever had with anyone, ever. With laughter (sometimes)!

I talked with Toni again! This time we talked about strangers, about mental illness, falling in love, and an app that shows you which of your friends are racist.

Nathan & I talk about acting, identity, living well, and his great voicemail message.

Mary & I talk about eurythmy, and why it's not as popular as football.

Part II of Ian's conversation about identity. This part might be even better than the first, for his depth of insight.

Ian & I talked about identity, drugs, and meditation.

Sarah and I talk about fear and singing.

Part II of my conversation with Eoin, where we talk about the hopeful November where the current nationalist-racist party completely vanishes. Or not.

The Calendar of the Soul verses click over to Week 1 this week as I post a conversation with Eoin (in Taipei), "Airports & Huts."

Mary talked with me about her work with the environment. It can be depressing when what needs to happen requires lots of people to be smart (like voting, or keeping the world livable). We try to help each other to feel better.

I talked with Molly (in Germany) about how the world sees us Americans now. Of course we talked about Trump, ignorance, and racism.

Kellie introduced me to Toni, who introduced me to Alicia. Great people, wonderful conversations! This one is about solutions.

A brief excerpt from a conversation I had with Patrick about new ideas in economics.

George and I talked about religion, anecdotal evidence, and belief.

Karl in the North talked with me about art and coffee.

Toni and I had a very lively conversation about decisions, not including who to vote for.

A fine talk with Delila about the deepest things.

After tuning her piano, I had a lovely talk with Kelli.

Kofi and I work a little harder on this idea of choice, but we enjoyed it.

Rosa talked with me in her language classroom.

Bill and I talked about teaching and learning.

A New Year's Day talk with Bridget! She is my very capable lawyer.

Jessie talked with me one more time before going back to school.

Part two of our conversation about Christ, in which Kofi and I try to avoid pessimism and depression.

Kofi and I, who are not religious, try to talk about Christ.

Jessica tells me about living in an adobe oven, and her work with Food Not Bombs. I think she's great.

My friend, Faith, dropped by on her way to Moab. We had a conversation, of course.

I am thankful this week that Kellie talked with me about helping and bombings and fear and raising kids.

So happy to talk with Arielle! We talk about how we can all help each other, which is very appropriate for this week.

Nathan broke his foot, which is why we were able to have such a lovely conversation.

A conversation with my good friend, Chip, a concert pianist and computer wiz. We talk about the dust bowl days, anger, pedagogy, courage, flying upside down over trees: the usual stuff.

Conversation with brother Dan. It starts out slowly, but we talk about truth, UFO's, the Pauli exclusion principle, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and dying well, with lots of laughs.

This week, Chorel and I talk about pushing 28, and how very old that is. Also we talk about love and partners and kids and quitting certain substances.

Part two of a conversation with Canyon about getting over a one's upbringing, about the selfishness of the twenty's, being/not being an artist, going one's own way. (Part one was Episode 4.)

A conversation with Jim about emotions that sometimes trouble us, like paranoia and depression, and how human connection can help. Very tender. Thank you, Jim!

A conversation with a Waldorf High School teacher, Maria Victoria. We talk about "Goethean Observation" and how it is used as a method of inquiry.

The weekly verses plus part one of a conversation with Canyon. We talk about him being (and getting over being) a Waldorf student, about morality and selfishness, about being twenty-something, and other things.
