Beyond Dichotomy.

Welcome to Love & Philosophy, where we’re highlighting the patterns that connect across disciplines, holding what might seem irreconcilable, all the while focusing on how a new approach to life and mind might better address the urgent divides and challenges we face. We think of it as way-making.

Way-making is a term inspired by Taoism, and can be understood as the movement of the body as well as the movement of the mind: “Way-making blunts the sharp edges and untangles the knots; it softens the glare and brings things together on the same track.” (Ames and Hall, 2003). Your ideas and collaboration are welcome.

Embracing Paradox.

A Light Little Guide for the Times (44 pages)

This is Book One of the Embracing Paradox series published by Making Ways. It’s about the ability to hold seemingly contradictory ideas in mind at once, while maintaining motivation and meaning in troubled times.

​As F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." This book is a step in that direction.
