How We Can Communicate Better in a World of “Easy” Communication?

When texting was still pretty new, I had this text exchange with a friend about my missing cloth tote branded with a local grocery chain logo: Me: I think I left my Dominick’s bag at your house last night. I brought the ice cream in it but must have left the bag. Can I come pick it up? Friend: I didn’t notice, but I’ll look for it. [Days pass.] Me: Just wondering whether you ever found my Dominick’s bag. [No reply. Very uncharacteristic of her.] Me later that day: Never mind about the bag. It was in the back of my car.

To Read Better, Read Something Twice

  I am preparing for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), a test that obviously involves a lot of reading, and a lot of reading very complex materials. Ironically, as an English teacher, reading comprehension is the section I struggle with most — particularly science passages, which is additionally ironic because I was a neuroscience major.

Spiritual insights into dementia

Dementia is a debilitating and distressing condition for both the patient and their carers. Yet when viewed from a spiritual perspective, for some it may be a blessing in disguise. My grandmother had dementia. I didn’t know her very well because she lived quite far away, but as a child I remember hearing on many occasions that she had disappeared and then there was a tense waiting period until the news arrived that she had been found wandering around her neighbourhood and had been brought home. Medical science still does not know what causes dementia or how to prevent it, only that it has now reached epidemic proportions. Globally, over 50 million people suffer from it, and these numbers are...
