My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

You Are Goodness
We act sometimes as though goodness existed as a separate entity, something outside of and far beyond us; and to approach it would be to leave ourselves, to climb out of our own being and denying who we had become, or who we had always been. But goodness is not outside, nor is it beyond. It is instead at the center of our being. It is the core around which we have developed, the sources as well as the goal of our progression. It is then a process completed by reaching into rather than fleeing from ourselves. We are good and always have been. Do not be afraid to recognize it as your nature. It is a name to which you can answer, rather than one you can only call.
