- [Standing for Justice and Empathy with Humility](https://johnkinyon.com/standing-for-justice-and-empathy-with-humility/) - In the delicate balance between standing for justice and promoting empathy, I struggle with how to hold these two together simultaneously.

- [Holding Paradox to Bridge Our Differences](https://johnkinyon.com/holding-paradox-to-bridge-our-differences/) - Bridging our differences is, I believe, what we humans now need to do to survive and support the flourishing of Earth, yet it seems impossibly out of reach.

- [Inoculation For Outrage](https://johnkinyon.com/inoculation-for-outrage/) - This weekend was the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attack on the U.S.. Thinking of 9/11 reminds Americans of the trauma of that day and entering into the “War on Terror.” It can remind us also of the daily trauma and terror of the staggering amounts of violence and human-generated suffering still happening around
- [Our Afghan Story Revisited](https://johnkinyon.com/our-afghan-story-revisited/) - Close to 20 years ago I went to Pakistan with my close colleague Ike Lasater to work with Afghan tribal elders in a refugee camp along the border.

Together we are on a path to bring more empathic connection to the world one conversation at a time. Schena is launching a new platform called Chai with Schena,
- [Returning Home](https://johnkinyon.com/returning-home/) - I’ve lately been thinking back on my childhood and remembering how I would look to Nature and Life for a mothering spiritual presence that was absent in physical form. I’m sure I didn’t think of it this way then, but as I look back I believe that’s what I was doing. It has been with
- [Faith and Courage](https://johnkinyon.com/faith-and-courage/) - I want to write about faith and courage, and share with you about a particular core conflict dynamic with my wife Schena that has been quite repetitive and challenging for us over our now almost 19 years of marriage.

- [Resistance](https://johnkinyon.com/resistance/) - I deeply believe that humanity’s path out of this time of growing crisis is to not only support a new way of being but to also resist the current social-political-economic system that is killing us and life on the planet. The way I see to resist, however, is with empathy and care. As I understand
- [Reaching Critical Mass](https://johnkinyon.com/reaching-critical-mass/) - This week as the U.S. population continues to be dangerously divided on who won the presidential election, and the surging pandemic takes its devastating toll, I have been more deeply than ever contemplating the question, how can empathic communication go further out into the world to help people and the planet? What came first were

Last week in the U.S. was the online Democratic National Convention, and this week is the Republican Convention. The difference between the narratives of the two parties is astounding, as different as night and day. The differences of belief people hold around
- [Liberty and Justice for All?](https://johnkinyon.com/liberty-and-justice-for-all/) - This past weekend was the 4th of July, Independence Day holiday in the U.S. It is meant to be a celebration of liberty, equality, and opportunity. But instead of celebration I feel deep mourning and pain. The American mythology is that liberty, equality, and opportunity are for everyone. Yet from the formation of this country
- [Control](https://johnkinyon.com/control/) - I believe we’re seeing in the world the inevitable effects of the temptation for us humans to use our intelligence to control – Nature, people, groups, nations, ourselves — and control so easily slides into domination, oppression, and exploitation. It’s inevitable what happens in the paradigm of separation and materialism in which we live. Control
- [Outrage](https://johnkinyon.com/outrage/) - I want to write about outrage, the way my mind and heart and belly can flare at the wrongness I see in the world, especially at the people who I see as thinking and acting wrongly.

- [Economics, Politics, and Conversation Based in Universal Health](https://johnkinyon.com/economics-political-conversation-and-universal-health/) - The U.S. congress has now passed four massive financial stimulus/relief bills. From what I have seen, heard, and read my understanding is that a large portion of support from these bills (trillions of dollars) is going to large corporations and the wealthy, including big tax benefits. Whereas other segments of the population are receiving a
- [Empathic Conversation & Politics](https://johnkinyon.com/empathic-connection-politics/) - As I write this, it is just a few days after the U.S. Senate acquitted Donald Trump of impeachment.

- [Radical Understanding In a Post-Truth World: Part 2](https://johnkinyon.com/radical-understanding-in-a-post-truth-world-part-2/) - As difficult as it can be to do, the practice of radical empathic understanding — letting go attachment or desire for shared belief — becomes in my view not only a meaningful and valuable personal challenge but also a way to contribute to the larger world culture of “post-truth.” It may be a way that
- [Empathy and Mindfulness with Inner Conversations of Fear and Anxiety](https://johnkinyon.com/empathy-and-mindfulness-with-inner-conversations-of-fear-and-anxiety/) - I am wondering how you are doing with the impacts of the Coronavirus? How intense is the fear and anxiety for you? Are you scared about protecting and providing for yourself and those you love? As we humans deal with the intensity of this challenge that Nature is bringing to us, it is so easy
- [Care for us, and them, during these difficult times](https://johnkinyon.com/care-for-us-and-them-during-these-difficult-times/) - As we humans deal with the global challenge of Coronavirus, I am seeing the way systems here in the U.S. are set up and functioning in ways that make the non-wealthy particularly vulnerable. The strong government support and social safety nets we had decades ago have been drastically weakened over time, and now as this
