What a grand way to start the new year! Whenever I encounter an offering from Parker Palmer, I know I'm in for a treat. I love the Mary Oliver quotation as well as the words that precede it. Thank you.

Empty ad hominem attacks are all those locked in a cell of cognitive dissonance ever have to offer to the conversation. Calling others "Retarded" as you have here is a simple self-defense mechanism called projection. You are projecting what you hate about yourself on others to avoid damaging your own ego.
