Gary Lindorff's New Wasichu, Crossing: Our Story is Just Beginning, is the distillation of several decades of experience, study and practice in three over-lapping fields of access to certain wellsprings of healing and transformation: Jungian Psychology, Native American wisdom traditions and shamanism. What is offered here is a way through the gathering darkness of our times. The author has braided together a carefully researched, sometimes autobiographical narrative-lifeline that guides the reader ever deeper into a landscape of dreams, intentionality, revelation and real answers to the problems that we face as human beings. Chapter by chapter the path to the future becomes less metaphorical, more substantial and walkable.The writing circumambulates certain archetypal themes. One such theme is crossing for spiritual survival. At the same time the reader is equipped to orient him- or herself by a new (or older than old) set of coordinates, facilitating participation in an epic crossing to something more human and more sustainable. Another recurrent theme is the return of the doppelganger or our soulful double, which, it turns out, embodies the template of the undamaged self. The reader must expect a wild ride calculated to cover a lot of territory fairly quickly but, in the end, we must each carry our own weight as the journey continues. This is a book for the stout-hearted. It poses questions that pop-psychology and New Age faddism will never address. The currents Lindorff taps are deep and clear, the pools of reflection are intellectually, emotionally and intuitively quenching.

The post-Inaugural Women’s March on January 21, 2017 was, in a word, remarkable. Across the globe, millions of people gathered to share their concerns about how our world was changing and how the values we hold dear were being threatened. One of the striking features of the marches, in addition to the absence of violence and the presence of men and women and children of all ages and stages, of all races and ethnicities, were the signs.  These signs — as varied as the marchers themselves — messaged loudly and clearly.  The signs spoke to the concerns we confront and the pressing need to speak up and out. But, the signs also were a message to and for our children and our children’s children — we need to insure that they inherit a world of which we can be proud and in which they can exist with decency and respect and grace. The people at the marches — many  with children or grandchildren in tow — were signaling to the world: let’s teach our children well. That is our responsibility. That is our charge. That is our obligation.

The rigidity with which extremists on the left and the right cling to their views can lead to animosity and acts of violence as they try to preserve their points of view. What can be done to minimize the "you're wrong/I'm right" conflicts? R. E. Markham maintains that the solution is not to create some new religious or political ideology consisting of elaborate beliefs and rituals. Instead, he argues that we need a deep perspective, inaccessible to sense and intellect, that acknowledges a fathomless and wordless dimension of reality. Awareness of such a perspective casts our human meanderings and struggles into relief. A long-time professor of interdisciplinary studies at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, R.E. Markham's eclectic background includes studies in political science, sociology, philosophy, general semantics, Zen Buddhism, developmental psychology, and the theologies of Paul Tillich, Nikolai Berdyaev, and Thomas Merton. Books by Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong, Elaine Pagels, and others proposing new interpretations of Christianity have also been influential.

On June 1, 1943, the B17E, Texas #6 did not return from its reconnaissance mission over New Guinea. Navigator Charles Lewis was declared missing in action. On December 3, 1944, Rifle Company I, 3rd Battalion, attacked the town of Lucherberg, Germany and twenty two of those American GIs were taken prisoner. Charlie’s younger brother Ben was one of them. Sadie Lewis had tried everything to keep her boys Charlie and Ben from joining the fight in World War II. Once her sons were missing, she tried everything to get them back. Sadie’s Boys tells the story, through letters and official documents, of two poor Jewish soldiers from Brooklyn who fought for their country and of the mother who fought for her sons.
