On occasion, I am motivated to write. Subjects vary but increasingly over the last few years I have written about social and political observations. I’ve assembled this collection of essays, some of which have been previously published, that are focused on a civics theme. A few personal writings are also included to provide some sense of the background that colors my perspective.

I have a sense that we are presently immersed in a living history that others will write about in the future with the benefits of hindsight and a broad lens. But I am mindful that it is we who must live this history now as it comes to us and as we create it. The choices we make, whether inert or proactive, will define us. They always have. Awareness makes the difference.
