@gregthomas22 Happy Birthday, Greg! Keep swingin'

My love surprised me for my birthday with a sail boat experience.

Every Monday, @Omni_American_ will feature a quote from an American philosopher of the blues and jazz, Albert Murray, whose ideas profoundly influenced the development of the largest organization in the world devoted to jazz, @jazzdotorg #MurrayMondays

Killer conversation, @gregthomas22 dropping Integral Theory on @GlennLoury… Greg’s vital voice offers a real path beyond polarization. Thanks to @NikitaSPetrov, @robertwrighter and @agoldbergjazz for facilitating the connection.

@AryehCW Truly a bind for anti-anger activists.

No real compassion without wisdom.

If you don't think my Will Smith/Chris Rock take is the best Will Smith/Chris Rock take, let's step outside and settle this like men. nonzero.substack.com/p/chris-rock-i…

Just finished this wonderful book by @robertwrighter. A thoughtful, profound, and accessible treatment of a very important, interesting, and valuable topic. Highly recommended...

@integralrising :)

Deep, integral interview on race, jazz and cultural transformation with the wise and wonderful @gregthomas22 . There's a third way beyond polarization; Greg is charting that path. Grateful to @agoldbergjazz for introducing me. joshsummers.net/podcast/race-j… via @middlewayjosh

@gregthomas22 Greg's voice brings a wide, integral lens to our polarized discourse on race and culture. It's a delight to discover a new teacher that embodies such wisdom and heart.

I deeply enjoyed this conversation with Josh Summers, who came into my sphere through our mutual friend, jazz musician Aaron Goldberg. Race, Jazz and Healing | Greg Thomas joshsummers.net/podcast/race-j… via @middlewayjosh

I had a really great chat today with @NikitaSPetrov about why he just left Russia, what things are like there, and his hopes and fears about its future. You can watch here or listen on The Wright Show podcast. youtube.com/watch?v=kpubpY…

@BenBurgis Just DMed you ;)

Probably won't make it back to the Post Office until early next week but I just finished inscribing ten more copies. That leaves 23 of the original 100 not yet spoken for.

Excellent podcast by @10percent with @robertwrighter on cognitive and emotional empathy and why listening to people with whom you disagree is important. tenpercent.com/podcast-episod… @danbharris is a great host and has been my running partner for the last several weeks now.

Mindfulness is the root of all the methods that tame the mind. First it focuses the mind. Then it eases the mind. Finally it is the luminous nature, beyond thoughts. Patrul Rinpoche

Sorry to hear about the death of Edward O. Wilson. His legacy is hard to capture (the NYT obit does a pretty good job), but he was one of the most interesting and impressive people I ever met. Here's a conversation I had with him couple of decades ago: youtube.com/watch?v=j1ubIT…
