More From Barbara Ehrenreich

With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence. it was an old song, old as the breed itself--one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.

What is common in all these dreams is obvious. they completely satisfy wishes excited during the day which remain unrealized. they are simply and undisguisedly realizations of wishes.

Autism is a big continuum, going from someone who remains nonverbal, all the way up to geniuses on silicon valley. and some kids are visual thinkers like me. other kids are pattern thinkers - your mathematicians, your programmers. and there are others, they are word thinkers. uneven skills. you need to take the thing that they're good at and you need to work on developing it.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. there are jokes i tell in the show that don't get laughs unless i am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! the guileless aren't our audience - it's the critical thinkers we love.

Nothing worthy can be built on a neglect of higher meanings and on a relativistic view of concepts and culture as a whole. indeed, something greater than a phenomenon confined to art can be discerned shimmering here beneath the surface - shimmering not with light but with an ominous crimson glow.

Fortunately art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.

Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. the child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature; it comes into the world crying. praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.

What’s most important is what you can’t see but can feel in your heart. to be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts. but even activities that appear fruitless don’t necessarily end up so. that’s the feeling i have, as someone who’s felt this, who’s experienced it.
