This post is a follow-up to an earlier anon submission –editor Stop Watering Dead Flowers I have been walking through the long dusk since the burn. Smoke still in my lungs. It has been almost a year since the last time I wrote about it. Ghosts of what should have been, scattered in the corners. […]

How students began building a “tech solution to the love problem.”
The post Love at Stanford appeared first on The Stanford Daily.
It seems odd, wrong even, that “patience” and “passion” — the twin roots of love — should share a root in pāti, Latin for “to suffer.” But anyone who has lived, who has loved unskillfully or loved the unskilled, knows that the experience can be our sharpest instrument of suffering. We say we “fall” in love precisely because we know we can get bruised, know that the trap door it opens beneath our…

When I was little, I bought lots of things – tat, as dad described it. Inexpensive, transient goods that I would beg for, play with for a few weeks, and invariably discard. I was addicted to buying things; plastic, hard things I could hold in my hand and take home with me. To my younger […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Haircut 100 – Pelican West – Rating: 4 / 5 I actually really enjoyed this album. When I saw the cover looking like a bunch of Mormons hanging out at a retreat, I was like there is no way this is gonna be good. But this is the new wave I want to hear. Now to be fair, this doesn’t belong on the list, but I’m glad I got introduced […]

A woven love letter to idiom, writing and Stanford.
The post Chen | Master of none appeared first on The Stanford Daily.
In this post I will be referencing two pseudonymous works attributed to St. Clement of Rome. Despite the fact that scholars question the authenticity of these writings, they still serve as an early witness, in fact a 2nd–4th century testimony, to the beliefs of the Christians which composed them. These sources show that the author(s) affirmed the essential Deity of Christ, his Incarnation and…

Here are some devotional reflections I’ve written for my 72nd birthday: The passing of years has a way of sharpening what matters most. Looking back, I can see that life has never been a journey travelled alone. Through seasons of joy and sorrow, certainty and doubt, strength and weakness, God has remained faithful.
