Larry Barnett: Lost in Translation - Sonoma Valley Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thereâs plenty of advice being offered to us constantly, some of it intended to capture our money and some of it to capture our attention. Advice about politics and who to vote for fills my messaging app. Which non-stick pan to buy, what sort of insurance I need, where to turn for household help, why this or that vaccine is good or bad; the avalanche of opinion is endless. Providing personal and spiritual advice quoting the Buddha and Jesus Christ is also very popular. Mostly, it appears to be
Larry Barnett: Escaping the Labyrinth - Sonoma Valley Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iâve been writing about Samsara, the human reality we create and inhabit individually and collectively. Human reality consists of belief systems, social structures and the material results of imagination.

Read excerpt
Like most of us, I keep pretty busy. Since the death of my wife of 50 years a year ago, keeping busy has provided some sense of purpose as I work through project after project. Iâve transformed the garden space around the condo I live in. Iâve kept up with the laundry, cooking, the dishes and paying the bills. I regularly get together with a small circle of friends or family, and a monthly meeting of the local Planning Commission eats up an entire evening. Book club takes up an hour and half
