Purposeful Wanderings - Bradford L. Glass - July 2026 "To pay attention. That is our endless and proper work." – Mary Oliver 25 years ago, I began the Purposeful Wanderings journey … a monthly inquiry into authentic living. I didn’t know where the path might lead. Reflecting now, I feel gratitude – for you, as participants in the journey, as inspiration, both for my journey and (I hope) yours. I honor your interest, connectedness, comments, wisdom.

Glass - March 2026 “The veil that clouds your eyes will be lifted by the hands that wove it.” – Kahlil Gib ran As noted last month, I enjoy creating perspectives to let you see your journey in new ways. We all learn differently. Last month, I offered a rather in-your-face summary of the path explored over the previous five months of articles.

Purposeful Wanderings - Bradford L. Glass - February 2026 “We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.” – Carl Sagan As I contemplate the path to living authentically – which I do often – I enjoy creating perspectives that bring the journey to life … either with in-your-face summaries or with strong visuals. (We all learn differently.) Here’s one of the former. Next month, one of the latter. If you’ve followed the 5-part se
