About Me

Leeland Cole-Chu: My name is Leeland "Lee" Cole-Chu. (I combined my family name, Chu, with that of my late wife, Ruth Cole, when we married in 1979.) I am a member of the New London, Connecticut, Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, called Quakers. In our church, we have Meetings for Worship, which in our tradition are unprogrammed: instead of a service, ritual or sermon, there is silent meditation except when someone is moved to say something. This blog began as a collection of things I have said in "Meeting:" entries with a date as the title were spoken on that date in a Quaker Meeting. I now include other thoughts on spiritual matters and life in general. I share these thoughts in the hope that people will find them interesting, even helpful. How can our species develop, and our communities, economies and cultures around the world flourish if individuals do not grow in wisdom and responsibility? If what you find here is worth sharing with others, please do so, with my thanks. If you wish to do more, I invite you to donate to, or volunteer at, the charity of your choice. Thank you.
