Holding Life Consciously

Arthur Zajonc, a professor of physics at Amherst College, and the author of Meditation as Contemplative Inquiry: When Knowing Becomes Love,” was diagnosed with stage one Parkinson’s Disease earlier this year. He will be featured on this week’s program “Speaking of Faith,” - Holding Life Consciously- that airs on Public Radio (local schedules vary). You can also go to the Speaking of Faith Website and listen to it or download to your MP 3 player. A transcript will follow next week. The website has some interesting things to read including a piece “A Culture of Availability to Everybody But Yourself?”

Some other sites relating to Zajonc:
