To improve our friendships is to strengthen the very foundation of life. True Friendship is the second area because life is about relationship. I focus on man not to the exclusion of woman, but because I have something specific to share with other men-for the good of the whole household.
So the first area is Man of the Household. I hope you find that they speak to central aspects of your own life. LifeCraft has four areas of focus, to which I intend to devote special attention for years to come. It is a know-how of the most important kind, as it empowers us to craft a good human life, in ourselves and others. The know-how we seek here is wisdom about human life itself. A craft is a know-how that we study and that can become part of our very selves. I have changed the name both to signal a growth, and to indicate better what this work is about. LifeCraft is about discovering and applying this wisdom in today’s challenging context. There is a wisdom and generosity in the natural order of things: an order that we can discover and follow, to the benefit of all. Bacon got its name from a great truth illustrated in raising pigs. Today I have expanded Bacon from Acorns into LifeCraft. Through Bacon I have encountered many people who have challenged me, pushed me, and inspired me. In striving to live the good life, we are all in this together. I strive to learn from my teachers, both living and deceased, modern and ancient, and I strive to pass on what they help me to see. Bacon from Acorns has been my effort to share what I am blessed to call my ‘profession’-philosophy, or the love of wisdom-with a broader audience. I am happy to announce today significant new offerings at this website.
