Most of us are river people. We just haven’t chosen which river.

Labyrinths stand for elder caring work, and for conversation within that work. You are in a place dark and foreboding, with directions and bits and pieces of information scattered, now a straight line, now a fork in the road. When you start connecting them you see that there is a path into and out of the woods and sometimes there is only one way in and one way out, a path of making meaning.

People who seek to avoid paying for health insurance premiums for their employees by reducing work hours so it is not required for them: you are stealing from your employees. You are putting money in your own pockets out of the mouths of those who have less defenses. Shame! People who seek to avoid other “legal” requirements—such as workers compensation premiums or wage and hour rules or unions—by using many people as floaters instead of fewer people with predictable incomes: you likewise. What you see as restrictions on your rights as business people are society saying this is the baseline of what it means to be human and humane to one another. Interesting, you are the same people who make a great show of religion; while at the same time thinking all the Bible stories about rich men taking from poor men does not apply to yourselves.
