Welcome! 

If you’ve looked around my website you’ve probably figured out a common theme in my writing and speaking is the relationship between ethical living, spirituality, common sense, and a connection to those around us.

Perhaps you’ve also figured out that I’m not one of those who subscribe to Mencken’s definition of religion as “the nagging feeling that someone, somewhere is having a good time.” I believe that a sense of purpose can go hand in hand with a sense of humor as we try to understand those great spiritual issues that both bewitch and bewilder us.

I hope what’s gathered here provides useful, thought provoking reflection or conversation. Take a look and feel free to email me at erik@erikkolbell.com.

Peace,

Erik
