 Editor’s note: One of the greatest acts of kindness is to simply offer ourselves and our space to others. When we hold space, we show up in a way that takes responsibility for tuning in to what others naturally have to offer, and creating avenues for those offerings to emerge. Our stories this week reflect on the kindness offered just by being present and holding space for others. –Ameeta |

Rebecca Solnit: Falling Together
Rebecca Solnit, author and contributing editor of Harper’s, seeks “to describe nuances and shades of meaning, to celebrate public life and solitary life…to find another way of telling.” Her profound books defy category as she chronicles untold histories of redemptive change in places like post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans because, “when all the ordinary divides and patterns are shattered, people step up to become their brother’s keepers.” Read on for more of her thoughts in an interview by Krista Tippet. { read more }
Be The Change
One of Solnit’s books is Hope in the Dark, which she wrote to affirm “that darkness is a kind of mysterious, enveloping sense of possibility and communion.” See if you can find a new point of view about the challenges you face in the next few days or explore a new attitude to darkness. |
