 Editor’s note: Polarization occurs when neither side feels like they are being truly "heard". Bridging major divides starts with deep listening. Sometimes, it takes an unexpected situation, like a long car trip, to bring people on opposing sides together to appreciate and listen to one another (as revealed in this recent story). Perhaps, we should all try reaching out to the "other" and really listen to their side. -Ameeta |

Greeting the Light: A Conversation with James Turrell
“I was a Quaker and then, for a while, I wasn’t. And now I am again,” Thus begins a deep conversation with one of the worlds most important artists. Learning to fly when he was sixteen, later he flew monks out of Tibet. “I feel like I’ve had several lifetimes in this life,” he says. But light is this artist’s subject.”My grandmother told me that as you sat in Quaker silence you were to go inside to greet the light. That expression stuck with me,” he says. Since the 1970s his work continues on Roden Crater, an unprecedented large-scale artwork in Arizona, designed as a controlled environment for the experiencing and contemplation of light. { read more }
Be The Change
Just stop for a few minutes to look at how the light is in play around you. Give yourself permission to slow down enough to begin to see all the little examples of lights silent and changing presence. |
