A Tale of Two Americas and the Mini-Mart Where They Collided
|
| Ten days after the horrific events of 9/11/2001, a shooting at a Texas mini-mart shattered the lives of two men: the victim, Raisuddin, and the attacker, Mark, who was a self proclaimed avenger of the 9/11 attacks. In this profoundly moving and thought provoking talk, Anand Giridharadas, author of "The True American," tells the story of what followed. In the telling of this story of forgiveness and redemption we are confronted with the fracturing of America, the republic of dreams (for people who face great obstacles to make a new life in the U.S.) and the republic of fears (for people who are born into the wilting America of poverty, lack of opportunities, and absence of hope). The moral challenge of our times is how to reacquaint and unite these two Americas. |

Wild Imagination
“Anguish over the diminishment of our world, the destruction of Earths life support systems, and the extinction of species is deep in our shared human psyche, though largely unexpressed. So many of us can only dimly imagine our way through the psychic and physical debris to a regenerated, thriving, Earth community. Yet the mysterious human imagination itself may be our best resource for experiential recovery of a vibrant, participatory, and wildly sacred Earth.” Geneen Marie Haugen shares more. { read more }
