One Hat, One Heart

I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.

- Pablo Casals -

The Beauty of Questions

Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

- Rainer Maria Rilke -

The Beauty of Questions

"I don't think we always give questions the time and attention they deserve, often mistaking them as being mere stepping stones to an answer (...) When used properly, questions have the potential to connect us to the world of another. A heartfelt "How are you?" or "How was your day?" can become the bridge that keeps us in relationship to the lives of those we love. Sometimes, too, questions create a bridge within ourselves, allowing us to hear what's going on at a deeper level. We know when we've encountered a question that has this potential because it stays with us -- maybe for the day, maybe for our whole lives. It taps us on the shoulder to wake us up, or it wiggles its way in more deeply, opening us up to seeing things in a new way." The following article dives deep into the beauty of questions. { read more }

"As your questions become broader and deeper than before, so does your experience of life. There is no telling where a powerful question might lead you." A short reflection on "Questioning our Questions:" { more }

Detroit's Good Food Cure

Those who wish to sing, always find a song.

- Swedish proverb -

Detroit's Good Food Cure

"What happens when the Motor City transforms itself into the capital of grow-your-own food? There are more than 1,200 community gardens in Detroit--more per square mile and more per capita than in any other American city. The number of community gardens is just a fraction of the number of kitchen gardens that families grow in yards and side lots. Locals are learning more about nutrition and feeling the health effects of eating the food they grow. 'I started the gardening work,' says Dinah Brundidge. 'It was like a healing process with me, a connection with the earth. The gardening motive gave me a purpose in life.'" { read more }

Be The Change

Transform a seemingly barren area in your life into a flourishing garden of hope and healing.

Barbara Kingsolver On How to Be Hopeful

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

- C.S. Lewis -

Barbara Kingsolver On How to Be Hopeful

"The arc of history is longer than human vision. It bends. We abolished slavery, we granted universal suffrage. We have done hard things before. And every time it took a terrible fight between people who could not imagine changing the rules, and those who said, "We already did. We have made the world new." The hardest part will be to convince yourself of the possibilities, and hang on. If you run out of hope at the end of the day, to rise in the morning and put it on again with your shoes. Hope is the only reason you won't give in, burn what's left of the ship and go down with it." In 2008, Barbara Kingsolver delivered a riveting commencement address to the graduates at Duke University. Here are her words of hope, infused with humour and a call to action. { read more }

Be The Change

Barbara Kingsolver opens her commencement address with, "The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. The most you can do is live inside that hope, running down its hallways, touching the walls on both sides." Today, touch the walls of hope on both sides.
