Who are we as individuals after these calamities? Who are we as a community when the boundaries of civility, safety, and certainty shatter?...We are all individual in our response to trauma, and we are all unique in our recovery process. In the middle, however, we meet within the confines of our community's well-defined culture. In this space we can create significant experiences that allow every type of individual to find ways to release the present pain while also beginning the process of connecting to a new future."

August 8, 2014 a project of ServiceSpace Nothing really worth having comes quickly and easily; If it did, I doubt that we would ever grow. - Eknath Easwaran - The Power of Patience Images flash at us from every direction--from our social media accounts to advertisements on the road, and we have little time to take in anything. So, it is rather radical that Harvard art history professor Jennifer Roberts asks her students to sit--not for half an hour, but for three hours with a work of art before writing anything about it. While some may think that this sounds excessive at first, the students realize that seeing is not the whole story of learning--it takes time to process what we see. When we give ourselves time, on any subject, not just art, a new world of detail and understanding opens up to our consciousness. And she feels that this kind of patience in education--learning how to slow down--is an essential part of a good education. { read more } Be The Change Experiment in slowing down the pace of your life today.

August 7, 2014 a project of ServiceSpace Be a ladder, not a leader. - Jayesh Patel - Jim Hunter on Servant Leadership Jim Hunter has been training servant leaders for over 30 years and is the author of two internationally best-selling books on the topic. Servant leadership brings love to leadership, and Hunter defines it as "the business of identifying and meeting people's legitimate needs, seeking their greatest good so they can grow." In this interview, Hunter discusses how to create real change through servant leadership. He also talks about how to bring true love, humility, and authenticity into an organization. True love, Jim says, is "a whole lot more than feeling. Feelings come and go based on whether I ate pizza last night." True love is "a willingness to extend yourself, committed, all-in, regardless of how I happen to feel this week." { read more } Be The Change The next time you have to make a decision that affects someone else, take into consideration the other person's legitimate needs.

Le Guin - How Life Has Transformed Our Planet One could easily be forgiven for thinking that life bears little connection to rocks. After all, what could be more different than a fragrant rose and a cold chunk of granite? Minerals are usually defined as naturally occurring inorganic substances that combine to form rocks. Yet minerals (two out of three, in fact) arise as a result of biological processes. { read more } Be The Change Be ready this week to discover that your previous theories about life may be off base and that what you thought was separate is connected, like us.
