Some of the change is staggeringly obvious, like the skyscraping luxury condominiums with stirring views of other skyscraping luxury condominiums. But I couldn't quite make out what had and hadn't changed in historically poor communities. I generally find issues of poverty, opportunity, and global development to be over-theorized and under-reported. And it seemed to me that in India, as in the U.S., some of the experts most ready to describe how lower-income people are faring weren't spending much time with those people." Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo spent two years in a Mumbai slum seeking to understand the gritty realities and moral complexity of the urban poor. In this interview she describes the experience and what it revealed for her. { read more } Be The Change Seek to understand more about someone who lives in a context dramatically different from your own.

Rediscovering the Lost Art of Blessing

June 25, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace May I live this day compassionate of heart, clear in word, gracious in awareness, courageous in thought, generous in love. - John O'Donohue - Rediscovering the Lost Art of Blessing "In his writing the mystic poet John O'Donohue encourages all of us to rediscover our power to bless one another. I've become enchanted with this invitation, regardless of whether we define a blessing as being a wish or a prayer, whether we conceive it as coming from us or through us or whether we offer blessings through what we say, write, or think. In any of these forms, the act of blessing another contains several irresistible qualities." This thoughtful piece explores the often forgotten power that is folded into our capacity to wish each other well. { read more } Be The Change Make a conscious effort to share your blessings today -- with some who are known and others who are unknown.
