Morning! How we feeling? It’s just about 9am in NYC and the light drizzling rain is clearing the way for the inevitable beat of pride marches and overflowing cocktails.
This week I consumed a lot about community, about finding place with others. I’ve also been reading a collection of short stories by Tobias Wolff that sheds light on so many different pockets of community. And all this during pride month! It feels like a theme that is bashing me over the head. You’re turn! Enjoy the recs :)
1/ This piece on the disintegration of the physical places of organized religion was interesting. It goes into the the real impact of waining religiosity in America.
But I will extol the virtues of meaning-making spaces that bring together people who share a general philosophy — religion, in this case — and who live near to each other, but who may otherwise be living very differently.
