The 33 Project
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.
