CONNECTIONS ACROSS THE CHRONICLE

Choose a subject and follow it through an essay, a poem or a fictional life.

Identity & memory

The names we answer to, and what familiar voices carry.

Attention to the day while it is still happening.

Small acts of responsibility beside stories of much larger struggles.

Changing light, remembered events, and the places a story begins.

From everyday observations to more difficult questions, these are the latest pieces filed under Life & Reflection.

When You Have Done What You Can
When you have done what can be done tonight, tomorrow need not take the whole evening. On care, faith and allowing a day to end.
Let Yourself Be Welcomed
You need not make every invitation an audition. On receiving friendship, accepting hospitality and allowing yourself to be welcomed.
An Hour You Can Enjoy
Some hours can be enjoyed without being turned into assignments. On music, familiar books and the ordinary pleasure of being here.
Sit Here a Moment
Kindness need not wait for a crisis, a perfect explanation or an impressive story. A reflection on receiving a little unhurried attention.
The Quiet Interest
The subjects and activities you return to privately can be worth exploring before you have decided where they will lead.
Before You Let It In
A reflection on attention, being informed without being continuously interrupted, and letting your own thinking finish.
Room for Good
Hope can leave room for good possibilities without asking you to pretend that every difficulty was arranged for your benefit.
