[The Stage is on Fire] is a page-turner in which, much like life, there are no easy answers and yet each step of the journey yields insight and hope. This work of heart must not be missed!

Katie Steedly’s first-person piece [The Unspeakable Gift] is a riveting retelling of her participation in a National Institutes of Health study that aided her quest to come to grips with her life of living with a rare genetic disorder. Her writing is superb.

I thank you … It is the authenticity of your “class notes”; and it is the delicacy and skill with which you present the nuances of classroom life and the actuality of your students’ and fellow teachers’ lives.

So, I am part of this thing where fish learned to walk.
Tawanda Mulalu
I have been thinking about Kronos time since listening to the On Being program, Taking the long view of time and becoming “critical yeast.” Kronos time is described on the podcast as, “a moment that disrupts everything that came before, everything you thought you knew.” The phone call. The birth or death. The global event. The individual milestone. The evolutionary moment. The geologic shift. This all supposes there was an actual moment where fish learned to walk.
Looking at the world — both individually and collectively — as a series of Kronos moments is filled with possibility. We let go. We invite. We embrace. We build. We create. We see. We change. We adapt. We understand. We ground.
