Perseverance

Margaret Wheatley's new book, Perseverance, shows every sign of offering her trademark wisdom and thought-provoking insight into how we can in fact invent ourselves and our world more intentionally.

You can sign up to receive eight segments of the book on her Website. I already did this. Every page contains a provocative quote and a brief essay exploring one theme. The first theme: "We've Been Here Before" encourages us to take a look at how we have persevered in our lives before. I found the quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estes particularly affecting - and true: "Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely."

Good ki!
