This weekend’s quest(ion) comes from the end of yesterday’s post. First, remembering Rilke from Monday, the task is to get small, to connect with “the things we belong to” — each stone, blossom, child. Then, inspired by Rachel Carson, sit with an issue — in your family, community, city, country — that has been weighing on your heart. And then, either in meditation or in a journal:

From that quiet, clear place of connection we can ask: How do I respond? What is one response that’s within my power?

As always, I would love to hear comments or responses to this weekly practice.
