Let the Beauty We Love Be What We Do: Stories of Living Divided No More

Let the Beauty We Love Be What We Do: Stories of Living Divided No More

Sally Z. Hare
4.5/5 ( ratings)
An extraordinary glimpse inside the human journey to live with integrity, with wholeness by 21 diverse people who share their stories with stunning honesty and openness... In his contribution to the book, Parker J. Palmer writes: From the moment I began writing fifty years ago, I've known that my ideas wouldn't matter much if they simply sat there, inert, on the printed page. So I am deeply grateful for people who "put wheels" on those ideas-people who find ways to take their inner work into the outer world and show up on the job and in other parts of their lives with their identity and integrity movement to fulfill the human possibility, a movement that's forever calling us to embody what it means to be truly human intact. The contributors to this book have done exactly that. Here they share their stories of what it means to decide to "rejoin soul and role" and live "divided no more..." All of these people are participants in what I have called the "movement model of social change." The movements from which I drew this model sometimes have big names-the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement, the Velvet Revolution. But at bottom, the movement I have in mind has been unfolding in ways small and large since our species first achieved consciousness. It is the ancient movement to fulfill the human possibility, a movement that's forever calling us to embody what it means to be truly human.
