Meditations in an Emergency

Meditations in an Emergency

«Nobody wants an emergency, but perhaps we should want some of the remarkable things that can happen during them.» Whenever hope is running short, it’s a good idea to read Rebecca Solnit. The American writer and activist has started «Meditations in an Emergency», a new publication to meet the moment (on the same platform that this newsletter is hosted – hello fellow Ghost writer!). Her launch essay is a reminder of what’s possible, and a call to action. «No one knows what happens next. But I do know what happens next can and must be in part what we do next, in a thousand ways.»
