Finding hope amid despair

Finding a path through despair, to hope... a great writer's gift to accomplish that journey:

From the article by Maria Popova:  "We lose hope, Solnit suggests, because we lose perspective — we lose sight of the “accretion of incremental, imperceptible changes” which constitute progress and which render our era dramatically different from the past, a contrast obscured by the undramatic nature of gradual transformation punctuated by occasional tumult."

please read this! ("This Changes Everything")

Haven't read this book, yet? (Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything").  Wow -- this gets into the heart of things. Don't want to buy a copy? - Maybe because the  subject is too depressing? (She actually talks about all of that.) Well, then, I suggest just reading the text on pages 3,4, and 5 -- maybe while looking at a copy in a bookstore - or the library. If you read what she wrote there, and it doesn't "speak to you"...well, I'll be surprised. Highly recommended!
