Re: {PBJFlorida} A Reading Circle for the indignant--and the hopeful...

Jim,
Are you busy every Thursday or just this Thursday Nov 1?
I can move it to Nov 15. I can actually make it some Wednesdays. Let's see if we can get a few more people. We might be preaching to the choir as they say, but I like the choir!
Pace and blessings, Penny

I'm sorry. You came to mind over and over in the Hope book. We'll miss you.

Penny and all,
I've read his first book. It is awesome and very worth studying.  I am so sorry to miss the conversation. This is the only day of the week that I have a standing commitment.

We've talked about a discussion of the small book Time for Outrage by Stephane Hessel, and I want to invite those who are interested to my house on Thursday November 1 from 6:30-9:00. It's a reading circle not a dinner so we'll just have snacks and a little wine. 
 
In this little book Hessel tells us "There are unbearable things all around us. You have to look for them; search carefully....you will find your reasons to engage." A year later he wrote another book, equally small and red. Its name: The Path to Hope. Here he says "it is our intent to chart a political path to national salvation. It is our intent to declare a new hope."
 
Isn't it fascinating that in the space of a year he goes from despair to hope?  (Amazon has the "hope" book for $8.00.) I'd like to suggest we discuss them together. Please RSVP so we can plan. If you need directions to my house, let me know.
 
Peace and hope to all~~
Penny

p.s. I have two dogs in the house. If you have allergies or phobia, you will not be comfortable here.
