Clank, bump, crash, bang, clash. Like an alarm, these sounds wake me up every day at 6 a.m.Plaster, debris, rubbish, trash, fragments come tumbling down the chute attached to the fourth floor of the building undergoing reconstruction. This building is next to my house and the deconstruction site is directly across from my bedroom window. Whatever the workers have excavated the day before comes flying down the four stories into very large trailer bins.

It would be easy to see religious life in the United States as something from another time, as a vocation whose time has come and gone. But a group of 10 millennial and Generation X sisters have a few things to say about that.

The United States presents a paradox: Though the media and public opinion suggest it is a nation deeply divided along partisan lines, surveys reveal that Americans share significant common ground on many core values and political issues. As a political philosopher, I am deeply concerned about the perceived contrast between the public's shared political concerns and the high level of polarization that is dividing the electorate.

Aug 31, 2024Scripture for Life: Finding and following our deepest desires will free us to follow the Lord, who was called insane and a lawbreaker — but was never accused of failing to love. Aug 29, 2024The 2024 elections will be an intervention into our current divisive way of seeing. It intervenes, and whether it is successful in removing what has been blocking the clarity of our vision is still unknown.

When one engages in contemplation, one begins to "see" things anew. I have experienced this reality in different ways throughout the years, but recently I have physically experienced it quite dramatically. I had cataract surgery. As I came out of recovery, I was startled by the vividness and the clarity with which I could see things through what I have considered my weak eye during my life. I was amazed and truly couldn't stop thinking about it.

The headline "" caught my attention. According to an investigative report by The New York Times, Elon Musk's space operations near Brownsville, Texas, which he promised would have a small, eco-friendly footprint, has dramatically changed the fragile landscape, threatening the habitat that the U.S. government is charged with protecting. Progress in space vs. the health of a fragile habitat. Two competing values causing division that were unknown choices decades ago.

As I reflect on that, I get a sickening feeling and a sinking one. How will any of us enter this election cycle with equanimity, which Merriam-Webster defines as evenness of mind or balance under stress? Then I was in a conversation with someone who said we just have to be kind. Be kind to each other.
