And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour.

The writers behind this newsletter.

  • Jean & Pat - In the Commons

    In the Stories of the Commons we hope to lift up stories of the commons by ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things. Read, Listen in, Share!

  • Pat Mulroy

    I find courage in the beautiful life I am living. I find courage in my family, my friends, the work of my heart. I love reading, exploring, being outside. I find beauty in the little things and getting quiet enough to experience them.

  • I believe in a world where everyone is free & equal. A human rights activist within the LGBTQ+ community, I am a person of faith who lives into hope. I am at home in nature, hiking mountains and being at the sea. Peace.

  • Christine

    I write about the beautiful, messy work of being human. Expect stories of family, caregiving, blindness, poetry, leadership, laughter, and the everyday moments that remind us we’re not meant to navigate life alone.
