I'm optimistic because I know the monks are giving us a knowledge Renaissance. I would love it if we could work together somehow to make it happen? I just don't seem to have the social skills necessary!

Anne Therese, this is profound.

“Practices of optimism in uncertain times” aptly names your work. In uncertain times, people do not only need an analysis of what is wrong. They need practices that help them stay optimistic, steady, connected, courageous, joyful and useful.

That clarity about your work matters. You are helping people strengthen optimism as something lived each day, through attention, habits, conversation, nature, action and the company we keep.

That is very valuable work. Thank you.
