It's great to have permission from Hillman to simply speak up for something, without having to have the solution ready-wrapped.

So very often our gut knows something is wrong, but we hesitate speaking up if we can't provide a quick fix.Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-12681596614085593382012-06-26T15:20:22.375-05:002012-06-26T15:20:22.375-05:00I read this, today, from Roxane Gay: http://therum...I read this, today, from Roxane Gay: http://therumpus.net/2012/06/where-things-stand/<br /><br />I love how she says that she is not riled up, and she's not sure what to do about the information she has gathered (about the enormous and complex issue of HUGE lack of racial diversity in big gun publications). She's calmly pointing out a truth. Rhetorically, she is inviting her reader to be on the same team as her....many articles like this make the mistake of sounding accusatory toward the reader.<br /><br />I love Hillman, too.....hope you week is going well.Hannah Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792203070774504501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-7698188213471672662012-06-26T13:08:56.247-05:002012-06-26T13:08:56.247-05:00Exactly, you two!Exactly, you two!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-21173255429075915142012-06-26T12:26:45.748-05:002012-06-26T12:26:45.748-05:00It's so interesting to think about this in ter...It's so interesting to think about this in terms of the Occupy movement, which at its height was always being criticized for just such empty protest.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-76558313254948230352012-06-26T12:00:38.514-05:002012-06-26T12:00:38.514-05:00I think Hillman personifies that Rilke quote. &quo...I think Hillman personifies that Rilke quote.
