To Our Readers

The Author Of this week's Cover Story begins with a personal reminiscence of facing the political turmoil and cold war fears of the 1960s. She also recounts some words of comfort from a fellow "traveler" in a van along that same "highway"—wanting to make a scary world better somehow, not knowing how you could actually do it, trying to carve out a space where life could be more simple.

Remember some of the songs from that era? Pete Seeger hammering out justice ... all over the land. Bob Dylan telling us that the answer, friends, is blowing in the wind. Buffalo Springfield, with a thousand people in the street, singing that something was happening, but whatever it was, it "ain't exactly clear."

This week's Cover Story, though, does make it clear. In "It's not the end of the world," Zoë Landale writes of answers found, not blowing in the wind but in knowing the very real and transforming love of God, yielding to it, sharing it. She writes of trying to follow Jesus' example and of the prayer that sees our fellow men and women "made new in the radiance of God's creation, whole and perfect."
