Hiroshima was 79 years ago. Remembering my late co-editor Drew Christiansen SJ by posting the two books he conceived and led. Photo in the first comment, and some friends at the Pentagon this morning in the second comment.

This week I launched a listening project, giving people the opportunity to speak uninterrupted until they feel like stopping, and then asking them to share how it felt. The results were surprising! First, I was amazed how much more I like listening than doing a back-and-forth. It's restful. And the people found it cool and unusual. Some of them are more used to being listened to than others, it's a mixed bag, but I think we were all pretty happy with the results. Also, they reported feeling pressure to keep talking even though they knew they could stop. Interesting! I'm not a psychologist and I never plan to become one, but I do like to think about the dynamics of listening when it comes to publishing facilitation (my day job) and just normal friendships.

On the way to my long-time volunteer role at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, I always pass St. Mary's Hall. They recently renovated the front lawn for the new medical building, and there is new grass. So imagine my surprise to be present at year 1 of a fairy ring. Those things can live to be over 700 years old! Long may it flourish. Photo in first comment.

Our mascot dove

This dove appeared the moment the first faculty member arrived by taxi. City Wildlife told us this dove was probably a nesting female with fledglings nearby. She remained on our porch for three days before moving on, possibly protecting her babies from predators. It was charming to see her waddling around, seemingly content, patiently watching the world go by. None of us is the type to spend too much energy looking for/believing in signs, yet there she was, appearing out of nowhere and then taking off after a little sojourn.
