Shirley Jackson reading “The Lottery”

Liked this, listened to it, and now I have forwarded it to: a mother struggling with a dad in a group activity, and my @charmeeley who was turning me on to some interesting reads and watches from WWII Polish history. Gosh, this story really sums up a tension I hold inside me around community. The ways that it nourishes us and can constrict us. The ways that it is dangerous and also essential. I can go on. But, I say:listen.think. And hear that round rich voice. And ask yourself what it means. Not to decide for certain. But to turn it over in your hand like an acorn.
