They defer only to the words... Read more

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 3:18 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Susan Naomi Bernstein is a writer and educator living in Queens, NY. Her blog is called: “Beyond the Basics” (for Bedford Bits) Today my spouse of nearly thirty years asked me: “Do you have everything you need?” My spouse was asking about lunch— and yet—the existential sweetness of that inquiry fills me with inspiration. In times that seem to offer little but scarcity and austerity, I wonder often what constitutes abundance. What do people in our world need to survive... Read more

All day she had been sitting in front of her computer crying. “It actually physically hurt”, she said.
