Many blessings to everyone and especially to anyone observing the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women and/or Eastertide, Counting the Omer, and/or working as a force of peace, freedom, and fulfillment (inside and outside).
“If you are curious, you’ll find the puzzles around you. If you are determined, you will solve them.”
— Ernö Rubik
In addition to being the day, in 1974, when Ernö Rubik invented the Rubik’s Cube, today is the anniversary of the birth of Johns Hopkins (b. 1795), Malcolm X (b. 1925), and Lorraine Hansberry (b. 1930). The following excerpt is from a 2021 post related to how the things that make people different are also the things we have in common:
“All three of the people profiled above shared a problem, a problem we also share: How do we create a society that lives up to its legendary origin story? We each have our experiences — which result in certain perspectives — and we each have certain gifts, which we can share with the world. To share our gifts, however, we sometimes have to understand what shapes our perspectives — and what shapes the perspectives of the people around us. To understand what shapes us, we have to go deeper into the core and how we’re all connected.”
