Perception and reaction often hijack our lives. We opt for conflict avoidance, gloss over individual differences, and speak about others in generalizations to create stability and a “pseudo-community.” But author Jane Tomaine points out that life itself often happens in those interruptions when we focus our attention on the moment, the person before us, and our perception of what we are being asked to do. With conviction of its timeliness and power, the Rev. Dr. Jane Tomaine unfolds a “Little Rule” established nearly 1500 years ago when Europe was characterized by danger, mass injustice, dislocation of population and the apparent collapse of almost all high culture. With clear insights and and humor she inspires and informs us how to begin our lives again.
