The Work of the World

“The work of the world is common as mud,” writes Marge Piercy in her poem, “To Be of Use.” What does that work look like, and what part do we play in it? Together we’ll look at stories of care in difficult times and consider how we might respond in ways big and small to the callings of the world in which we live.
