November 2013: Books and Writing

November 2013: Books & WritingThe metaphor that comes to mind as I contemplate the wonderful and constantly replenished body of Quaker writing is a particularly seasonal one. Let us think of our volume of writing as a cornucopia, a horn of plenty—overflowing with colorful vegetables, ripe fruits, hearty grains, and the rest of the earth’s bounty… We treat the guests in our dining room as we would family, communing in grateful appreciation of the blessings which we have been fortunate to receive, and which we hope to share with others.
