« CRITICAL NOTES ON THE HASTINGS CENTER REPORT BY Ramond J. Lawrence | Main | ORLANDO AND THE SCC : A Letter to the Community From Raymond Lawrence »
Kate DiCamillor's first sentence in her book, The Tale of Desperaux, begins with these words:
The world is dark, and light is precious.
Come closer...you must trust me.I am telling you a story.
During this season I'm always on the hunt for a story which gives deep expression to humanity and human compassion- a story that might help us take heart and courage to live with generosity of life and spirit. I think I found such in Dick Gordon's The Story, an NPR production.
The show notes reads as follows:
Peter Turnley's work as a photojournalist for over 25 years has brought him to some of the most traumatized parts of the world. He's seen the excesses of war as well as the devastation following natural disasters. Yet he continues his work because extreme circumstances have also shown him what's best about humanity. He tells Dick Gordon about his 1988 trip to an earthquake zone in Armenia, and how a victim's kindness became a touchstone moment for him.
To listen to Peter Turnley's story, go to: The Story and click on Listen found in the top left sidebar and/or click here.
Please note, however, that Finding Humanity starts just a little over half way on the time bar (there are two interviews contained in the one link) so you will need to slide the time bar to locate the interview.
