Our great mistake is act and feel alone when we go through tough times. Stop, be still and take a look again. You are not alone. You are never alone. Everything is waiting for you!

A brief history of socialism

Somewhat unexpectedly, Sylvia Boorstein offered to lead a lovingkindness (metta) meditation in front of a crowd of 350 during her interview with Krista Tippett on February 15, 2011 on stage at The Community House in Birmingham, Michigan. What resulted was a magical experience in which the audience fully participated in this impromptu moment of reflection. This meditation is included in our show "What We Nurture."

Lovingkindness (Metta) Meditation with Sylvia Boorstein

She has called Brain Pickings, her invention and labor of love, a “human-powered discovery engine for interestingness.” What Maria Popova really delivers, to hundreds of thousands of people each day, is wisdom of the old-fashioned sort, presented in new-fashioned digital ways. She cross-pollinates — between philosophy and design, physics and poetry, the intellectual and the experiential. We explore her gleanings on what it means to lead a good life — intellectually, creatively, and spiritually.

Maria Popova is the creator and presence behind BrainPickings.org, which is included in the Library of Congress’s permanent digital archive of culturally valuable materials. She is the author of “Figuring” and hosts “The Universe in Verse” — an annual celebration of science through poetry — at the interdisciplinary cultural institute Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
