Appreciating the RC Literature
My October PRESENT TIME came in the mail! Just the cover with Marcie Rendon’s quote on it and the lovely picture from South Korea touched me deeply. Flipping through the magazine, I can’t wait to savour our connections across the world and how we are doing whatever we can to find our way through the human and environmental crises.
This PRESENT TIME made me think of Harvey Jackins’s pamphlet The Good and the Great in Art.

Commuting to and from work is usually very stressful for me. But I find that if I have been reading PRESENT TIME, I have more perspective and am less “cranky.” Thank you for helping make my commute more bearable!

Below is an e-mail I sent today to Michael Harding. It is a reminder that the older RC literature is of much value:
“It is still nighttime here. I woke up for a few minutes, and instead of checking my e-mail or looking at Google news, I grabbed WORKING FOR A LIVING No. 7 and discovered your 1996 article, ‘A Photographer Organizes.’ I had never read it before. Your story about the forty-year rubber worker brought years to my eyes, as did the next paragraph thanking Harvey Jackins for his clarity on working people. Thank you.”

Thanks for another uplifting issue of PRESENT TIME [the October 2019 issue]. I was especially moved by the stories Teresa Enrico and AL Caballes told of their powerful and heartwarming trip to the Philippines, where they shared RC and themselves with so many people. Inspiring! Thanks for bringing us along.
