That prescription is easier to write than to fill, but it is the order of our day—the real über-task of our generation. It is so much easier to venture far—not just in distance but also in terms of your willingness to experiment, take risks, and reach out to the other—when you know that you’re still tethered to a place called home, and to a real community. Minnesota and St. Louis Park together were that place for me. They were my anchor and my sail. I hope this book will inspire you to pause in stride and find yours.
