What happens when we return โ€” to a place, to an idea, to a tradition? Our second issue arrives into a world that still feels unsettled, precarious, and in need of repair, though not entirely without hope. We find ourselves wondering which way to go and how to make effective and lasting change. As we look for new directions, we may find ourselves revisiting the past and asking where things went wrong. At the same time, we might also consider what has worked before and what lessons we can carry forward into the future.
