YOM KIPPUR STUDY

Yom Kippur Study

Finding Ordinary Happiness in Simple Pleasures:
Reading, Writing and Listening

Saturday, September 18, 12:30 - 2 p.m., Linz Hall
Dr. Willard Spiegelman, Duwain E. Hughes Jr.
Distinguished Professor of English, Southern Methodist University.

On this day of atonement and reflection, Willard Spiegelman will talk about some ideas from his recent book, “Seven Pleasures: Essays on Ordinary Happiness.” He will focus on the ways in which attentiveness helps to center the body, the mind, and the spirit. His pleasures are also, importantly, activities that foster, and come out of, what Wordsworth called “the bliss of solitude.” In an age of mass culture, group activity, and too much noise, peace and quiet are in short supply.
