Notes from the Hatch: On Reading as Springboard

Sunday, September 17, 2023

Russell Square, London / April 29, 2023

Hey y’all! It’s Carmen here.

This month’s meeting of the Hatch was as glorious as the tulips in springtime in London’s Russell Square. Over 300 of us gathered, and we reflected on a passage from Virginia Woolf’s diary, where she writes about walking on that very patch of earth, meditating on life’s biggest questions—like who am I? and what is life? and how can I find my footing on this strange and gorgeous earth?

If you missed our meeting, or just want to revisit what we talked about, you’ll find the reading, some thoughts from me, and a few prompts to choose from. May it be a jumping-off point, and may you land somewhere good, soft, and true.

Much love,
Carmen
