- Enjoy reading and listening to “The Hypnotizing Chants of Champion Livestock Auctioneers.” Amanda Petrusich, writing for The New Yorker, gives us a glimpse into the traditions and lore of the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship. Petrusich explains that an auctioneer’s chant “needs to convey both the current auction price and the bid required to unseat the leader, but what happens in between—the filler words peppered into an auctioneer’s flow, delivered with alarming velocity—is what distinguishes a functional auctioneer from a master.”
- Thought-provoking:
“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you. Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.”
—Parker J. Palmer
from Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation - In recognition of Labor Day, the U.S. holiday celebrated the first Monday of September, enjoy “Clean Streets.” In this animated short film by National Public Radio’s Story Corps program, two sanitation workers share their stories and connections from working together for more than 10 years in Manhattan’s West Village in New York.
