Meaningful Matters: Reflections on Joy, Loss and Our Changing World

Meaningful Matters: Reflections on Joy, Loss and Our Changing World is a selection of Jeff Kelly Lowenstein’s favorite blog posts from the more than 1,100 pieces he wrote between late 2008 and the end of 2015.

Started after a challenge from a colleague and friend and written during a highly
consequential period in American and world history, the work brings together Kelly
Lowenstein’s writings on sources of momentary delight, tributes to deceased loved
ones and analysis of the seismic changes gripping our planet. Containing poetry,
personal accounts, book reviews and open letters, Meaningful Matters tackles
history’s painful legacies and affirms life’s daily gifts. Ultimately, it is a meditation
on living with gratitude and joy in a profoundly imperfect world.
