Cultivating a Cultural Imagination

"... where my soul is floodlit by light which space cannot contain, where there is sound that time cannot seize, where there is a perfume which no breeze disperses, where there is a taste for food no amount of eating can lessen, and where there is a bond of union that no satiety can part.

All human beings long for transcendence. The yearning for something holy, something that we currently experience, can be the spark for much of our work. But what if our longing falters and our imagination fades? And how does our common longing for what's transcendent shape communities and industries? Author and cultural commentator, David Brooks, sheds new light on the reality of our common longings and the hope that it bears for our society.
