Neelofer Nova on her poetry, identity, and work
About the speaker
This month’s theme is spirituality where we ask:
- How might we find meaning in the mundane?
- How should a person be?
Spirituality is the search for our deepest values and meanings, something that touches us all. It is our yearning to peel back the curtain on the world we can see. The word comes from the Latin spiritualis, meaning “of breath, wind, and air.”
And we shape breath and air through our words and our language. Spoken word, uttered out loud, is how we locate the sacred.
