Being and nothingness
washingtonpost.com’s “On Being” project is simply stunning: real stories from real people based on the simple notion that “we should get to know one another a little better.” An elegant design and interface, enhanced by professional video production standards, bring to life the musings and passions of ordinary extraordinary people. This is how journalism from MSM should look on the web: visual, interactive, compelling, real. The big problem: You can’t find “On Being” on The Post’s dense home page. Which raises the existential question of whether it really exists.

Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful and moving site. I plan to speak about it at an upcoming conference called Interdependence Day.
Identity is relational - we need to connect, or we hardly know who we are. We don’t just need to connect, we ARE connected, profoundly and inextricably, and seeming disconnections can tear us apart.
It is for this reason that my life-partner and I launched OneWorld.net 12 years ago, and OneClimate.net last week! We are all in this together. We live and die connected.
