Profile

Molly Willcox, Talking Tree Convener and Host 

Molly is a graduate of Brandeis University.  After college she pursued a career in publishing.

 

She writes:  "Talking Tree was born of many forces in my life.  I learn and change through talking and through listening, and I need living Conversation in my life.  I always have and was blessed with submersion in words of substance while I grew up.

 

"My academic parents were passionately fond of probing the unknowable, be it spiritual, political or psychological.  Truth--whatever that might have seemed to consist of at the moment--was respected.  We thrived on grappling with the mysteries, the ambiguities and the ambivalences of our existence.  And I learned from them what a scaffold of connectivity and understanding words are.  Because of that legacy--and because of the Earth's crisis--I am committed to cultivating and supporting the spirit of inquiry and the communal bonds it inspires.  I am convinced that commitment to that spirit is an essential element in the healing of our planet.

 

"Please join me in reclaiming Conversation for our world."

 

"Still there are words that can calmly approach the unsayable"- Rilke
