November is a month of reckoning.  At the beginning we honor our dead.  At the end we count our blessings.  These events invite us to consider the idea of legacy.  What do we leave behind, intended or not?  Sometimes these are tangible things that people can attribute directly to us.  Sometimes it is a more nebulous quality that we may never see come to fruition.  In.Sight’s readings for this month provide a channel to examine what we leave in our wake in the world.  Join us to discuss Carrie Newcomer’s essay “The Nature of Giving, Receiving and Lilac Bushes” and Kenneth Brockmeier’s short story “A Fable Ending in the Sound of a Thousand Parakeets.”
