Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture.

If your only concept of human trafficking is from thriller movies or TV reports, then today's story from Laurie-Beth Robbins just might reach right down into your bones and inspire you to be part of the solution. For those who may be triggered by this story, we hope you will feel ready to return to it another time. But, of course, through the exchange of story, the glaciers of separation thaw, revealing bridges that connect our islands of loneliness.
