Bill Britt explores “timshel,” the Hebrew word John Steinbeck interpreted as “thou mayest” in East of Eden. From the story of Cain and Abel to the choices we make in public life, Britt reflects on our responsibility to reject dishonesty, confront hatred and repair the harm we cause. We cannot choose the history we inherit, but we can choose what we pass on.
