In Nebraska There's the Wind

In Nebraska There's the Wind

and there're the things

that're blown by the wind and

there's the white-flecked gray

of a jack rabbit's back and

the looming shadow a groundhog makes

and the lulling sway of dandelion stalks

blooming bright yellow and the

bleached bones of a coyote's skull

and the waving lines of geese

bound for Havana with no

particular political portfolio

to speak of. And there's harmony,

too. And the sand.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
