Dear Readers: PROXIMITY is on vacation (& going through some life changes). Please stay tuned -- we will be back!

State of the Heart [charity]

“A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog.” – Jack London

Lerato: The Journey Itself [home]

From concrete and public transportation to bushveld soil and Land Rovers. Finding myself, my heart, and my home inside a small Lowveld village, the wide-open bush, and the soul of a trails guide.

The Evolution of Place [home]

When I moved to Atlanta, I never expected to stay. This city was just a place, a tangle of Peachtree Streets, glossy cars in narrow lanes, scary neighborhoods south of town, a hyper bar scene, high-end shopping and Southern food.

About Us

Three writers, two countries, one hour. Each week, we choose a different place that exists in each of our three locations: a bus stop, for example, or an emergency room, or a family dinner table.

Over the course of one hour, we find a story. Then we share it with you.

Over the course of one year, these stories will form a collective whole, illuminating the surprising ways in which our worlds are uniquely different and remarkably the same.

Join the conversation!

We want your stories! Add your voice, the world as you see it. Submit your scene here.
