Thank you for thoughtfully distilling language with such purpose, clarity, and simplicity. Every time I read PRESENT TIME, it helps me think about the ways I try to communicate ideas. “How would I see this idea presented in PRESENT TIME?” 


I often work with people who speak English as a second language. I am also trying to communicate in a language that is not my mother tongue. Just asking myself that question is a useful bit of mental hygiene, as it prompts me to deliberately remove as much distress content as possible from the words that I use.


I was delighted to read the first article in the January PRESENT TIME, “Challenging Isolation,” from a talk by Tim Jackins at the Teachers’ and Leaders’ Workshop for Fryslân and the Netherlands. Discharging the early hurts that have led to isolation prompts me to go for the human connection before trying to communicate important ideas.

Thanks for “keeping the presses rolling” in the midst of the pandemic. The articles and information PRESENT TIME provides for us all are timely and lifesaving!

I’m loving the April PRESENT TIME, especially all the writing about RC from outside of the United States.

I think the April 2020 issue is the best one ever! Such an amazing balance of important articles—long and short, inspiring and informative. I love how Harvey Jackins is kept alive in each issue—it is a great example of how older writings are so currently relevant.

I just listened to Tim Jackins in RC Teacher Update 62, “Boldly Working Together in New Ways,” on my computer—without waiting for the mail to arrive, opening an envelope, or inserting a CD!


How wonderful to be able to access this important update so quickly and easily on the RC website. (And you can also find there a slow-speed version, for people whose first language is not English, and a written transcript!)


Many thanks to the technical crew who I am sure worked hard to make this possible.
