“And now I think the things that matter are unfinished paintings that everyone creates and no one owns. Rather we are created each time we touch the breath of being, and we are connected to everyone who ever lived each time we add a stroke. And sometimes we are briefly aware that we are living parts of the most elemental community of all, the community of life force that moves through everything.”
—Mark Nepo: “The Unfinished Painting,” from Parabola, Volume 36, No 4., Winter 2011: “Many Paths, One Truth.”

About

Avatar A parabola is one of the most dynamic forms in nature. It is the curve of a bowl, the path of a ball soaring upward and down to earth again. The founder of this magazine decided it was a good name for a journal devoted to the search for meaning, which often goes outward, then back home again along a different path.

More than thirty-five years later, PARABOLA does what other magazines and media cannot. Four times a year, we explore one of the timeless themes of human existence, drawing on wisdom from the world’s traditions, ways, and art. At PARABOLA, we further understanding, peace, and tolerance one reader at a time. .
