This journal was born from a simple yet profound belief: the common good is all around us. It is found in the stories we tell, the art we create, the images we capture, and the moments of grace that shape our lives. In a world often consumed by noise and division, goodness seeks to highlight something different-expressions of beauty, truth, and shared humanity.

Twice a year, we will bring you voices from around the world-writers, artists, poets, and photographers-each offering their unique perspective on what it means to seek and create good in their everyday lives.

Within these pages, you will find essays that challenge, opinions that provoke, stories that move, and art that lingers long after the page is turned.

This first Spring 2025 issue marks the beginning of a journey, and we are grateful to have you with us. May you find inspiration here, may you discover something unexpected, and may the good you give and receive serve as a reminder that even in uncertain times, light continues to break through.
