Really LOVE this piece and appreciate the universality of the conditions we marinate in, which defines what good looks like and what is possible.
I felt this reflected in what happens when you are always the interviewee but then the power shifts and you get to interview.
Was just listening to a podcast between Fr. Greg Boyle and Kate Bowler...and similarly, it made me think about success and measurement or encourage me not to think about it, in a culture that incessantly reminds us that we should be thinking about it. Some outtakes that connect to this piece and wish we all had and could live into this wisdom:
"We are here to see goodness vs. potential in others. That's all you need to see and reflect...good enough vs. perfection.
God is asking us, what is all the measuring about?
To see others and leap into a concern for someone else is to be ego-less. Cherishing is not hard, but remembering to cherish is hard.

There is nothing missing in this present moment."

Love this. Thanks for sharing! Greg Boyle is a real hero of mine.
Nicely done. However, I’m wondering if this well-intentioned project might lead to yet smoother group ethnically set further apart.
We are one. People is our category. Each of us is an individual who shares many similarities.
Hi Linda, of course this is true on a fundamental level, but attending to our bias and interrogating is the only way to actually *live* this reality.
