In the context of relationship is the place where change may happen. A place with more vulnerability, compassion and honesty. A place where we are on this circular table with only one side. A place where you acknowledge the limits of your human perception of others and self. Cultivating this space doesn't solve all conflicts, but it provides soil for the impossible to germinate.
I am both trying too hard and not hard enough to change the world. I spend a lot of mental energy on all that is terribly wrong with the world and not enough on thinking about (and acting on) what is in my power to do.
Also, I just took a big pile of shoes, mostly dressy heels, to Goodwill that I finally realized I will never wear again. It felt good, but also kind of sad, like saying goodbye to whoever that person was.

Agree! It’s precious and rare!

Sigh. It’s hard to sort out what we can actually do these days. I hear you.
Some people. Congregational goals. Sometimes you see transformation, so you’re rewarded and therefore continue.
Oh, & I can see you atop those pretty little shoes. 🥿🥰
Right you are — about churches!
Myself, with little success.
Yes, same here! I’m hopeful for myself, though…
The church.

Yes, the church! And that’s a bittersweet goodbye to the woman who was so well dressed in those heels. And maybe even pantyhose!
