"We need to give each other the
space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. ~ Max de Pree
This principle seems clear and obvious, simple and true. But
how well do we live it? Practicing this requires reverence for ourselves and others. It requires patience and pausing to respond with care rather than reacting without thinking. It requires calling upon strength and faith in the truth of this principle when we fear differences we see in others. Actually it requires practice, practice, practice. Let's reach in for reverence, strength, compassion, and faith to do our best
today.
With love and beauty,
