Meeting the Enemy: If we are to hold space for the realities of other races, ethnicities and cultures WHILE being able to step back enough to self-reflect on our own responsibilities and contributions in the systems in place, we need some tools that offer more sanity and dialogue than Facebook rants and the like. I shared a short overview yesterday of some of the practices that have been most useful to me in times of difficulty (in my admittedly limited but real experience). I offer them as tools for self-reflection, self-care, and as a real way of shifting our incorrect perceptions of being separate from others' suffering as well as our tendency to become stranded in our own pain. These tools are not attempting to solve racial injustice or white privilege directly. What they are offering is a practice anyone could use to work with the universality of pain and the humanity of our suffering. I sincerely hope they provide some benefit to others. I will write in more detail on individual practices as I am able.

I live so far away from the US now, and so often feel incredibly removed from the polarization there... but my heart is always with my brothers and sisters who cherish each and every diverse being on this beautiful earth. May we all continue to lead humanity into its potential brilliance amid the obstacles of hatred. Thank you @oliverjeffers ----- for this moment of needed optimism and reflection.

    RT @matthewjdowd: Not a single member of Trump's Evangelical Council has resigned. We have learned corporate America has a greater moral compass. So so sad.
