Life keeps showing me that it’s hard for many people to hold more than one perspective, to feel care for all needs across lines of separation.

A few recent examples…
– A taxi driver who couldn’t see beyond the assumption that being pro Palestine means hating Jewish people.
– Showing care for trans people and the assumption that then there isn’t care for women’s safety.
– Reactions to talking about care for more than one side and the assumption that it is making them equivalent.

How can we bring more light to this shift? How do we bring more fully into our culture the possibility of caring for many needs, of going beyond being on one side only without thinking the differences don’t matter?

I guess we keep modelling it, keep writing, making art, having conversations, praying, whatever it is we can do.

And I look for it in me too. When it’s part of the culture we swim in, it will have made its way in to my own patterns and beliefs.

Without that capacity developing in more of us, I can’t see us finding a way to a world that works for all, where all of us can be safe, free, and living our full wild life. It feels like it really matters, especially now.
