Voice of the day

Radical empathy, on the other hand, means putting in the work to educate oneself and to listen with a humble heart to understand another’s experience from their perspective, not as we imagine we would feel.

Isabel Wilkerson, ‘Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents’ (2020)

Prayer of the day

Teach us to listen for shared feelings, for places of connection. Teach us to be curious and open to hearing differences. Teach us to love into brokenness to give space for, to be patient with, healing.
Tanya Cothran
