We closed yesterday’s daylong practice of discernment and self-inquiry by reflecting on how we aspire to show up and carry what we have learned about cultivating radical bodhicitta — what I call the heart and mind of justice, liberation, and healing — into our ever-widening circles of compassionate social action. After everyone departed, I returned to…

words to live by | omid safi
“Let us mourn the ending of one world together, even as we anticipate the arrival of other, more joyous worlds to come. Let us not suffer in the shadow, alone. Let our grief be as public and shared, loved and supported, as we insist our joys be. There is healing and redemption in that togetherness.”…
Elder Wisdom: Ruby Sales | On Being with Krista Tippett
Terence Crutcher. Another innocent, unarmed black man was assasinated. Unarmed. In need of help. In the middle of the highway. Gunned down. On film. Demonized for simply existing.

HEAR HERE [for deep listening]: The Biology of the Spirit |Sherwin Nuland + On Being With Krista Tippett
SN: Well, you just got the word. I’ve been sitting here on the edge of my seat, hoping, ‘When am I going to get to say this word, wonder?’ Wonder is something I share with people of deep faith. They wonder at the universe that God has created, and I wonder at the universe that nature…
HEAR HERE [for deep listening]: Ann Hamilton + On Being With Krista Tippett
AH: A friend of mine who’s a wonderful poet, Susan Stewart, said that hearing is how we touch at a distance. Isn’t that beautiful? …But I think that’s also how, like, how I start projects is, in some ways, just to try to listen. And what is the form of that listening for what something…
