Seeing and beyond

Part of our call — as humans — is to witness. To see others.

But it goes beyond seeing, lest it remain observation or entertainment.

No. Beyond seeing it is seeking to connect. To understand. To value.

We are called to share laughter. To share tears. To celebrate and to mourn.

Words often help us to embrace our connections, but where words fail ... presence does not.

Simply holding space together — gathering — can connect us in joy and in sorrow ... even when the script falls short.
