Thought for the Day


. . . we don't have to understand everything about each other
in order to be present with one another. I think that we have 
mistaken empathy as walking in someone else's shoes. Let
us be clear, you can't. But what we can do
 is witness, and accompany.

I'm doing my annual Christmas week cleaning up of my blog links and happy to see yours is still active. So many have fallen by the wayside over the years. But we're still here! Happy Holidays, Maureen!
