I see you. I am here. This morning I sipped my coffee and attempted to read the newspaper. I say attempted because I can’t seem to get through it. I have to stop often reading mid- sentence because I get so irritated and feel so hopeless about all the challenges facing our country and world.
I am reminded of my journey in becoming an elder in this world. My mentor taught that an important part of being an elder is to let people know that they are indeed seen, that their journey is being witnessed by someone. I make it a practice to say to folks at key moments: "I see you!". It's amazing how it literally lifts someone.
Thank you Laurie, this was just what I needed to hear in this moment! I SEE YOU.
Laurie, nice piece!
