Listen to the land, listen to one another. Slow down and reach into the uncomfortable spaces ignored for centuries. Touch the wounds in our hearts and the earth. Show up with courage. Set down dominion. Step with kindness. It’s not complicated, really. Just watch the dancers. Follow the circle.

Often, humor was the antidote to loss. The more I listened, the more I learned. Sometimes the lessons cost me my pride.

For what? Chee thought. But he didn’t say it. His mother had taught him one learns through the ear and not the tongue.

Children Will Listen
“Careful the things you say,
Children will listen.
Careful the things you do,
Children will see.
And learn.
Children may not obey,
But children will listen.
Children will look to you
For which way to turn,
To learn what to be.
Careful before you say,
“Listen to me.”
Children will listen.”
–Into The Woods, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine
