Listening, listening is his

key to learning,

said my grandson.

He is just 12.

 

How do you balance the sins of

the past with the

evolving now?

Forgiveness, he

 

said. He is only 23.

Young people with

a passion for

social justice

 

do the hard work in public schools,

synagogues, and

non-profits; mindful

meditation and

 

compassion classes are expanding.

In this world of

ugly tweets, blame,

do we dare hope?

 

Inspired by a conversation my son had with his son and by the program at the 25^thanniversary of the Chrysalis Institute, now The Center for InnerWork.
