A timely podcast: "Waging Conflict Without Violence: A Conversation with Political Scientist Maria Stephan" at buzzsprout.com/1835843/11665… Thank you, @MariaJStephan for sharing your deep understanding of the power of non-violent action.
“But why we’re not talking about trust and how to build it every single hour of every single day in this country I do not know. I don’t, I don’t know how we get out of this without working on that…: @amandaripley
GREAT interview/conversation.
For years, I've relied on @kristatippett & @onbeing to help make sense of the chaos in the world--& in my own head.
So joining you felt like coming home, in all the best ways. Thank you for all the ways you nurture wonder, hope & complexity.

Listen to this podcast to dispel any doubt about the power non-violent action, and how it overcomes the limits and counter-productive dynamics of war. Thank you, @MariaJStephan
"Non-violence means fighting back, but you’re fighting back with another purpose and with other weapons. Number one, your fight is to win that person over.”
Bernard Lafayette, Civil Rights Leader
The opportunity for Mr. Adams, and others of us like him, is to transform his grievance into greater compassion for those who feel the sting of prejudice far more frequently. Rather than "poor me," we can be thankful to have our eyes opened to the greater suffering of others.
