If you feel like you don't know how to be of value to the present social unrest and demand for racial justice (or even approach it at all), then don't worry, you're not alone. But, if you've been serving mindfully then in some ways you've been preparing your mindset for this. You have a chance to really action these principles in a way that counts - to participate in the healing of people that have suffered in ways that you cannot know.
Everything you've been trying to do more effectively along your mindful service journey - listening, openness, compassion, healing, avoiding righteousness, catching reactivity - is a skill that can be applied to participating in the racially just world you want to live in.
It takes readiness for discomfort, missteps and self-examination. And probably a lot of other things that I have no concept of because this kind of awareness is something I am still learning. This episode is really just a statement of my willingness for the learning process, the tools I need to bring to it and a hopefulness that racial sensitivity will be part of everyone's else's mindful service journey as well.
