Love this reflection: “. I think we're compassionate because we know that peripheral living – we always arrive anywhere on the outside looking in. It could go the other way where we could become very defensive if we didn’t check in with ourselves, but I think it comes from a deep longing for more connection.”
I have gone both ways… but I think my mixed-ness makes me more available to look at people and situations with more openness and curiosity and empathy.
Interesting to read. Something for me to bear in mind to keep the conversation open with my mixed-race children!
