We love this reflection by Courtney E. Martin about the juicy gift of coming together IN PERSON as a circle of women. You can find the entire piece reposted on our WSF website [https://womenofspiritandfaith.org/the-gift-of-unmediated-witness/] and here is a little nibble:"When I sit in that circle, I am witness to the pain and beauty of ordinary, extraordinary lives. I am reminded that people are dealing with so much shit that we would never guess when we’re scrolling through Instagram or walking by them on the street…that these same people are stronger than we ever could have known. The depth of the strength is only visible next to the pain. I am reminded that people are funny as hell, that they are wicked even, in the best way. I am reminded that people do things for their aging parents, for their growing children, for themselves, that are superhuman. That they keep growing and apologizing and falling apart and coming back together. I am reminded that we are all part of generational stories, unfolding days at a time, but in the context of centuries. There is a quality to the translation that happens when bodies are there—crying and laughing and nursing babies and petting dogs and drinking beers—that I haven’t experienced online. To be a witness again—a flesh-and-blood witness—was such a gift. I went home in the dark feeling like my bones had been re-set. I looked up at the stars, silently thanking them for making me so lucky as to have even one night with women I love, testifying about the lives that we endure and shape. And I realized the stars are witnesses, the wild haired children are witnesses, we are all layers of witnesses on witnesses on witnesses. We crave to see, not scroll, as we live these lives in this liminal time; we crave to hear, not overhear. We crave to give one another our undivided attention—a realization of the love we know we are capable of if given the epidemiological conditions, the autumn evening, that very human chance. " We encourage you to subscribe to Courtney E. Martin’s insightful newsletter ‘the examined family’ [https://courtney.substack.com/] for more deep wisdom and brilliant writing. We also encourage you to read Courtney’s remarkable new book Learning in Public: Lessons for a Racially Divided America from My Daughter’s School ... See MoreSee Less
