I reflected a lot this week on what it means to champion the vulnerable, and to walk with them. Literally, I make my walks with the most vulnerable people in my family, and I've noticed that walking with them literally, has shown me some things metaphorically. I will reflect and flesh these ideas out more at another time - it is late, and I want to keep my commitment of posting regularly. So without further ado - here are some of the things that came up for me this week.
Go on their terms
Go at their speed
If *you* need to go faster, you have find a way to carry them
No one gets left behind - even one left behind is too many
The perspective they bring, is as essential to me, as I think my perspective is to them
Vulnerable people have agendas of their own, that do not necessarily overlap with my agenda. Their agendas for their time are more valid than my agendas for their time.
Enjoy Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday if you celebrate! Next time I post, it will be Lent :o) Peace and all good, my friends.
This is a personal blog about my journey- physical, spiritual, and educational. I am a Roman Catholic wife and mother of four children. I am also an organization development consultant. Politically, one of my best friends describes me as so conservative that I'm progressive; or is it so progressive I'm conservative? No matter - you probably get the idea. This blog is updated once or twice a week.
