The Most Challenged Domain of Outer Action

The most challenging domain of outer work is when we start facing the severing that comes from systemic violence. It takes a real courageous truthfulness to see the reality of the suffering and keep our hearts open. I want to share a story told by Brian Stevenson, a social justice activist who models the possibility of repairing severed belonging. He writes about one initiative where people would go to lynching sites and they would dig up the soil and put it in a museum with the name of the victim as part of a real restorative act.
