Response

This image reflects how I am experiencing the world right now.

 

It asks:

 

Can we just pause a moment and linger

 

Can we be caring, patient, and compassionate

 

Can we make space for curiosity

 

Can we be silent and listen

 

Can we learn something new

 

Can we appreciate each other

 

Without judgement
