About this Episode
Injustice
I’ll speak of Injustice:
She had the strength to harm him.
To strike the blow, to score the wound
But not to bind it up.
She cannot heal him.
She has no salve strong enough.
I was joined by my friend, Melissa Fairbourn Peterson. We talked about the wounds we all suffer from one another whether intentionally or not and that those who inflict those wounds cannot heal us - only we can heal our wounds.
We discussed the importance of apologies in the healing process. The dangers in demanding an apology. How recognizing our complicity in our wounds helps us heal, and so much more.
We read from Les Miserables and from The Gulag Archipelago.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at [email protected].
