Brené Brown Instagram – In his brave new book, “The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves,” @shawn_ginwright asks a simple but profound question, “Can we heal the world without healing ourselves?”
I’ve always believed the answer is no, but I’ve never seen anyone propose a more daring solution than what’s in this book—and in our conversation on today’s “Unlocking Us.” There is so much wisdom in these four pivots. This conversation opened my heart and my mind. And, it’s tough.
I’ll share this one piece from Shawn’s book—it moved me.
“Dancing between accountability and grace is an art form. Without grace, accountability becomes social confinement, and without accountability, grace can become sentimental surrender. We need to joyfully dance between both, and when this happens, we collectively humanize one another and create new ways of being together, and we come to realize that the wilderness is not so scary as we believed. We need to be human with each other, and I need others to see me as human. This is the only way that our movements for justice will evolve, when we collectively turn inward to heal our hearts and soothe our souls. It’s not an easy dance, but it’s a worthy one.”
Here’s to hard but worthy dances. | Posted on 23/Feb/2022 23:15:56
