Comment by Joanna Macy: The Work That Reconnects
If you have an itch to display your expertise, that's counterproductive; it can get in the way of the work. What people most need to hear is inside them. It's their own inner voice, based on their own experience, their own perceptions. That is so often squelched and repressed that we tend to forget, and lose our own authority and energy to act to preserve our lives, our families, our world. So this is essentially truth work. We help people tell the truth about what they see and feel and know is happening to our world. And to tell the truth about their love for this world, and about their pain for this world as well.
