In this incredible world of diversity, there is a darkness that blinds us from recognizing the beauty and value of all humanity. We are held hostage by our misconceptions, prejudices and fears. How do we break free?
There is hope in the darkness. Beacons of light shine amongst us revealing the goodness of mankind. These courageous ones are moved by the people before them. They see into the human heart and respond with a radical compassion that inspires hope and rebuilds the human spirit.They are Allies.
Allies, whether they are organizations or individuals, empower those who have been marginalized by our society. They recognize the value of others, offering community and providing opportunities for them to fully participate in life.
Over the next few weeks, I will be featuring several segments from my new book, Radical Resilience, When Lives Are Changed by Extraordinary Compassion.It is my desire that this book would encourage an increasing heart of compassion for the marginalized in the world today.
Together,
Carol Marchant Gibbs
