The poet Sappho writes,
“I want to say something but shame / prevents me // yet if you had a desire for good or beautiful things / and your tongue were not concocting some evil to say, / shame would not hold down your eyes / but rather you would speak about what is just.”
This week we will look at open listening and righteous speech as vehicles for social justice.
