“How can I best serve the person in front of me?”

It reaches far beyond emergency situations.

It changes how we listen.
How we show up in difficult conversations.
How we write.
How we try to understand the people around us.

It reminds me that before we rush to respond, fix, persuade, reassure, or explain,
there’s an invitation to become:
a little more curious.
a little more present.
a little more willing to understand another person’s experience before trying to change it.

I have a feeling that’s a lesson I’ll keep learning for the rest of my life.
