So many thoughts for your every essay. My husband & I have also had observer training. But it’s becoming dangerous to know what to do. One of our Latino sources told us of someone who came to her describing how he had been taken by a young Latina employee in a Walmart vest to a room where officials in uniform accused him of stealing bags of grapes. They took his picture, name & address. Didn’t arrest him, but now have his identity. It’s becoming difficult to know how to respond. How to do so with perspective. Yours is always spot-on shaped by your vulnerability & noteworthy perspective. Thank you.
Such a beautiful post today Amy. I agree with you that when we experience an event, it is easier to understand someone else's perspective. One of my clients had a sudden loss last year and it helped that I'd also experienced this.
My heart is still beating hard even from the secondhand experience of the simulation! Thank you. Amy.

Empathy has been leaking in our society to our detriment. Thank you for addressing the taking of perspective.
Lacking not leaking, but maybe it is lacking because it is leaking.
