See No Stranger. Wonder is where love begins...

"When we choose to to wonder about people we don't know, when we imagine their lives and their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see part of us. We prepare ourselves to love beyond what evolution requires." -Valerie Kaur, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love.

“It is easy to wonder about the internal life of the people closest to us. It is harder to wonder about the people who seem like strangers or outsiders. But when we choose to wonder about people we don’t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us. We prepare ourselves to love beyond what evolution requires…. ⠀ “Wonder is where love begins, but the failure to wonder is the beginning of violence. Once people stop wondering about others, once they no longer see others as part of them, they disable their instinct for empathy. And once they lose empathy, they can do anything to them, or allow anything to be done to them. Entire institutions built to preserve the interests of one group of people over another depend on this failure of imagination.” —Valerie Kaur, from See No Stranger, A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love ⠀ □✊□□□□ ⠀ #SeeNoStranger #DivineMusesOracle #shadowwork #revolutionarylove #loveistheanswer #cardoftheday□#oraclecardreading #oraclecardoftheday #divinemuses #cardoftheday #oraclereadersofinstagram #indiedeck #indiedeckcreator #tarotwitch #witchesofinstagram□□
