“When we forget that politics is about weaving a fabric of compassion and justice on which everyone can depend, the first to suffer are the most vulnerable among us—our children, our elderly, our mentally ill, our poor, and our homeless. As they suffer, so does the integrity of our democracy.”
~~~ Parker Palmer

Compassion and justice can be hard to find in politics. Maybe more will remember.

I hope more will, including members of the electorate. We are all called to care for others within our communities and beyond.
