The words on the 7♣️ come from the On Being Project:
"The adventure of civility for our time can’t be a mere matter of politeness or niceness. Adventurous civility honors the difficulty of what we face and the complexity of what it means to be human. It doesn’t celebrate diversity by putting it up on a pedestal and ignoring its messiness and its depths. The intimate and civilizational questions that perplex and divide us will not be resolved quickly. Civility, in our world of change, is about creating new possibilities for living forward while being different and even continuing to hold profound disagreement."
We need to stop, look and listen.
What would the world be like if our first words are:
"I see you...I hear you"
“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the President of the University”
