I believe it's especially important for those of us
who are comfortable and privileged--
whether we are white,
financially secure,
male,
or have some other social "advantage"--
to nurture a contemplative mind.
Only through the eyes of the Divine Witness
can we learn to see
that to which we are mostly blind.
Only when we are listening from the True Self,
not the protective ego,
can we hear the truth about ourselves and the unjust system
in which we participate.
~Father Richard Rohr
