"…I would say that other‐preservation is the first law of life. It is the first law of life precisely because we cannot preserve self without being concerned about preserving other selves…"
In honor of the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior Day in the United States, I thought I would share two related quotes from him. Both of these quotes come from the time of his launch of the Poor People’s Campaign.
Reflection questions:
- How will you invite someone in your community to join you in this other-concern work?
- If you have had a hard week in your work, what do you most need to recharge? Time with the clients you serve to see the difference you are making? Time with a donor to hear why they support the cause? Or time away with your community? Take the time.
