🪶 Lee Maracle, a groundbreaking Indigenous writer, poet, and storyteller, reminded us of the importance of listening—to stories, to history, to one another, and to voices too often silenced.
Truth-seeking begins with listening.
And listening is more than hearing words.
Intentional listening means slowing down, being present, and making room for another person’s experience without immediately trying to interpret, correct, defend, or solve.
It means staying curious, and allowing people to tell their stories in their own words, in their own way. ❤️
Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer someone is the space to be heard—not to fix their story, but to understand it.
