A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .
I believe in changing systems and structures, but I also believe in hanging out with real people. When we work only on policies without hanging out with real people, we get tired. And if we are only bandaging people’s wounds without doing something about the systems running them over, we start to burn out. That’s why we give people fish, and also teach people to fish, and then also do something about who owns the pond.
The Irresistible Revolution

A Level 2 perspective would insist that one group win and one group lose. A Level 3 perspective would require that we all just get along.

The Map

The goal of examen isn’t to tally up your sins and failures from the day. The focus of examen is discernment. Where in my day am I being drawn toward God? And when am I being pulled away? When you’re disciplined in praying the prayer of examen, you’ll begin to note patterns in your life. You’ll notice how the roses and thorns tend to cluster around certain places, people, times, and activities. As you make these observations, you can begin to make adjustments, really leaning into and savoring the moments of consolation while becoming more intentional about addressing what triggers the moments of desolation.
