Not the band, tho I do like them.
I've been thinking about who is hidden, when others are visible. Like how in the Bible many female characters are not even named. How in many recordings of history, only certain perspectives are noted. It's so important in every meeting or discussion we find ourselves in, to keep considering which voices are missing here, where are the views of the working class or Black or Asian folk, are we just hearing from White heterosexual male leaders? I watched the film Peterloo last week and am still troubled by it.
I also saw a quote this week, from Gustavo Gutierrez
So you say you love the poor?
Name them.
It's all about being involved. And yet not without its challenges.
