Questions for Reflection
Questions for Reflection
Answer the following reflection questions in the comment field below:
  • How is it that generous listening can be used as a muscle of compassion?
  • What would civic structures need to do in order to model compassion?
  • emma says:

    Love it! what we practice, we become!
    Everybody can become compassionate by practicing compassion….Thank you Krista.

  • gloria barton says:

    Once again a profound message of the huge ripple effect of the seemingly small action of allowing the space to see through the eyes of another with whom you may be in conflict with or in opposition too. Thank you so very much.

  • Rose says:

    Yet another wonderful speaker. Just when I thought they couldn’t get any better

  • Meredith Pond says:

    Tara, thank you for inviting Krista Tippett into this mix of personal feelings and neuroscience exploration. Until now, these two sides of the ocean of mind and heart life so very far apart for someone like me whose studies are mostly in poetry and creative writing. I appreciate the energy and seemingly effortless choreography of all this shared learning about our human condition . . . and the possibilities of what comes next, ultimately expanding our capacity for curiosity and compassion. Blessings!

  • Bhanumathy Vasudevan says:

    Tara- I just want to fall down and appreciate you for what you are doing!
    You are a true time spirit! guiding light to so many of us with such simplicity
    I bow to you keep you in my heart and see you in your true goodness with loads of appreciation and love! gratitude & love
