That's where the juice is.\\u201d - Parker Palmer [11:36]\\n\\u201cWe have to have not only conversation, and which includes listening and speaking across racial lines or other lines of divide. We need to have conversations within our own tribe.\\u201d - Parker Palmer [19:40]\\n\\u201cMy work, our work the Center for Courage and Renewal's work is, is the kind of conversation where people can listen at a level of depth where they suddenly find themselves saying, whoa, I, this other person is talking about themselves, but I just learned something about myself. And that those are precious, precious conversations.\\u201d - Parker Palmer [27:00]\\n\\u201cWe miscalculate how we come into power... Power is not something that we hold as individuals. Power is something that we generate collectively as all of the great social movements have proven.\\u201c - Parker Palmer [32:26]\\n\\u201cI think one of the greatest wounds that we find around the Earth is people who feel unseen, unheard and unappreciated. That's a very painful life to live. You know, \\u2018here I am. Nobody sees me, nobody hears me, nobody appreciates what I do,\\u2019 and there are millions, millions and millions of people who show up every day and to all kinds of settings who have that. - Parker Palmer [34:22]\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nConnect:\\n\\xa0\\nFind | Sidewalk Talk Podcast\\nAt sidewalk-talk.org\\nOn Instagram: @sidewalktalkorg\\nOn Twitter: @sidewalktalkorg\\n\\xa0\\nFind | Traci Ruble\\nAt Traciruble.com\\nOn Instagram: @TraciRubleMFT\\nOn Twitter: @TraciRubleMFT\\nOn Facebook: @TraciRubleMFT\\n\\xa0\\nFind | Parker Palmer\\nAt Couragerenewal.org\\nOn Twitter: @parkerjpalmer\\nOn Facebook:\\xa0 @parkerjpalmer\\n\\nSUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST\\nOn Spotify\\nOn Apple Podcasts\\nOn Google Podcasts\\nOn Spotify"
