When you see a hurting friend in front of you.

When you see a loved one in distress.

When you want to tell someone how you feel, but hard to put it into words.

When you want to understand someone,

Or you want someone to understand you,

Or you think, “How can they understand me?”

What should we do?

What can we do?

To not pretend that we understand.

To not erase the parts that we don’t understand.

Together, going round and round,

Let’s together think about what it really means “to understand each other.”
