"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
- George Orwell, 1984
Witnessing goes beyond seeing. It asks me to stand firmly present in a moment — joyful or uncomfortable.
It asks that I remember, honor, and perhaps even speak on behalf of what deserves to be acknowledged or what must not be forgotten.
Today I'm practicing witnessing by staying rooted — to expose and humanize truth, and also to rejoice in the astounding unfolding of life.
