The Person We Bring Into the Room (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to Infinite Threads. I’m your host Bob.For the last couple of episodes, we’ve been looking outward.First came empathy—the ability to recognize that another person is living inside a world every bit as real and complicated as our own.Then compassion asked what we might do once we see that clearly.Today, I want to turn the mirror around.Because there is somebody else involved in every conversation we have.Us.That sounds obvious, but I don’t think we always realize just how much of our
What Empathy Asks Us to Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to Infinite Threads. I’m your host Bob.Yesterday, we spent some time with empathy—that strange and beautiful human ability to step outside our own experience long enough to recognize that another person’s inner world is every bit as real as ours.Today, I want to go one step further.Because empathy helps us understand.Compassion asks what we’re going to do with that understanding.That doesn’t mean every time we feel someone else’s pain we’re suddenly responsible for fixing their life

The Last Chair at the Table (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to Infinite Threads. I’m your host Bob. This week, we’ve been telling stories. A man held a door too long. A woman kept a porch light on. An apology finally left a glove box. Yesterday, a boy turned his bicycle around because he saw a hungry dog and could not make himself keep going. Today, as we finish the week, I want to tell one more story. This one begins around a table. There is a family gathering. Nothing formal. Maybe a birthday. Maybe a holiday. Maybe just one of those Sunda
