Empathy in a Time of Crisis – 3

At the end of our third week in lockdown, we are still baking bread (with mixed results). The photos we share of our endeavours – with the occasional novel ingredient – keep us connected and smiling as flour turns to gold dust across the land.

Empathy in a Time of Crisis

At Empathy Action, we are continuing to choose empathy and employ Radical Kindness in whatever way we can, even if it appears to be more limited in its scope. And – day by day – we are appreciating what we have, thinking constantly of our friends further away.
