Small Acts of Witness

We often think of bearing witness in terms of large community or societal events. However, I believe that the small daily moments of bearing witness are more personal. Holding a friend after her brothers death was bearing witness to her grief and her love for her brother. These life events are not staggering when compared to the world stage, but they are staggering to the individual. They don’t need someone to “fix” anything, but simply to honor an event by bearing witness with them. -Katherine Hofmann (CLF)
