The Politics of the Brokenhearted

The Politics of the Brokenhearted
In this interview, Michael Lerner talks with Dr. Parker Palmer about education, community, leadership, spirituality and social change. Palmer describes the tension needed today for grappling with the problems around us. He describes it as standing in the tragic gap the necessity of holding the space between that which is and that which we see as what could or should be. We are not to fall into either side, but transform the world to the degree that we are transformed, by making choices after our hearts are broken fully open that are on balance more life giving than death giving.
