Empathy is when we see another person’s needs and longings as clearly as we see our own, when we feel another person’s wounds and scars as if they were wounds and scars on our very own body, our very own skin. Empathy stitches us together when a thousand loud things act as seam rippers, shredding the fabric of our connectedness. Empathy simply picks up a needle and begins stitching again—together, together, together.
