  1. We went out to a baby gym class but she kept putting her head down. I asked her what she needed and she said she wanted to go home. I asked what would help her feel better and she said cranberries. So we left early. Got cranberries. My daughter’s first mental health day.
    690 871
  2. Please learn from my mistakes. A patient told me he was being discharged and I said, “Oh get to go home?” He said, “No. I don’t have one.” He said he was getting a ride soon and I said, “Oh from friend or family?” He said, “The bus.” It was a good, visit but I presumed too much. I felt terrible. I’m normally much more sensitive than this. But I continually realize my privilege and presumptions can be harmful even when it’s not intentional. The patient was very gracious though he had right to be upset. Even years of doing this, I have so much room to grow. • A patient told me he was lonely and I said the old “You are not alone.” He told me “No, I am not just lonely. I outlived my family, including my children. I have no one.” He was objectively alone. I made a crucial mistake: I clichéd over his pain. Even when it’s true, there are times it can be harmful to say “You’re not alone”—as if that’s some new cure. What might have begun to help my patient is not to say a cliché he’s heard hundreds of times, but simply being with his loneliness. Ironically he may have felt less lone. • Sometimes I just don’t connect with my patients. I’ve learned: None of us are the right one for everyone all the time. Maybe I was the warm-up. Planted a seed, opened a door. Or I was wrong, and so I learn. Or my patient is in pain and it was never about me. • Most of the time, a mess-up is mine. I own it, I apologize, I make amends. All my defensive energy must be used to defend the wounded. Marching for justice does not make me immune to missteps. But my coworker told me something that saved me. After a patient berated me, I was sure it was my fault. My coworker said: Not everything is a teachable moment. I want to be teachable, but sometimes I learn it wasn’t on me. To be a chaplain means I enter with heart on the outside. When a visit goes bad, I take it personally. I always wonder what I could’ve done differently. But that assumes I’m the main character in that room. I’m not. I am passing by. A cameo. And I must not make their pain about me. There’s a lot I could do differently. Or—I could wait until the patient has had lunch.
    305 346
  3. Seven years later, I’m still here. Thousands of patients, hundreds of deaths, last words and squeezed hands, heart rates down to single digits, chronic pain and headline tragedies and final confessions—I have heard thousands of stories, and in some way have lived thousands of lifetimes. A chaplain is a grief catcher. • I’ve learned this. • It all goes fast. It’s not just that we are here for a short while, but we are paper lanterns and the fire is sudden. I know: not a new idea. But after a shift, when I get back online, back to the dinner table, back to a meeting, back to regular— there is a brief moment, right before I get pulled back into the illusion of forever, that I see the urgency of time. It’s never enough. • If you have heard the loud and long anguish of the bereaved, that wailing from the deep— it is impossible not to be for justice. For the wounded and vulnerable and weary and those shoved to the back row. In the middle of noise there are real voices in grief in need. The only theology and politics and philosophy that I care about is the type that cares. Everything else you can throw in the fire. • Sometimes I sit with my wife and I don’t say a word and we hold hands and I weep remembering them. • When I see my patients, I keep in mind I am a cameo. My goal is never to be a hero in their story, but only to help them be the hero in theirs. I am a cheerleader, a footnote. May I never be the center, not holding hands to lead them, but to be with them. I serve their stories. I am glad to be in their shadow. To hold their spotlight. To be their candle. I would do this again, a thousand lifetimes. To my patients, I hope I have honored you.

  2. K2, I have been waiting for the right words but I don’t know if I will ever have them. You weren’t just my teammate, or friend, you were my brother. Your smile and energy was so contagious and you brought so much joy into every single room that you entered. All those talks for hours on the field after practice paid off brother, we made history, and I promise you we will make sure your legacy lives on. The memories we made will stay with me for the rest of my life ♾️. You were so loved, I just wish I could have told you it one more time. Get your rest brother, hold it down up there for me. I’ll see you soon. I LOVE YOU 2ski #dontplay #LLK2 #tunechi ❤️‍🔥🫂♾️💔

  1. @manthropologytv asks men a simple question “Why are men like this?” it’s open ended enough that they could take it anyway they want to. Instead, it breaks their brains. So why are men like this? In her book the Will to Change bell hooks shows us how the dominant forces in our society train men to be this way. #exvangelical #deconstruction #menshealth

  3. In 1967, French theorist Guy Debord argued that capitalism replaces real lived experience with representations of that experience. The performance produces the correct emotion on schedule. The audience consumes it. That consumption becomes a substitute for actual action. Nobody has to do anything. A reenactment of state murder and a youth group dramatizing salvation run on the same logic, they both stage an overwhelming reality so that feeling it becomes enough. Kinda like what Nancy Pelosi in a kente cloth was trying and failing to do. Art can be protest. Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht argued that genuinely political art should prevent the audience from dissolving into the performance. It should push them back out into the world with questions they have to answer through action. The feeling is not the destination. Both of these clips do the opposite. The catharsis gets discharged inside the performance and the world stays the same. It ends up making a mockery of the thing it is trying to honor. #exvangelical #deconstruction #christianity #protestart
