What does it mean to live in a bubble? For me, it means living in the comfort zone that I have built (and have been privileged to be given) to protect myself from anything that doesn’t make me feel good, confident, comfortable and righteous. Those are pretty egocentric words, aren’t they? All under the all-about-me rubric.
Any day now the world situation might burst my bubble, and the more desperate I am to remain in that bubble, the more explosive and destructive the burst will be. So how about moving out of that bubble, or perhaps expanding it to include everyone? I just signed up to work at the Open Table, a soup kitchen in the area. This is a tiny shift, but a worthy one. The irony is that I know I’m going to love adding the soup kitchen to my bubble.
