Tonight I went to a workshop and talk by a survivor of the Rwanda genocide. The premise of the workshop was to reflect on why we tell stories and to invite us to tell new ones for the new year. The facilitator of the event founded a nonprofit designed to create healing in Rwanda. The nonprofit gives a cow to share between two families: one who survived genocide and one who contributed to it. In nurturing the cow, they simultaneously cultivate healing between them. I am intrigued by how their shared love of an animal can produce a love and healing for their community, too.
