Americas-Europe Community Cafe November 2023

I shall stand for love,
Even with a broken soul,
Even with a heavy heart.

These words from a poem by Dorothy Oger have been with us as we were designing this month's Community Cafes.

Standing for love can mean so many different things: caring for someone or for something; standing for our values; loving the Earth and making sustainable choices; witnessing others; showing up even when times are tough; and so much more. Standing for love often is linked to compassion, curiosity and courage.
We want to take time in our Community Cafes this month to explore this field of “Standing for Love”.

Our late colleague and friend Dorothy Oger wrote this poem on the day after the terrorist attacks in Brussels in March 2016. At the time of writing, a close friend of hers was missing. Two days later, we heard that he had been killed in one of the bombings. Dorothy’s poem has since been translated into 74 languages and has traveled the world in so many different ways. We are grateful to Dorothy for sharing her poems with us and remember her with tender love.
