The Food of Empathy

~ rachelamescua

At a school training, we watched a short video on the difference between empathy and sympathy by Brené Brown. In my writing course, I was tasked with comparing an image to an abstraction. This was my result. Enjoy!

Empathy is…

warm apple cider
steaming…
on a cold, crisp night.

savory stew
slow-cooking…
at 2 in the morning.

creamy cheesecake
shared…
when a cafe is closing.

…no judgement.

I am in transition. After teaching secondary science for over a decade, I chose to teach middle school English. Honestly, other than school reports, emails and social media posts, I have not written much of anything since college. Teacher's should model their subject so I am now writing... and relishing it. This blog will serve as a platform for my writing. Lets see where it goes.
