In this deeply personal and unguarded exchange, Krishna Das and Bernie Glassman reflect on what it means to bear witness—from Auschwitz to the Black Hills to the streets of our own cities. They speak honestly about fear, memory, and ancestral wounds.

Resilience grows from clear seeing and an open heart — toward others and ourselves. When compassion and courage move together, we can face suffering without hardening. Soft hearts, steady action. This is integrity in practice. #Compassion

We look outward for peace — in policies and leaders — but peace can’t grow from an inner war. When we stop fighting ourselves and meet our fears and grief with care, something shifts. Making peace within isn’t indulgent; it’s foundational. #NotKnowing
