Evening CoSo!
Today was rough. César was badgered all day by hospital staff, as we waited for a key transfer to come through so his son could get critical surgical follow-up aid.
But! He's receiving those treatments now, & I've posted a piece for #OnlySky that reflects on a huge challenge for many secular folks: How to be present with integrity with folks in need who find their greatest comfort in faith. We share so much as humans that always matters more. ⬇️

@MLClark reminds me of a book I read in undergrad in my medical anthropology class called The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. The medical community could benefit from yearly anthropology courses
@Susandoyle Oh, what a terrific idea for intersectional studies and ongoing education!
I've heard of that book, and seen excerpts cited. Will take note of it for a fuller look down the line - thanks for the rec!
@MLClark the book is well done coming from an anthropology view. Agreed on intersectional studies and ongoing education for professionals that deal with multiple cultures. At least add a dimension of cultural awreness
