Embracing an Ethic of Reverence
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I am delighted to open 2014 with an article on a
subject very close to my heart, the idea of renewing
and embracing the spirit of reverence in our life
and work, and in particular, for the people we
serve. This particular article has been percolating
in me for many years, as I have patiently awaited an
opportune time to address the topic. While at first
blush readers may question the relevance of such a
seemingly "spiritual" quality for everyday
application, I urge you to give me the benefit of
your doubt and allow me to present a case for making
reverence as central to our daily lives as we
already make the ethics of truth, honesty, or
integrity.
Feel free to use the questions posed at the end of the
article to delve deeply and engage with others in a
meaningful dialogue about the role that reverence
has played in your life and work in the past, in the
present, and into the future. As a side note, this
month's poem, "Reverence 101", came to me at the
eleventh hour of finalizing this newsletter, and may
well serve as a summary of the main tenets presented
in the article.
Please join me in this journey...
~ Denise
