Beautiful words, and thank you for sharing the Guardian interview. It was a very powerful reminder of the importance of looking 'the Other' in the face, not as an easy thing to do but as a vitally important one. (Apologies, didn't mean to write an essay but you've sent me back to Levinas!)

I never did study Levinas, but his work looks fascinating. Thank you for reading, and for sharing him with me.

Incredibly powerful words, dear Matt. Compassionate, and hopeful, even as the black and white narrative seeks to divide us, that good people will hold communities of good humans together. Thank you for saying - so well - what right minded people want to be saying. Bx
