There is an image that I first encountered on Twitter that
instantly captivated me:
“If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies, how very
different our ideals of beauty would be.”
If only…
Here is another image that I discovered on Pinterest:
“How others see you is not important. How you see yourself
means everything."
And while I love the potential that this image represents, I also
recognize the challenges. This could represent pushing ourselves father than we
are truly capable. This could mean giving in to the dangers of eating disorders
or other self-injurious behaviors because we are never satisfied with what we
see...
Yet, when we combine the two images and teach our children
and ourselves to see souls and not physical attributes, how stunning the
potential.
And finally, there is this image:
"See the able, not the label."
How might these images help you lift the value of inclusion?
