Today, I took out time to check in on some colleagues with ill-health.

Usually calls like this have a predictable pattern. The person picks up and you can tell they are not whole from their tone. Then as the discussion proceeds, they seem to get energised. And the conversation ends in gratitude.

People need care in their most vulnerable states – physically, mentally, socially, financially and spiritually.

Care energises. Judgment drains.

I am thankful for the opportunities to energise through care.
