“‘Meet me in the middle,’ says the unjust man. You take a step toward him. He takes a step back. ‘Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man. Beware of requests for compromise when you’re asking for justice and the other side is asking for consent to continue.” A. R. Moxon In this episode Katelyn and Nic discuss how it feels to be in the Midwest— in the middle of corn, of big cities, of where big life events are happening. We discuss roots and a line from a book by Scott Russel Sanders where he asks his dad why he would eat dirt. We wonder if we’re forgotten here or if we want this.
