Gentle Teaching is primarily for us—you and me. It is for us in that the change that is desired falls on our own self-transformation and the recognition that our central gift is to express unconditional love. It has to bring us to a point at which we reflect on our own change as well as the slow transformation of the other through our own ability to increasingly give or express unconditional love. The other will not feel a connectedness until we discover our own connectedness. We need to accept the person as is, enter his/her space, and initially teach the person it is good to be with you because you are good. Most importantly, Gentle Teaching asks us to reach out to those whom we “should” love—our spouses, partners, children, aging parents, and extended family. In our vocation we are called to serve those who are most abandoned, forgotten, spiteful, mean-spirited, aggressive, and harming themselves and others. The first step is not to try to change anyone with these needs, but to simply be with him/her and discover in ourselves how we might enter more deeply into an alienated person’s space without provoking violence and share a sense of being safe and loved. Gentle Teaching knows no bounds in terms of whom we serve. First, it is for us and those whom we are closest to, it then spins outwardly to the poorest of the poor and all those rejected and marginalized elsewhere.
