Canon
•
Tippett: real hope is sober — it doesn't require optimism or positive thinking. It requires seeing the world clearly (including its darkness) and choosing engagement over despair. Hope is the opposite of denial.
•
Tippett: after 20 years of conversations, she sees her role as bearing witness — creating space for human voices to be heard. This is a form of moral responsibility: the responsibility to listen.
