When War Becomes Background Noise

What happens to the human heart when war fades into daily life? In this three partWeBeTheChange series, A Collage of War, we’ll journey into the historical conscience of war with elder author Dan Strawn. Dan Strawn opens this first episode with a short but potent poem he wrote before the Iraq invasion. Then he widens the frame: war as a bully-pattern, war as greed, war as a spiritual injury to a nation’s character. His lived memory carries a steady insistence to not normalize what should break our hearts. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the current clamor, you’ll appreciate the slower tempo of this episode to actually see the shape of what’s happening.
