Time Zone
Your awareness of where others are in their journey. The ability to meet people in their time, not just yours.
Juliet Holmes and the Colored Water Fountain
Time Zone is about awareness of where others are in their journey and the ability to meet people in their time. Juliet Holmes's mother understood exactly where her six-year-old was — excited about colored water, not yet aware of what segregation meant. Rather than correcting her with a lecture or expressing her own fear and anger, she met Juliet exactly where she was and gave her an experience that matched her level of understanding. She didn't give Juliet the adult version of the truth. She gave her the six-year-old version, which was enough.
