Title: The Problem We All Live With, Norman Rockwell Archives

This painting is is a portrait of Ruby Bridges on her way to kindergarten in 1963. She is being escorted by U.S. marshals, since none of the local or state officials in New Orleans or Louisiana would provide any protection to this six-year old girl. When I read the Chodron quote this morning it is interesting that this was the first image I thought of and wanted to pair with this post.
