” . . .
I am human, humans learn.
My learning has been fraught
With challenges, frustrations, loss.
Issues abound, but so do gifts.
My gifts are discernment,
A very good ear,
Passion, interest in life,
A relatively quick mind.
I have a caring heart,
An appreciation for beauty,
A love of learning more.
I could have made you curl your toes.
I can listen to your past,
Can you listen to mine?
Can we acknowledge each other
And the paths we have traversed?
Or are we doomed to continue
The age-old dance
Of loneliness and isolation,
Wrapped in our cocoons of pity?
. . . ”
