I can only be myself
It's all I was born to be
I'm sorry
If that journey
Has disappointed some of you
I've never meant anyone any harm
I'm just doing the best I can
*********
How does love transform people?
I honestly don't really know
It just does
I can maybe guess
That it reaches something
Deep down inside each of us
Something beyond words
Something you can't really define
When you look at someone
Even momentarily
With unconditional love
It transforms their entire world
It can
It's just that powerful
(Does a person have to have a frame of reference for love? If like those lab monkeys, have never known love can they understand love? I don't know. I've yet to meet a person that I believed to be pure evil and I hope to God that never happens - that that doesn't exist. I honestly don't know. So. To not live afraid. Let's assume that life so far is exactly what's it's presented itself to be so far; a bunch of fallible humans simply doing the best we can).

I know
(Maybe?
Being half Hispanic half black minority
Born in the US
I have a unique vantage
Maybe that helps me to know a little
To Understand a little more both sides
But I'm hoping and guessing and wanting to believe
That we all have it in us
To see the other persons point of view for ourselves
To let ourselves step into their shoes
As best we can)
**********
I do honestly, truly value
The customs and traditions of the United States
The laws by which this country was founded
but I also know the heart of the minority
I know that when those laws are not used judiciously
Equally
That you want to scream
That you want to pound your fists and cry
(I think this is all people treated unfairly really
And even some not treated unfairly. Lol)
But my point is.
I get it
It's hard to not get excited.
To let all your emotions out
Because how are you suppose to effect change?
If you can't let people know you want things differently?
Conundrum indead
But the only way
That I've seen from personal Experience
to ever effect real change in the world
Is to come at the situation
Any situation
With love
It's hard as heck
I will not lie
But it's the only way
Truly.
To come at the problem
With an open heart
Consistently
Not just to those that agree with you
But to everyone in it with you
"You're not alone" as per my wise husband, or in the process of being ex husband (don't ask)
We're all in it together
Right?
