My learning spaces


Monday was the turning point

I have to sit and
watch the anger
and make sense of it
and let it be

as someone's pain
rips through my efforts to learn more
and deny me the wisdom of my Guru

People reach out their hands in understanding
and they are pushed back- that's the way it has always been

I am not oppressed enough to be an Insider-

My history is down the ladder from that of others
and therefore my need to learn is tokenistic

I know some have said it before, with vested interest

I cannot bear the burden of history because I was not there then...

but I will not leave it there.

I am here now and what am I going to do about it?

Thank you for being you,

one of my very patient teachers.
