And the hardest part was convincing ourselves
to listen as well as speak/to actually hear
what is being shared..Open hearts require open mikes
Permission alone is censorship.Trust requires truth
and the need to hear each other as paramount
Poems later,a certain clarity-it is only we who are here
99% are distant.1% represent the 99% absent
reinforcing the continuing conundrum of participation
as nominal and necessary for democracy relies
upon every heart and mind-even if we do not agree
Especially as we do not agree.We do not need to agree
Just to hear each other fully...
