I See you...

If I say to you, “how wrong you are in everything you do” sadly you’ll start to believe it.

If in turn, I repeat with sincerity you are creative, intelligent, beautiful, kind, diverse and real – my hope is you’ll start to believe it.

And with this fuel of self-acceptance you’ll translate the former assaults into gardens of seeing others who need to hear,

“You are creative, intelligent, beautiful, kind, diverse and real.”

My hope grows fuller for this to be repeated as vast as the sun and moon stretches over this very earth until we all believe it.
