Can We

Forgive the mistakes other”s and we’ve made, over our lifetimes? Stop judging those not like us, without really or ever knowing them? Begin to hear and listen to the ever present whispers of our spirits and hearts, lost in the static of our own voices and the modern world? Stop telling untruths that break the bonds of trust? Learn to know and accept ourselves, so others may know us? Realize there are things that can’t be bought or found in a store, that matter and can’t be replaced once lost? I hope so, because then the guarded doors to hearts,and individual uniqueness, can be opened without fear of hurt and rejection, to begin sharing and connecting. As surely it was meant to be.
