Sketchy Boundary Issues
My left-brain dominant challenge
begs for a worldview
of unconditional warm regard
Which sometimes feels uncomfortably warm
through heated confrontations
confused about whose voice is rightfully speaking
respectfully with whom
And who is listening curiously
for
and with whom
to practice universal
uniting compassion,
employing warm organically-fed tools
