Mosaics 8/7/2022

Opinions
Perceptives
We all have them
With many differences
Often creating a mosaic
Of tension among us.

How do we live
With so many differences
While immersed
In our humanness
And still feel connected
At the heart?

Tis not an easy task
Accepting all perspectives
If we are trying
To prove a point
Of right and wrong.

The one
Who asks this question
Must use awareness
To determine the
Other’s level
Of understanding
Within the network of love.

For it will be easier
To adjust your reaction
If you know where
The other’s foundation
Starts from.

Then elevate yourself
To a higher viewpoint
That’s when you be able
To connect with other’s heart.

Accepting them with love
No matter what
They believe or say
For that’s where
True compassion
Lives and breathes
While
Living with mosaics.
