An Opening Idea by Amin Maalouf terbrueggenj https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1301955456 "It is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free."

I would like to suggest that this also applies to the way we look at ourselves which also has the capacity to either trap us within our own narrow prisons, or set us free. 

Be kind to yourself as well as others. 

Thank you for sharing this space with us today. ]]> 2021-03-12 10:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1301955456 About the Author terbrueggenj https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1301970728 Sujata Bhatt is an award winning poet.

I cannot scream. 
With this stump of a tongue,
I cannot taste.
 
I swallow my words,
Going down smoothly
With the warm tea and sugar.
 
 I think of the boat that was my tongue once
And wonder where we would have traveled.

I've always done this. 
But, as I reach my soles feel heavy.
I gasp for perceived freedom,
but choke on ingrained tradition. 
Where does my heart lie?
Can I have both?
Fear sets in and I no longer trust. 
Is gold worth the sacrifice,
or do I settle. comfortable. accepted. 
I reach in tension, constant tension. 
But do they truly contradict? 
I'll never know until I've reached,
if my heart will finally feel whole. ]]> 2021-03-13 01:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1304671845 "WHERE ARE YOU FROM?" https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1304679815 2021-03-13 01:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1304679815 https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1304679961 "You're 28, why aren't you married yet?"

You are too old to be in school. You are not the right age to be interested in this or that hobby. You are too old to want to have another child. You are too old to change careers. You are too old to like that music. You are too old to travel with such abandon. You are too young to be interested in living in that neighborhood, in that area. You are too young to be in a leadership position. Age discrimination is a thing. ]]> 2021-03-13 01:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1304684504 https://padlet.com/terbrueggenj/tcsocialhealing/wish/1304684816 "You're a woman.

I do love my colored race.

I do no harm but embrace.

I trust your trust for the PEACE.
