To Be A Careful Witness


 I often feel as though everyone I know has already "gotten" this.
Like I'm the only one on earth who needs to hear it.  
(except for "those" hate filled humans on the "other" side; 
they are the ones who need to hear it most! wink wink)

I confess, judgment is well programmed 
and automatic in my inner psyche.
Harsh or dismissive judgment is
such a quick and easy way to
keep on moving along
my own self righteous path 
to what's "really" important.

When I do happen to catch myself,
it shocks and shames me.

has been highly beneficial in this regard.
The trick is to muster compassion
and even love for myself 
in the thick of my shock and shame.
I'm grateful for encountering her.
