UTOPIA

UTOPIA

we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue

we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement

we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and enjoy

and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak up

we would share and listen and support and welcome

be propelled by passion not invest in outcomes

we would breathe and be charmed and amused by differencebe gentle and make room for every emotion

we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen

we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled and be unstoppable

we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which

we'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
