what does it mean

not to build walls

around us

what does it mean

not to protect

ourselves

by believing the worst of our "opponents"

whose story shall i believe?

they are all my sisters and brothers and children and parents and uncles and
aunts and cousins and neices and nephews and friends and partner..

how can i carry all their pain in the pit of my stomach and continue to see
my "own" straight and narrow path, my "own" ambitions and dreams... what are
my "own" if not a part of theirs?

where shall i draw the boundaries - how, when and why?
