'We are all visitors
to this time, this place.
We are just passing
through.
Our purpose
here is to observe,
to learn, to grow,
to love…
and then
we return
home.'
- Australian Aboriginal Proverb
Strange how
I have lived this
for a long time
now
and yes
I am returning
home versed
in a multiplicity
of foreign
experiences forged
in lives hearts
emotions touched
I have lived
ethnic diversity
reflected upon
acts of kindness
injustice intolerance
and know all people
of true religious belief
principles
sow acts
of compassion
grace
understanding
forgiveness
beautified love
thank you
for the blessing
of your kind
thoughts my friend
