"Outwitted" a poem by Edwin Markham

He drew a circle that shut me out - 
Heretic, rebel, at thing to flout. 
But Love and I hat the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

EDWIN MARKHAM






There are seemingly many divisions between us as citizens in America, ethnicity, education, race, socioeconomic background, religion, money, privilege, success, status, political beliefs, language and residence. But looked at from all angles, we really are in essence, the same. We want love, freedom, acceptance, connection, to feel worthy, to have purpose, to pursue our dreams and to be able to take care of ourselves and loved ones. Can we give "the other" a chance, a listening ear today, and perhaps a smile of understanding?



Love, Respect and Peace,

Jess
