Play-doh

 

When you are sitting across from someone 

try hard to hear what they are saying to you. 

Take it in, work with it, repress any emotions

that attempt to well up and seize your mind.

They have handed you a piece of play-doh.

Move it around in your hand, look at it from

different angles, imagine what it could be 

from a shared perspective of love & respect.

Your response can make it ugly or beautiful.

Your patience & humility can bring disparate

elements together to change you and the

person you are desperate to understand.
