When tension amounts
it introduces stiffness,
aches,
and knots,
which impacts
our mobility.
It isn’t

as in believing that we are.
Rebel
as in “No, I’m not.”
May we learn the choice
to simply understand
and appreciate.
We have trouble realizing empathy
because we
aren’t aware (even if we may know)
don’t want to (disgust)
or we are too afraid. (fear)
There is advice
that is accepted.
Then there is advice
that is rejected.
The former
dissolves the paradox
in the other person’s mind.

Empathy
is why we can connect
across boundaries

Connect with our emotions, we’ve stashed deep inside
Connect with our thoughts
