How can I possibly judge you
when I have yet to taste your past,
swallow your experiences whole?
What I call strange you may call Home
What you call strange I may call Self
Are you from “elsewhere”?
I am too, to you
Unfamiliar — scary
Alien —intimidating
Closer –exhilarating
Strange can be an invitation if you are willing
Everything unknown– potentially you
That first step past ignorance, terrifying or electrifying
Realizing the skin is just wrapping
The point of view is personal landscape
Moving beyond assumptions
Rapture
Claiming all as me
Liberating
Becoming an ally
Enlightening
Befriending the Stranger
was Me
all along.
