What I See Now

What I see now
that I couldn’t see then,
was that people’s cruelties
flow out from their scars.
Just like mine do.
And yours do.

It stays that way
until Awareness,
that great merciful mindquake,
taps us wide open.
And then,
instead of seeing
from certainties,
we start seeing
from heart.

Thank you for stumbling us Lorraine. We produce thought-provoking and gritty films and reports that focus on survivor stories and society's injustices.
Your site was a peaceful haven and my block was 'innovation' - that helped me into a positive mood for the day.
Please feel free to share our website with it's free films and reports but we always send a gentle reminder that our films and reports do contain strong language and some films may cause triggers for survivors.
Keep up you inspirational blog.
