I fight my ignorance still . I spent my entire teen and young adult years through the last tidbits of today‘s remnants despising an entire group of people. These people did not know love and kindness. They would say you can’t, you won’t , you are not able too. The childhood effervescence let it float until the years caught up.


These people never knew how to outstretch arms and surround a little body in love and comfort. Their arms outstretched only to swing, scold and reiterate their power over you, to express their ugly. Big men over small children. Brave. Weak.


These people mocked childhood learning and blunders. These people were rough and in even quiet screams told tales of what it meant to be one of them. The woman in these people were passive and robotic. Silenced. Living in accepted pain. Accepted repression. I hated these people too. These women. Brave. Weak. I grew up lovingly hating these people, as only a child can, knowing my flesh came through them. I was surrounded by their ignorance and it was taught to me , the inability to educate beyond the parameters of their mind. All these people to me were hateful so along with the ignorance they taught me to hate them. That’s what big people teach little people, they teach them who they are through showing them themselves. They taught me I could be non-tolerant of them and their ugly. My salvation living in a loving world abundant with acceptance and hope. When I emerged from this inside place to the outside place I found outstretched arms that chased my pain away. This beautiful world told me you are everything I see in you, your beauty and life is welcome to flourish here. These people taught me love, compassion and understanding for the inside people of my world but empowered me to live on the outside. I learned the inside people were not so blessed and not all the people who came from the same place as my inside people were like my inside people. I stopped my ignorance, compartmentalized it, to them and people like them, around them. My ignorance lives in the memories of my awareness of it. My love replaces the scars and hatefulness I now renounce. Ignorance lives in the shadows of hate, awareness opens the heart and love floods the mind, the soul, the world in healing.
