It's About True Love
A Poem By: Kelsey Syble
It's about Baja Blast freezes,
Central Park swinging,
and a bond that lasts
throughout all seasons.
It's about staring contests on the subway,
smushed together and barely breathing.
Lips curving as we play this game.
Electricity pulsing through our veins.
It's about the sleepovers that never end.
And the conversations so surreal,
that I truly believe
all my old wounds
have completely healed.
But then malicious marks on my heart
from men with lesser parts
appear like battle scars.
Instead of adding his own,
he tells me to "Come home."
I blink at him and ask, "Are you real?"
He simply smiles and kisses me.
And now I know how it feels to be at peace.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.
