Being open

My friend Sue Heatherington wrote a poem that deeply resonates with my recent thinking. I’m delighted to share it here. Sue’s writing generously shares wisdom, imagery, and hope from a “little valley in South West Wales.” I’m grateful for her work.

BEING OPEN

Where I stand
shapes what I see.

Lend me your eyes.

What I listen to
shapes what I hear.

Lend me your ears.

What I notice
shapes my attention.

Lend me your perspective.

And what I value
shapes my heart.

Let’s grow together.
