understanding

Somebody asked me : “do you understand me?”

And instead of answering, I was thinking about the word “under-stand”

How close can we share our experience and our perception?

or do we always feel as citizens of  a foreign land?

 

What are the hidden components of under-standing?

The words, the expression, the intonation, the hints, memories, imagination, and reality landing..

 

Do we non stop, recreate, redefine, and reinvent ourselves in a dialogue?

Like a jumping frog expanding landscape, out of the fog?

 

Maybe all we are seeking is acceptance and love,

As a security umbrella for who we are, not from beneath but from above.
