Katie B.

            Known

 

Everyone likes to share

Listen to what happened to me . . .

Or you’ll never believe this . . .

Or I feel . . .

Some people share to

An extreme and dominate

Others moderate

How they converse

Both want to be heard

To be understood

To be valued

It is rare that we

Intrinsically know how to

Adequately acknowledge that one

Has been heard

When you find this one

You have found glory

For you are known

    To be seen, heard, noticed all part of being human and being acknowledged. Well said

        Thoughtful and grounded—this cuts to the hunger beneath every voice.
        The grit is in the truth: being heard is rare, and worth everything.

        • Katie B.

          Absolutely! Your comments are right on target. Thank you for the read and the thoughtful review.

          Katie… this feels grounded and honest…that search to be heard running through it. That distinction between being listened to and truly known carries real weight, and you brought it through in a clear, human way. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Good write K. A bit like - The first person says, How are ya? The second person just replies 'OK'. The first person thinks 'I never really wanted to know anyway'. Doh! (lol).

          The art of Conversation. A tricky one.
