fancy ways
and shiny things,
give me
slow hands,
honest eyes,
and full attention
with ease
…give me priceless things.

or how they’ve accepted being treated.

love can’t exist in a space without kindness.
or without respect. or in a space that
doesn’t honor us and cherish us.

we’ve called being in love, weren’t
spaces of love at all

who are willing to do the same.

freedom of religion
honors your freedom to your religion,
but it also honors…
the freedom from your religion,
and the freedom of other religions,
the freedom of spirituality that isn’t
found through or bound by religion,
and the freedom from any religion at all.

resonates as truth for you and brings
peace to your soul.
