Bits of Being

thoughts on life, faith, family….and, yes, just learning to "be"

My White Privilege

= 1145

Shhh

If I don’t understand, I’ll not speak

For I can’t speak about what I don’t know

It’s not my place to speak of your experience

Shhh

I’ll open my ears and listen

I’ll open my mind and learn

I’ll open my heart and love

Shhh

Release my opinions

Hold my thoughts lightly

Shake my beliefs

Shhh

Where are my biases?

What are my prejudices?

How am I privileged?

Shhh

Create in me a clean heart

No judgment

Pure in love

Shhh

Laws can separate

Walls can divide

The cross can heal

Shhh

No more who’s in and who’s out

No more keeping others at a distance

No more setting myself above others

Shhh

We are one

If we listen

Peace by the One

Shhh
