That sense of being different,
which had long plagued me, disappeared
when I saw the threads that run through all of us.
Sharing our stories, our feelings,
it is the areas where we are the same that impress me.
The differences are but delightful flourishes on the surface
like different-colored costumes, and I enjoy them.
But the basic ways we are human,
the basic ways we simply are, stand out to me now.
I came to see that we are really one,
and I no longer feel alone.

Thought to Ponder....

I am unique, just like everyone else.
