what if we could exchange worlds, would you live in mine.to live in mine is to understand it, would you open your doors wide enough to let all of my world in -see it for what it is- I am my world and all that is in it. Would you know me for what I am-different from you?
What if you could live in my world- would you change it for me or for you, and when you do, would I be able to come back to it – will it still be my world or would you have to teach me how to live in it. what about my teachings will they have a place in my world.Would you change me too?
My world your world what will it be,can it ever be open enough to let all of my world in or is it only big enough to be you. whose identity would it have.My ancestors, do i have to change them too? what do I teach my children, will they be your children too?
Does my world make a difference to yours, I have learnt to understand your world, can I be different.
