I grow into my shoes
I love reading this, Afton! You’re wide open to expanding your understanding and letting it reflect in your poetry. Beautiful!
Thank you!!☺️
Astonishing truth-teller. I am gobsmacked again by how deeply this strikes and reverberates in my body. This poem should be taught in schools in the US. Thank you for your generous sharing here, Afton. sending you love and hugs!!

Such an important perspective—thank you for sharing how important geography is, too. How amazing is it when a map comes alive!!
I have always felt that international travel is an essential part of education.
Your poem gives words and wings to that idea, Afton.
Well done.
Beautiful... simply beautiful!!
wonderful and insightful
Thank you
So important to see life from various perspectives
In the 20th Century we learned how to put a man on the moon. In the 21st Century we need to learn to walk in each other's shoes.

Yes! Just think the whole world is out there waiting for you! But you can always come back "home" for long visits! Beautiful poem, Afton!
This poem is really getting me thinking. I especially like these lines: “We can’t sit and yearn
But by taking a turn
We see through other eyes
It’s the best way to learn.” I like thinking of you writing poetry in the park!
Magnifique! Merci
