Beyond Belief

A Conversation With Myself

Recently, I have seen

The arbitrary nature

Of my beliefs.

Because I was born here

To this family

This community

This religion

White

Female…

But what then, is beyond belief?

More belief, I believe

(for even unbelief is belief)

How, then do I know what is true?

Believe your experience

What you have observed to be true

Time and time and time again

The big truths you feel in your bones

The ones that make you weep,

In a moment of surrender.

Believe in that.

(And stay open to change)
