We are going to be a community of diverse people who do not think the same or live the same lifestyle, but if we are going to live together peaceably, we need to find a better way to disagree.

I had a calm conversation with one of the protesters who approached me. I asked him to consider that yelling at people might result in them putting their guards up, increasing the tension, and in turn, people yelling back. It’s a cyclical deterioration where no one hears or understands one another. Anger and fear are the brothers that are born of this kind of relationship. I would say the same to those who yell back at the protesters.

The only way we will love our neighbor as ourselves is by getting to know our neighbors, even in the midst of our differences.The only way to truly know someone is by being with them, by conversation.

The only way we will love our neighbor as ourselves is by getting to know our neighbors, even in the midst of our differences.I am willing to have a conversation about how my journey brought me here and how you have come to this point.The only way to truly know someone is by being with them, by conversation.

Screens make me discontented With where I am. There is alwaysSomething else or somewhere else.People talk and I am absent.

I’m talking to the only one who’ll listenAbout the lonely nights and all that I’m missinHaven’t seen you lately but I heard your doin fineI’m In between two places Where my words didn’t come to you in time
