I sat in silence
but
inside I was kneeling.
I was told about washing feet
Inside, I wanted to 'do' not receive.
I was told about a traitors feet being washed.
Inside I feel like a traitor.
I was told about a man undressing to wash feet.
Inside I feel vulnerable.
I was locked away for three hours.
Inside I wanted to stay there forever.
I was robbed this week.
One man was betrayed to death by another.
I know all about praying.
Inside I practice so little.
I know I am a follower and a leader.
Inside I feel I know so little and love even less.
The person who robbed me this week.
Inside I find it easy enough to love him.
I was robbed of my DrDre Beats headphones this week.
Inside I feel they are a symbol of my love of music.
Being robbed of them creates a sound
Inside - beyond music.
Three hours of reflection.
Inside on a journey of becoming.
It is finished.
Inside I feel unfinished, work in progress, incomplete.
I want to be that journey.
Inside I want to be that, live that.
