Mix and Shake
by Elizabeth Challinor
Imagine a world
Where
We openly share our vulnerabilities
Not in a self-pitying
Self-defeating
Apologetic
Stream of squirming sorrows
Regretful of yesterday
Fearful of tomorrow
No
Rather
An easy flow
Come and go
Give and take
Mix and shake
And dare I say
Celebrate
Our mutuality of being
Inspired in the play: Hacer Noche by Bárbara Bañuelos and an article by Sahlins "What is Kinship?" Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute 17(1)
