In a Journey from a Narrow Place

Mateo Rivera Osuna

In a journey from a narrow place, “see the other as a brother.” To understand the travels of the other, we are taught – narrow the space, to bridge the gap between the Others -- and Us.

In a journey from a narrow place, past suffering may bring compassion. Yet, beware of seeing your reflection. Afterall, it’s your brother – do not erase, when bridging the gap between Others -- and Us.

In a journey from a narrow place, sembrando el camino de: Fértil semilla, sowing the path of: Fertile seed, hasta llegar sonriendo, con dolor en la mejilla. until I arrive, smiling, my cheeks hurting. I must beware of reflections – do not replace, when bridging the gap between Others -- and I.
