So this entire trip the word "community" continued to show its face. In our text that we read, the blogs that we wrote and the conversations that we held. But it wasn't until yesterday, that I felt we were an authentic community. If it's one thing I've learned during this experience is that community is messy, its ugly and sometimes its distant, but that doesn't make it any less of a community. Before our "community problem" I felt we were simply getting by or tolerating each other because we had to, but last night showed our strengths as well as our weaknesses, our fears as well as our triumphs. We were a community because we balanced each other out, where one was weak the other was able to hold that weight and vice versa. Though we had ugly moments, the calm after the storm proved what this team is really about, and I am forever grateful to be a part of that.
Thanks!
Nobody knows what it's like to be you, and that's the beauty.
I can't know you unless you teach me.
Show me that ways of your heart and the darkness of your soul.
Show me how to love you even when love is not what shows.
Reach out your hand, ushering me into your past and I will follow.
Oh how I love to get to know you.
For the more I learn about you the more I get to know me.
We are one with two different avenues, two different paths two different trials to lose.
And it wasn't until I got to know you that my flaws made since.
Because you are the part of me that I once missed.
Together we make a whole being, wrapped up in intelligence, and sealed with the perfect kiss.
Without you I don't know all of me.
Nobody knows what it's like to be you, and that's the beauty.
I can't know you unless you teach me.
But I hold a piece of you, it's how I live, it's how I came to be.
