hey! do you know me

9/7/2019

I wrote this after a chance encounter with the beautiful Ms. Zai Miztiq in Batam in 2018. And, together with some discoveries of friends from the stories they shared with me, I wrote this during a break at the conference. It is puzzling how we assume we know someone based on the years of friendship. The truth is, we still will not know the other person until we provide the safe space for them to show their true selves while time just slips by us.

Yes, I know you, Kris. When I heard about your book, I told myself, “It’s about time!” You have been an inspiration to all the people around you with deep thoughts, candid action and strong will. I know you since 10 years ago when you stepped into our classroom. From an educator and a mom to a chairwoman of Namaste World Foundation, and now a poet, nobody knew what you have gone through deep inside. Finally you decided to share the journey with all of us in poems! I was moved to tears the first time listening to your poem and voice... And I know many would step in, step up and step out together with you. Namaste!

Thank you, Shuna, for sharing your connection with the poems. This is deeply motivating to me and I will continue to write to move others to take their first steps and continue to empower themselves.
