"we don't see things the way they are, we just see things the way WE are." so profound that those who haven't done hours of inner work might have no chance of ever truly understanding it. thank you.

To get to the point that you can tell your painful story is challenging enough. To speak it in front of a room full of strangers, unimaginable. Thank you for inspiring others

[@geniusiscommonmovement8223]

Wooooow! That was a very heartfelt and powerful piece you did my Brother. What you did in your video was open the door for cats from the streets to show the side of themselves that they have kept hidden for fear of being labeled soft. I Salute you a thousand times over for such a powerful expression of your truth. -Bruce George, Founder of the "Genius is Common" Movement, Co-Founder of Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam on HBO. #Geniusiscommon #Genius www.geniusiscommon.com
