"That was your gift to me-
there-that was the place
where my life bent away from itself
to join something else,
just as when we say
it did not happen to only me
we begin to give up the self,
saying that it happens to all of us
and that is when we begin to hear
and to speak and to give up our silence."
-Maxine Scates-
