\nHow do we make the safety in ourselves that makes it possible for others to feel safe with us? How do we make it safe for others so they can feel safe in themselves? How do we make it safe for us to disagree with one another as well as agree, to be uncomfortable together as well as comfortable, to hold together unity and difference? And how might committing to this make it more possible for us humans to live together in families, organisations, and the societies of which we are a part?

\nSafe Space
\n
\nWhen there is nowhere else you feel safe,
\nand you think that goodness has gone extinct;
\nwhen the world seems cold as a snowed-in car
\nthat won\u2019t start anymore \u2014 step inside this poem.
\nFind solace in the spaces between each line,
\nbreathe peace in the pause between words.
\nLet no one every say you don\u2019t belong here \u2014
\nyou were born, you\u2019re alive, you exist: take this
\nas proof that you too are loved. Say this to yourself
\nuntil it is true: May I be safe, may all beings
\non this planet be safe. And feel how a small fire
\nkindles in your chest, spreading to the bundle
\nof tinder that is your heart, still humming
\nits tireless, ancient hymn: I am, I am, I am.
