It took me ten years to even understand, now it brings me to tears every time I read it.

Here's a beautiful video, set to music, visuals and the printed word. It also includes the inspiration for the poem 4:33 min.

It helped me change that way I see all of humanity. For this I am so deeply grateful.

Thank you, oxymoron
