Ember? - 1/23/97 to a person harassing us

I represent everything you fear and hate.
I am Love, I am passionate, I am open, I am mature.
You may never be able to understand me,
And you mock & criticize what you don't understand.
I am a threat to your little world,
A place of lonliness and solitude,
Withdrawn within yourself....
Entirely alone, in mind, body & spirit.
You must think my world is as limited as yours is,
You can't understand that I am never alone,
You can't stand that I am always loved wherever I go,
Always accepted, always in communion with someone else.
You can criticize, you can send me your spiteful thoughts,
Without your ever realizing just how useless & wasteful you are being...
The only criticism which is useful is of the constructive sort,
And someone who is enemy-centered is not able to understand.
Bullying is a child's tactic.
You can bully around objects, you can bully around bodies,
But the only way you can truly touch me is by loving me.
