Jill Cox-Cordova

I zoom- talked with Jill Cox-Cordova

my sensitivity editor for Exhalation

about trying to love both sides

of a feud driven mostly by fear

about needing compassion

in judging others and self

of reaching out

talking among and between

of listening

and hearing humanity

of diminishing that fear

Jill, so beautifully human, warmed

my heart and renewed my belief in

and hope for learning to accept and love
