This is a framed photo of the poem I read at the WIN UNESCO event on Thursday. I originally wrote and read it at an event at the Jewish Community Centre in December. I was writing to artwork about the Holocaust. It's one of the works I'm most proud of..

I need to be part of something
Larger than myself
To stretch myself
And go beyond myself
That is the only way
I can be true to myself
That is the only way
I can be myself
And embrace the larger world I need
Just as it needs me
And embrace the people I love
Just as they love me

Let us show show the humanity and empathy we're capable of.
#ChooseKind
We're at a pivot point in society thanks to
#COVID19
. Our primitive brains instinctively divide the world into "Us" and "Them,." Our enlightened brains are hardwired to be kind, empathic & inclusive. Choose enlightenment. Choose kind. Let's make
#ChooseKind
a trending topic.
