We sit in the same place
assigned seats, in the sanctuary
our neighbors, beside us
in the courts, in the journey
in the Temple of God.
Assigned seats in the Temple
as it has been always;
How this must feel
to be left out,
to be an other.

I have seen several other pieces on the internet about
the back story to some of the people we judge,
how we don’t know
what they have been through or
are going through.
Here are just a couple:
