Holding the strange at bay


When you meet someone or something new, 
What are you looking for? 
Are you hoping to find what’s there to like, 
Or seeking excuses to disapprove 
And set yourself apart; 
Holding the strange at bay? 
Why must we be always
So determined to be discerning; 
Focusing on setting ourselves apart 
Instead of seeking what we share in common; 
Enriching our lives by learning 
From each other’s experience?
