Have you ever stopped and
thought about my point of view,
my values,
my thoughts,
feelings,
and who I am?

This is respect, you see:
the stopping,
the pausing to reflect,
the seeing of the other,
and the examination of self.

This is sorry manifest:.
when you stop,
reflect and acknowledge
that what you have done,
ignored or condoned
ripples out like
a stone in a pond
on a white sunny day.
