The Hardest Thing About Having Nothing

Is Having Nothing To Give
-Andrea Gibson


What would I give if I had everything?


-value to people who are deemed worthless
-justice
-patience
-hope hope hope
-sisterhood among brothers & sisters alike
-wild possibility
-the courage to dream
-smiling eyes that read, "yes...you can"
-tools & resources
-collective spirit
-lots of apologies
-a great alternative to capitalism
-a tiny push at the beginning
-permission to follow your soul-voice
-permission for men to be emotional
-permission for gender flexibility & loving who you love, simply
-my extra garden produce
-a garden for every home
-a home for every family
-a family for every child
-children for every community
-a community for every lost teenager
-a lost teenager in every heart so that it never forgets what it feels like to be tender, rash and creative
-creativity for every impossibility
-a soft hello to doubt...a place for it to wait while belief takes its turn
