CreativeSprint Day 21 - Inspiring Story - Compassionate Neighbours

#CreativeSprint Day 21 - Inspiring Story - Compassionate Neighbours

I spent the day at the launch of Compassionate Neighbours in South East London which involved hearing people's stories of what a good neighbour is and how it feels to be compassionate.

An open hand
A naked hello
A warm heart 
Reaching across social divides
Crossing the lines demarcating
A lonely world

From behind closed doors,
Amidst the crowded bus
Or across the fence
A friendly face appears
With warmth, understanding
Food to share.

Invisible spaces 
Become neighbourly places
Full of gentle eyes
Observing both privacy
And connection between
Our intersecting worlds.
