#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.
