A single race, the human race.
Jacqueline Novogratz writes in her book The Blue Sweater:”John W Gardner believed humans thrive in relationship to each other, and that communities to which each individual feels a sense of belonging.”
I’ve always been different. I sometimes upset people (because they think I’m ) trying to teach them something, but really it is myself trying to understand the world around me. Being a “less occurrence mind”, I see things differently; I don’t see the need for boxes, I don’t see wraps, I see the inside, I see movements, I see eyes, I see smiles. I feel my own fear, and I see it in others. I see my happiness and I see happiness in others…then I realize I belong to a single human race. Faride Yamin
