MAKE ME SMILE
Your ignorance
I can understand
without hearing the stories,
or walking on the land.
Without ever feeling
the spirit of place
which touches deeply
an inner space
where connection to
everything can be found,
breathing the air,
knowing the ground,
how the tide rises,
which way water flows,
the fact that everything
comes and goes.
Until you tune in,
listen for a while
your ignorant remarks
just make me smile!

For me,
an odd connection with smiling and ignorance.
Almost causes me to be sad that one might see an ignorant (uneducated?) person as not content with one's life.
That said,
i ALWAYS thank those who cause me to smile or laugh. (i believe this promotes more of the same in their lives)

Thanks for your comment Tallen, this one was inspired by watching some debates in regards to Australian Cultural Identity, how the stories of our history have only began to become truly known in very recent times. There are many people with fixed ideas which can be very frustrating, but there is no point getting angry about it when you can just smile and acknowledge that they still have things to learn.
