Diversity Statement

[peoppenheimer]

Imagine welcome
without limit. Who can be
bounded away from

love? Dialogue, anger, joy;
questions, creation, thinking!

Every kind of
human being comes to sing
here; many classes,

genders, sizes, faces, shapes.
Health, ability never

matching illusions,
standardizations, judgments.
All the gifts and strengths

we're sharing with each other
confidently, tremblingly.

Tastes differ, minds do;
here we share passion, essays,
reflection, dreaming,

sarcasm, analysis,
verse, criticism, and love.

Dreaming a world that
could be. Exploring a world
that all we have made.
