I want to understand you
Since it’s the only way to help you
But the accent in which the language was taught
Doesn’t sound the same to my ears
So unless you slow down
So I can catch up
There can’t be communication

This is a simple yet deeply meaningful reflection on communication and understanding. 🌿
I particularly appreciate the opening line, “I want to understand you / Since it’s the only way to help you.” It immediately establishes empathy.
Communication is tough sometimes
