How do you know the things that you know?

How do you know the things that you know?
Do you know how to show how you learned what you know?
To map out the path, to describe how to grow?
It is useful to describe the world as I see.
I may learn just like you, but that not need be.

There's a tendency to think, “Others think as I do.”
But I should consider, that may not be true.
A whole other world you may experience and see.
A whole other world, unfamiliar to me.
So let's dig into our minds, and define how we think.
Define what steps are involved, redefine and rethink.

Perhaps into words, or drawn with chalk or with pen.
Describe with the imagination of a child once again.
With marvelous detail, what it’s like in my mind.
How I think of up/down, left/right, front, and behind.

How I see images in my mind, or perhaps not at all.
The order of letters I see on the wall.
The color of 3, or the number for red.
How bright lights and loud noises fill me with dread.
The stress that I feel when I sit down to write.
The things about myself that just don’t feel right.

What if I speak to you and share what I see?
Think how much we could learn, how beautiful it could be.
To acknowledge our differences without judgment or shame.
To embrace each other, as is, and know no one's the same.
To share how we think and how we’ve earned what we know.
So perhaps we can help each other to learn and to grow.
