She told me that growing up
as a Jew in Manhattan....
Christmas was a time
to identify oneself as 'not with
Jesus'.. so often she said
'not Jesus' 'not Jesus'
it became like not thinking
of a white elephant.. one obsessed
on him all the time.
Years later she had a Hindu guru..
and had come to love Jesus
and his teachings.
Wish all read this significant poem to neagate their dislike.
