The Different Ships, Same Boat book collection by Terah Cox contains around 75 lyric poems divided into three sections: Hurt, Hope and Healing. The lyrics encompass stories and commentary about plight and potential in America, exploring the different kinds of hurt that have long been shredding the collective soul of America, and the hope so many of us have to bring about the healing we believe is possible by bringing more heart to our relatings with each other, more heart to our aspirations, systems and laws—more heart to our values and bottom lines in every aspect of life.
From the Introduction: There is a profound opportunity in calling out our hurts, because in doing so, we are also inviting ourselves and each other to heal. With every hurting event or circumstance, when the emotional shockwaves of the hurt ease a bit—what begins to make itself known, like a ray of light piercing the darkness, are the potential gifts of the hurt: The power of acknowledgment that can free us from fear and denial, a shift from blame to collective responsibility as we begin to sense that the hurt doesn’t just belong to one, but to all, and...the willingness to grieve—in the depths of our own hearts, and together with others. This is when the humaneness in our humanity comes forward. This is when we begin to hope—and as we hope, we open ourselves to the possibility for healing and the betterment we long for.
