Morning 11/17/17


The things we say and do
in private
in sole company
how much would surprise everyone
how much of it wouldn't

Being alive is such a strange and natural thing.

What will be done with this day?
What will change.
What will remain.

The better angels of ourselves are calling us 
to a place where we can heal and rebuild.

What are we striving to be closer to?
What well are we drawing water from?
What nourishment do we seek?

Kindness.
Only kindness.
Is it so difficult 
to live in accordance
with a simple idea?
Kindness.
Spread only this
to all our sisters 
and brothers.
To treat all
in this way.
Can we?
Will we?
What will
be lost if
we do not?
