Small groups are necessary

Small groups are necessary: it is here where we are heard; it is here where we get out hands working; it is here where we set our souls afire. Large groups are necessary: it is here where we spread our spirit. Fires respire.

Start, With, Fear

Start, With, Fear.

When we try to control, it is fear at work: we fear our plan will not be adopted if we do not control. Surely it will not, it never can be adopted: there are too many of us any time there are two or more of us, too many for only one notion to prevail. It takes working and weaving in face of fear, in faith in the people, that together we have a better way to try. No conclusions, only starts. Step out in face of your fear; trust your brother and sister; start.

Violence we want to overcome, not war

Colors and rainbows I see and hear; work as well. We cannot have—it does not seem to be given us to have all sweetness and light, harmony and unity among all peoples. There is something eternal about conflict and differences. Yet there is a oneness here. It is given to us to work this out. Work it is. Never complete, always calling to us: work with us to work for us, through the wars and conflicts.

It is violence we want to overcome, not war. Eternally there will be wars of ideas. This is good. This is growth. This is life.

Colors clash on occasion. They can work together, but even in the rainbow each shines. So it is work to work together. It is work to listen; work to hear. It is work to withhold violence; work to give confirmation as person to one whose ideas are contrary to ours. We are the colors. Can we weave colors? Can we encourage joining and shining out, gathering and loosening?

We are colors

We are Colors
Many we weave
Into one

Warring brightnesses
Gathering and Loosening
Is our Work

Weaving Freedom & Power
Ripping open & colors outpouring
Work is our one
