The river that runs through us

The river that runs through us,
The two footed
The four footed
The flat footed

The hard shelled
The green leaved
The calcified

Is as the ancients said
“The sympathy of all things”

The sympathy of all things

The sympathy of all things
our ancients named this
world we call
all our own
see:
all things are one
symphony

God is a symbol

In our times God is the symbol of our hope, strength, and ever present help. When we hear “God” we can substitute these words: “hope,” “strength,” “help,” “love,” “life” to get an idea what we mean.

People don’t actually stop for a stop sign:

People don’t usually stop for a stop sign: they flow. And why should they stop when we are opening space for one another, making safe space for one another?

to walk the different way

I want to walk the different way because it is new and because it goes closer to the water. Might be interrupted by museum, stadium or airport. But new things, new you.

we are to be angels for one another

People walking along, busy, in a hurry, working, going to work: these bespeak of help for one another. We are to be angels for one another—to guard, lift up, comfort, inspire, give wings!

Asynchronous-synchronous: an ancient rhythm

Asynchronously
is how our first generations
of technology users put it to use
until later generations
came along
and found ways with each other to become
synchronous
(Think email to txt,
books to classes)
for we love being with each other
except when others get
on our nerves!
An ancient rhythm….

Enough!
is a way to be gentle
among ourselves
Enough!

Beneath the violence done to you

Don’t assume
Others are good
Know

Your knowing is
Beyond technique
Beyond policy
To discipline

Seeing loving hearts
Beneath the violence
Done to you
