Tragedy everywhere,
ongoing thru time. In the moment, peace arises. On the fire escape a mourning
dove coos. The sun, a fiery orange, illuminates the street. A man is set on
fire in Egypt. A community burns in Burma. Ashes to ashes, but by my brother’s
hand? Screams of all the victims echo across the universe, they settle in my
heart. i've heard said, "My religion is kindness." To live that, in
the mayhem of this life, means it is time for me to begin work. (It is always
time for me to begin this work, and i begin again.)
