oh beloveds

ask questions

ask questions

we need a shared     (context)

a something

together

together is the point

this vision

is not about precision

or prophecy

this is the truth:

we are each answers

each

somebody’s heaven

each precious

we shouldn’t be so tired

we already belong to the earth

the lush garden, the fresh and salt water

the cave and complexity

don’t believe

in trash people

collateral damage

buried history

lost souls

all that hatred is the long lie

no one blooming life

is a threat to you

don’t teach your children to wither

or delight in enemies

we cannot be better

than the worst of us

or safer than the danger we allow

we cannot leave

poison in the soil

we must pull it, whole

where its rooted

we are a pattern

life and death intertwined

learning to hold

the love of god

we are a web

vibrating strands of home

learning to catch

our breath

so listen

listen

and ask questions
