A Poem

Moons Of Self

Has the gap between us
become a chasm?
Our arms less rigid
more elastic
attempt to reach across
the expanse
that tries to separate
and alienate.

The dream of opinions
and differences
Dissipates, as Moons
borrow pure
Light from the
Sun of Oneness.

Food For Thought

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness... And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future... the future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." - Howard Zinn
