What’s to fear
if there’s an ear

The Great Rift
Who will heal the great rift
between those with money & those without?
between those with power & those without?
between those with voices & those without?
between Republicans and Democrats?
between Republicans and Republicans?
between neighbor and neighbor?
between you and me?
Separation is a lie
There is no hero to heal us
except you & me
together
We must stitch & stitch
for fifty years, a hundred, more
keep telling each other
& every other
healing is the way
healing is the only way
Please pass it on.

:- Doug.
There is larger and there is smaller in life. We cannot be sure that larger will prevail; we must get to work. We can choose: some choose death and evil and selfishness; and some choose life and good and the whole. The truth is we cannot tell which will ultimately prevail, if either does; we can only choose and get to work to make it happen, or sleep while the work is done.
