The Big Picture

Trusting that my evils
are a part of Nature
Willing to do the time
should my crimes cross the lines

Compassion for the vanquished
be they insects or demons
respecting the lives of those I don't like

Having no fear of being harmed
fearing not that I will hurt another
trusting in the resiliency of the human spirit
yours
and ours

I imagine that we stopped trying
to figure out a way to win the struggle
and just stopped struggling

imagine that we are no longer in opposition
to each other

imagine that we are able to coordinate
our perspectives
enough to pull the Big Picture
into focus

revealing the reality
of our interconnectedness
