Risk Kindness

risk kindness
at every turn…

this quiet necessity,
this simple response;

seeded inside us 
long before we landed
upon this moist, green earth,
under a shimmering canopy of stars...

in every circumstance;

let the warm honey of compassion
be your guide;

the beloved beholding 
the beloved...
