“We
must learn to dwell in possibility.”
~Emily Dickenson
Are you a victim
right now?
Are you presently
at war
with anyone except
the fierce enemy
of your own mind?
Who is oppressing you
this moment?
Are you warm enough?
Do you have enough breath?
Perhaps you could take
a gentle step, here
where you are standing,
and discover that
the world is not
such a brutal place
after all.
There is, perhaps,
a square foot of soil
in your back yard,
a potful of
luscious loam
where you might
plant a seed of beauty,
of possibility,
of green.
