+ the power we gain throughout our lives
is a mirage.
In the really real,
power can only be shared.
When we let go of the power we hoard,
power grows wide enough to share.
When the few in power release their hold on the land,
everyone has space to spread out + flourish.
Gentleness is the way toward an earth where we live in peace,
where resources are shared,
where everyone has enough.
