building community
making love in a world
without gun violence
without sexual assault
without prejudices
with my imperfect self
i see into this creek
so very clear
a living foundation
mindful of what matters
connection with others
as our authentic selves
makes for solid friendships
for our work is listening
truly paying attention
is a most wonderful act of kindness
supporting each other to be our best
nurturing our children to be their best
so that we can tell them,
yes, simple goodness
has a natural rhythm
in our world
