Jotting from my journal. Day #82 of daily writing/sharing

If you cannot bear this world a moment longer, child, make another. —Madeline Miller

A New World

Maybe, in these dark dark times,
when there is a spotlight on the greedy, 
the ugly, the unbearably cruel, 
when the cracks in the foundation 
are disturbingly exposed,
 
we are being called 
to tear down 
the old smallness 
so we can build 
it new, 

made with things 
that only know 
how to open, to soften,
to take care, 
to include. Maybe 

we are being called 
to rebuild with 
collective kindness so strong 
a new way 
will reign, ring, sing— 

a new world where we lift 
one another from the unbearable
and make something unquestionably, 
undeniably, foundationally, life-savingly
true.
