Anything that is real is found in relationship.

If it has not,

If it builds not,

The power to connect,

Neither my life,

Nor those around,

Have any meaning.

 

Learn to say yes,

Think yes, in anticipation,

Of the question yet unasked.

 

Living to fulfill the prayer of others

Do I cease to exist?

With such availability,

To what is said “No?”

 

A yes to my brother,

Is a yes to my prayer,

And a NO,

To the illusion

Of Separation.
