Drawn

Every one of us is drawn

with lovingkindness

to our truth

There is no need to push each other,

no need to direct, persuade,

cajole, dictate

another’s course

There’s no perspective

held by any one of us

that is the one 

that everyone should use

We each are drawn

from where we are

to what we are —

Our truth, our love

will guide us

And we can trust each other

to be led,

however blind we may be

to each other’s leadings —

We can wait, and watch to see

the growing masterpiece

come in to view

in how we all are drawn.
