that which is needed,
and our giving will be
what we most needed as well
Anyone can catch and kindle
the contact of eyes,
which forms a spark,
forms a river,
which warms us up and quenches our thirst
at the same time, as no single element can do
Any one of us can forgive
that which was not given —
we all have suffered
the momentary overwhelm of fear,
or the stuckness of static suppositions
Today I need both:
the giving and forgiving.
Grant me the moment,
grant me grace.
