Structure

When the rigid walls have been abandoned,

we flounder a little,

seeking our structure

We will find it 

in the logic of our movement,

in the tug of our connections

as we spin

We’ll build its lattices

with every act of kindness

and the sinew of attention

and the ebb and flow

of where we need to be

We will stay free

of rules that are external to our living,

we will grow strong

through listening and giving.
