I was jumping up and down
trying to tell everyone,
Look what I've learned!
Look at the truth that changes everything!
I was thinking the most important thing
in my whole life
was finding a way to let people know
And then I realized
the same discovery must dawn
in everyone. In each of them
it must be as precious, as profound,
as earth moving, as it is for me.
No one needs a second hand dawn -
Each one gets their own
And how rich it is to see
this treasure, latent or in full bloom,
hidden or celebrated,
in every person. On the street,
in the grocery store, at their work,
each one promised and given
the holy vision
that means so much,
that means everything.
