From this vantage point, 
Look. The wondrous still point
of present perfection.
Here you sit royal, here you command
the whole realm of your consciousness, 
all you can perceive 
From this vantage point you see
you have no need to flail
amid the scramblings of the world,
no need to quaver (strong but small)
against colossal evil 
Notice the power of your focus:
Your insistence 
that only what is true 
can be played out
in this realm that you command 
does so much more
than steps to fix what tells you it is wrong  -
a different, a more potent kind of strong.
