Fiery Moon of Radical Interdependence

In the midst of fire

love

In the midst of fire

love

In the midst of fire

love

The necessary reaches beyond the possible

the just & good abide in breath

the creative collaborate

the grief fuels awakening

the mistakes connect

the pattern is clear:

never alone

we owe ourselves

to others

let us rise together

on the horizon

of the jagged world

compassionately

sharing the dark light

of shared suffering

sharing joy

in the shared sacred vision

of equality, respect, dignity

a rising moonfire of love

illuminating the hot heart

of the whole world

no peace, no justice

let us put our love into practice

no justice, no peace

let us make our practice

an active, visible, ongoing

love
