What if we were to take from the Earth
Only what we needed
To feel whole and fulfilled and beautiful?
What if we were to ask others to give
Only what they were capable of giving?
What if we were only to create
Art and poetry,
Relationships and communities,
Products and companies,
That bring love and healing?
What if we each were to feel the pain
Of all other beings?
What if you were to expect yourself to be
Only what you are in the
Bare
Stillness of your safe place?
What if we were to take from the Earth
Only what we needed?
