Every one of us is drawn
with lovingkindness
to our truth

There is no need to push each other,
no need to direct, persuade,
cajole, dictate
another’s course

There’s no perspective
held by any one of us
that is the one
that everyone should use

We each are drawn
from where we are
to what we are —
Our truth, our love
will guide us

And we can trust each other
to be led,
however blind we may be
to each other’s leadings —
We can wait, and watch to see
the growing masterpiece
come in to view
in how we all are drawn.
