We will do this even though
we don’t know how it will be done.
We will ignore the many voices
telling ways they know that it will fail

We will do this because
it is the one thing that can prove to us
we are here, and we are not pretending

From the depths of each of us
we’ll bring our capacity to know the truth,
and we’ll see the truth together,
rolling into awareness like some grand dawn,
evoking cries of wonder
from all who see it

This understanding
will unify and strengthen
what we are together
and what we are alone.
