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.
