    In Giving, In Relationship

    It’s been said before,
    “Do unto others,
    As you would have them
    Do unto you.”

    How do we interact
    With our inner selves?
    To what depths do we reach?

    Whatever you offer others,
    You must nurture in yourself first,
    Lest your wellspring run dry.

    To be kind
    Is to cultivate love within.
    If you dwell on I,
    You lose sight of We.
    And no I is
    Without the embrace
    Of the We.

    The kindness in giving
    Is a radiant energy,
    A resonance and a pulse.
    Giving of ourselves
    Ignites friction.
    Friction births a spark.
    Collision unveils new beginnings.

    A single spark
    Illuminates eternity.
