what would have happened
if you could have just
sat there watching the waves
and slowly recharging your batteries?
would you have changed any
thing or said something different
if you had been left alone
to just skip stones
across the water with only
your thoughts on your mind?
might your friends have understood
the Beloved Community you offered
if they had seen it built
like sand castles on the shore,
rather hear a parable which
seemed out of place next
to a lake teeming with fish?
