insanity?
I beat my head on the same wall
still believing that goodness
is more real than malice
more real than historical hurts
more real than secret shadows
i choose to believe
goodness and mercy reside there
as well, in these hiding places
I work to look past the visible;
I continue to move toward walking and gifting
mercy, goodness and forgiveness
So I focus on opening and listening
and what i hear:
it is time, kathy, to gently stand up
stand up, kathy
and i will
as gently as i can
in spite of what i see
