Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization. My only question is, will we pass that test? (Steve Goodier)
“Hi!” my neighbor shouts.
I wave and smile. No need to say more.
He is jogging with his dog. I am carrying groceries.
Simple-world things,
no action either of us needs to remember.
The painted work of my granddaughter speaks for us.
One humanity. May I act with awareness
of both the inside and outside of anyone
who walks inside and outside
my accepting, integrated circle,
until someday all understand.
