These, too, are your family,
any who would build a wall,
any who would throw a stone.
The other is your sister,
your brother, your mother.
Pick up the stones
and build fire circles
where everyone’s voice
can be heard.
Tear down the walls
and use the debris
to build bridges.
Tattoo these words
on your hands,
on your tongue:
we are all in this
together.
Hi, Rosemerry — What a moving poem! I posted it to my Facebook page. I hope this is okay with you. If not, I’ll take it down.
Absolutely, Betsy, thanks for asking. Hugs to you! Rosemerry

thank you for giving words to the power of love
Hi Deborah,
thank you for this … yes, it has been quite an interesting couple of days, I am surprised myself by the ferocity of the love i have been feeling. Tuck & Patti sing a song called “love warriors,” and I suppose that is the calling I am feeling. Love to you!
