You may seem in the minority
while so few hold all the power.
Don’t let that fool you.
You may feel small and alone,
standing against selfishness and cruelty.
But you are vast.
Those who deny our unity
draw only from the dry cisterns
of their own fear and self-serving.
But you bud forth from our oneness,
a branch of one vine.
You flow from the infinite ocean
of grace that is God’s energy,
the power that orders the universe.
They have only the strength of their own anxiety,
but your breath and veins flow
with the ferocious life force of all living beings.
It rises through the earth,
overflows you, and warms the world.
Even when you stand alone
you hold us all in your hands,
you are one with countless others.
Even when you fail
you are a root hair of heaven.
You are immense.
