ever changing

we used to wonder
where War lived
what it was that made it so vile
and now we realize that we know where it lives
that it is inside ourselves

we used to wonder
where God lived
what it was that made us so transforming
and now we realize that we know where God lives
that God is inside ourselves.

Reflections on a Tragedy

I see that this tragedy is 30 victims,
20 children, six teachers and a mother
and son.

this tragedy will effect their immediate families,
their extended families,
the town,
the 27,000 people and go global.

President Obama will speak tonight,
but it is going to go beyond what he says.

When we looked at that town the first picture
I saw was soldiers carrying guns.

I thought guns --
just a reaction to a reaction we reach for guns

we are a killing machine
and we breed killing machines

We are not special.

These children were not special.

These are our children.

They could be children of the holocaust.

The could be the children of Palestine, of Israel,
of Rawanda, of Ireland, Africa, South America,
Syria.




Wherever we have guns, we are global.

We have to stop thinking we are special.

The ordinary is special.

Maybe the children will lead the way.

I think they will..

Maybe adults have to become as little children -
and little children will lead the way.

I see one globe.
I see one children.
