let it be

let the beauty you love be what you do. -Rumi.

wow. how often these two are divided - what i love and what i do or at least what i think about doing someday. God, give me the courage to do what i love. whatever the cost.
i will sacrifice my status.
though it was never much.
leave me a vagabond.
leave me outside.
but God my God
leave me love.

solidarity.

the word for this past weekend is "solidarity".

"a union of purpose."
"a fellowship of responsibilities and interests."

i didn't know the guy sleeping at my feet.
but that's ok. he didn't know me.
and i don't know the children.
but i know they are people.
i know they have names.
i know they have faces.
i know they are part of humanity
and i am nothing without them.
